1989 GMC K1500 Performance Ignition Products

For a long time, racers have known that one of the best things to do to an engine to improve performance is to stabilize the ignition timing. The MSD Flying Magnet Crank Trigger system does exactly that by using four magnets embedded in an aluminum wheel. Although similar in appearance to other crank triggers, the MSD Flying Magnet design works on a different principle. Most crank triggers have a wheel, with steel studs sticking out, bolted to the harmonic balancer. As the crankshaft turns, the studs pass by a stationary magnetic pick-up, triggering the ignition. This pick-up can be triggered by other bolts, debris, or even vibrations which will cause a loss of power or engine damage.

The harness plugs directly into your factory coil and harness then four color coded wires plug into the corresponding wires of the MSD.

The kit allows you to remove or bypass the low-powered HEI module and coil and replace them with the MSD Digital 6AL Ignition Control and the Blaster SS high output coil. The result is more power, increased rpm range, easier starting, plus better mileage and performance. The Kit includes the new MSD Digital 6AL Ignition, Blaster SS Coil, coil wire and HEI dust cover . The 6AL has a Soft Touch Rev Control to protect your engine from overrev damage.

This high performance HEI module provides your plugs with more spark over the stock module. The solid state electronics provide high coil out put and superior reliability. The Dwell control circuit ensures, long consistent coil charging. The current control circuit protects against coil over heating. This module fits most GM Remote Mount Coil HEI distributors for V8 engines.

The Street Fire Spark Plug Wires feature a low resistance conductor that’s wrapped in a sleek and durable black sleeve.

Most modern electronic ignition systems require suppression style wires to preserve sensitive components. Flame-Thrower 8mm Custom fit MAGx2 wires provide enhanced RFI suppression and dual current paths for more power delivered to the spark plug. Our custom wire sets have factory terminated ends for a superior connection and perfect fit, without cutting, crimping and splicing.

This combination is encased in a heavy duty sleeve that will withstand abrasion and high temperatures. Cap off each end with our Dual Crimp Terminals and you have the best wire available.

The traditional ACCEL combination of yellow wire and red spark plug boots has been added to these SuperStock Spiral Core 5000 Series wire sets, which feature color-matched wire and spark plug boots in blue, black, and red. With only 500 ohms/ft. of resistance, more ignition energy can reach the spark plug, producing a longer-lasting, hotter spark flame kernel. The results is higher performance through improved efficiency, quicker throttle response, and reduced emissions. This 8mm wire’s double silicone construction is rated to 550 degrees F. The high-gloss wire jacket resists moisture, chemicals, and heat extremes for longer life and great looks. The fiberglass braid adds greater pull strength and terminal retention, while the stainless steel spark plug terminals provide excellent long life, electrical conductivity, and corrosion resistance. Both universal and custom-fit applications are available for early and late model cars and trucks.

“Engineered from the inside out, the 8.5 offers everything you have ever wanted in a wire; incredibly low resistance without electronic interference. In a single 12 inch length of Super Conductor Wire there is only 40 – 50 ohms of resistance. That is the lowest resistance of any helically wound wire. To accomplish this, we use a copper alloy conductor due to it’s great voltage carrying capabilities. The low resistance results in less loss in spark energy so more reaches the spark plug. The conductor is wound extremely tight around a special center core. So tight in fact, that there is over 40 feet of conductor wrapped into a single foot of plug wire. This winding procedure, combined with a ferro-magnetic impregnated center core, produces an extremely effective Electro Magnetic Interference (EMI) “”choke””. This choke, or suppression capability, keeps the EMI inside the wire where it cannot interfere with other electronics on your vehicle. The outer sleeve that surrounds the conductor assembly is just as impressive. A proprietary blend of silicone and synthetic material produce a sleeve that is highly resistant to high heat as well as abrasion and tears. The MSD’s 8.5mm spark plug terminals feature Dual Crimp terminals. As the name implies, the terminals feature two crimps; one for the sleeve of the wire and another separate crimp to grasp the conductor.

GM Dual connector coils mount directly in place of the factory coils and accept the factory connectors. Spark energy is increased thanks to improved materials and windings that were spec’d by MSD engineering.

The MSD 8231 Blaster OEM Replacement Ignition Coil is a premium, high-voltage upgrade engineered by MSD Performance to deliver superior spark energy, improved throttle response, and smooth power delivery for late-model GM vehicles.

Engineered for higher energy output resulting in quicker starting, improved idle quality, crisper throttle response and more high RPM power. Compatible with both original HEI ignition systems and later model computer controlled HEI systems. No need to remove or re-time distributor. Complete with simplified ground strap, mounting screws, silicone coil gasket and carbon contact brush / spring.

HEI owners now have a choice to replace their stock coil with the MSD High Energy Unitized Coil for GM HEI Distributors. This coil is a direct replacement of the stock coil and offers increased spark energy when used with the MSD HEI Module, PN 83647.

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.

Requires a 1.4 ohms Ballast resistor, Loom resistor or internally resisted coil.

The Mallory Promaster Classic series ignition coil is designed to meet today’s specialized ignition requirements. This coil features a faster rise time and increased spark duration (compared to stock) to increase performance. It has a glass-filled polyester case and oil-filled construction to ensure a long life and no energy loss from arcing. This coil also offers excellent wire retention with a spark plug type secondary post, and brass contact terminals.
