Performance Distributors: Over Four Decades of Ignition Innovation

Founded in 1974 and headquartered in Memphis, Tennessee, Performance Distributors has spent more than forty-three years engineering some of the most technologically advanced ignition and electrical systems in the high-performance and motorsports industries. What started as a focused pursuit of better spark has grown into a comprehensive lineup trusted by weekend racers, professional competitors, and serious street enthusiasts alike.

A Legacy Built on Better Spark

The Performance Distributors name is no accident — the performance distributor remains the cornerstone of their product philosophy. Their distributors are precision-built to deliver consistent, accurate spark timing under the demanding conditions of high-RPM engines, forced induction, and extended race duty. Whether you're building a classic muscle car or a modern street machine, their distributor offerings represent decades of refinement on the dyno and the track.

Alongside their signature distributors, Performance Distributors has developed an extensive ecosystem of complementary ignition components. Their Firepower Ignition Kits, SOS Coils, Screamin' Demon Coils, LiveWires, and Modules work together as a cohesive system, ensuring every link in the ignition chain is optimized for maximum energy delivery. The brand also offers ignition speed limiter rotors — a critical component for engine protection, allowing builders to set precise rev limits without sacrificing performance at lower RPM ranges.

Dyna-Batt: High-Performance Power Storage

Performance Distributors didn't stop at ignition. Recognizing that a powerful spark starts with reliable power delivery, they developed the Dyna-Batt line of high-performance vehicle batteries designed to handle the increased electrical demands of modified and race-prepared vehicles. Paired with their performance battery terminals, the Dyna-Batt system ensures low-resistance, high-current connections from the battery to the rest of your electrical system — a detail that makes a measurable difference in ignition performance. For builds where battery placement is critical, their battery boxes and trays offer secure, purpose-built mounting solutions that keep your power source protected under race conditions.
