MSD Ignition – Crank Trigger Kit; Flying Magnet; Big Block Chevy (Part No.8620)

Crank Trigger Kit; Flying Magnet; Big Block Chevy

from

$481.99
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

MSD Ignition – Coil; GM External HEI Coil; High Performance (Part No.8226)

Coil; GM External HEI Coil; High Performance

from

$71.99
Top off your GM ignition system with these great new replacement coils. The GM coils have MSD performance in factory style housings. MSD designed these coils by combining our blaster coil experience with e-core coil efficiency. Each coil has a unique turns ratio plus there is lower primary resistance than the stock coil. This all amounts to a bolt-in replacement coil that produces more output voltage. The coils will work with stock ignition systems as well as MSD equipped cars and trucks. Installation tip: If you plan to install an MSD ignition with your GM dual connector coil, use PN 8876 harness for a direct plug-in installation.

Product Features:
  • Direct performance replacement for GM dual connector coil
  • 100:1 Turns Ratio
  • Lower Primary Resistance Produces High Voltage Output
  • Works w/Stock Ignition As Well As MSD Ignitions

MSD Ignition – Blaster 2 Coil: High Performance Ignition Upgrade (Part No.8202)

Blaster 2 Coil: High Performance Ignition Upgrade

from

$49.99
If you are looking to upgrade your stock coil, or want to compliment the performance of your MSD blaster ignition, MSD 5, 6 or 7, the blaster coil line is the right choice. All of the blaster coils are designed for improved spark output. Special 100:1 windings are used to provide maximum build-up of voltage. These windings are held secure and kept cool in an oil filled metal canister. The tower assembly is molded of durable alkyd material due to its high dielectric characteristics while wide spaced brass primary terminals prevent the possibility of spark. There are several versions of the blaster coil available. All of them have the same internal specifications, but have different housings or components. Each blaster coil can be used with a stock ignition, blaster ignition, MSD 5, 6 or 7 ignition control. Most late model vehicles with electronic ignitions do not require a ballast resistor, check your ignition and manufacturers specifications to determine if a ballast is required in your application.

Product Features:
  • Improved output coil for electronic ignitions
  • Works w/Blaster Ignition Or MSD 5/6/7 Series
  • Ballast Resistor Required If Used w/Stock Points Ignition
  • Alkyd tower w/high dielectric properties lessens carbon tracking
