The ignition system is like the nerve center of your engine. It is precisely calibrated to fire electronic pulses at the exact right time to keep your engine running at maximum efficiency. One of the main components of your ignition system is your Volvo 850 distributor. If your distributor is old and tired it can cause poor performance and running issues that could leave you stranded by the roadside. A simple fix to this problem is the addition of an aftermarket Volvo 850 distributor. Here at Andy's Auto Sport we have a great selection of Volvo 850 distributors for you to choose from. Whether you want an OEM replacement or a high-performance unit, you are sure to find the perfect distributor in our vast collection.

Distributors are a wear and tear item that is often overlooked in vehicle maintenance. The distributor shaft rotates once per engine cycle, meaning it is put under a lot of strain during your vehicle's life. Over time distributor shaft bushings can wear out causing sloppy spark distribution which in turn leads to difficult starting, poor gas mileage, and ultimately a motor that doesn't run. A new Volvo 850 distributor will solve all of these problems and get you back running strong. If you are building a high-performance motor there are also plenty of uprated distributor options that can boost performance and better match your high-strung engine.

Q: What is a distributor? Why buy one?
A: Distributors are a component of your ignition that allows the proper distribution of spark to your engine as the motor spins around. In order to keep your engine running smoothly the distributor has to be in great shape. Any wear in the shaft or electrical contacts can cause a host of running issues from misfires to complete failure. While replacement distributors are a great way to bring your vehicle back to stock running condition, high-performance aftermarket distributors are also available which can greatly improve both reliability and performance. From dual point distributors to electronic conversion units, aftermarket distributors will provide a more powerful and reliable spark to keep your engine running reliably with more grunt than before. In addition many of these distributors have tunable advance curves so that you can customize your distributor to your engine specifications. A new high performance distributor is one of the best modifications you can perform on your engine.
