MSD Ignition – Crank Trigger Kit; Small Block Ford (Part No.8640)

Crank Trigger Kit; Small Block Ford

from

$502.99
For a long time, racers have known that one of the best things to do to an engine to improve its performance is to stabilize the ignition timing. The MSD flying magnet crank trigger system does exactly that by using magnets embedded in an aluminum wheel. The MSD flying magnet crank trigger uses four magnets secured in the aluminum trigger wheel that pass by a stationary non-magnetic pick-up to trigger the ignition. This flying magnet design produces accurate trigger signals and the non-magnetic pick-up cannot be false triggered. Each flying magnet crank trigger includes a two-piece mounting bracket for the non-magnetic pick-up that in most cases will work on either the passenger side or driver’s side of the engine (the SB Chrysler and SB Ford brackets mount on only one side). The adjustable bracket provides a wide range of timing adjustment and spacers are included. These systems will trigger MSD 6, 7, 8 and 10 series ignitions and all MSD timing accessories.

Product Features:
  • Absolutely The Most Accurate Way To Trigger The Ignition
  • The non-magnetic pickup cannot be false triggered.
  • Powerful magnets are embedded in a billet aluminum trigger wheel.
  • Incl. brackets/mounting hardware to fit a variety of engines

$47.99
The improved spark energy and voltage of MSD’s blaster 2 coils, combined with reliability, have made them a favorite for performance enthusiasts. Whether firing a restored BOSS 429 or a Saturday night circle tracker, the blaster 2 has always gotten the job done. MSD is excited to offer blaster coils for late model Ford engines with coil-on-plug technology. The new blaster COPs are designed as a direct bolt-in replacement coil for many SOHC Modular Motors. The housing and installation are the same as the factory, but that’s where the similarity ends. Inside the MSD red housing, engineers spec’d better material to assemble the primary and secondary windings. There is also patented dual magnet technology to step up the output. Together, this combines a coil that produces higher voltage and spark energy. The coil-on-plug design of the blaster COPs puts the spark energy right out of the coil and across the plug gap to improve the combustion and output of the engine. The blaster 2 COPs are available individually or as a complete set of eight.

Product Features:
  • Fits 1999-2004 4.6L And 5.4L SOHC 2V
