Ready to run distributors ????

Anyone know what this means?
I was looking for a distibutor on Ebay
and this popped up on several auctions.

Think it means they have some sort of ignition module built into them

That means that you dont need any other addititonal ignition box,it is all contained in the distributor.

ECU is built in, ie you do not run a chrome box, orange box, etc. Two wire hookup usually. One wire to power, one to coil if memory serves. The one I used to have ran a hall effect sensor instead of an old school magnetic pickup, supposed to deliver more accurate spark timing. One thing I wonder about them is how easy/hard they are to adjust the advance curve.

I just bought one from wysco, I plugged in and it ran great. One wire to ignition pickup, then the ground and coil wire (external coil). The problem I have no is retracing all the old wires and [Edited by Moparts - Keep it clean], since alot of the factory wire bundles have the alt, and distributor harnesses taped together.

It's made for a full day so far.

I posted on here a while ago that I installed the same one on my '85 Gran Fury (I know, not a muscle car) but it was so easy, the results are instant and you can really feel how much better it runs plus its all self contained so a little extra work and a lot wiring goes away.

I haven't seen a ready to run that didn't have an adjustable advance.
