Detailed Description
Ignition Crankshaft Trigger Kit;
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.
- 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
- Kits feature special brackets and mounting hardware for a variety of engines
