Flying Magnet Crank Trigger Kits
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
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 pickup, triggering the ignition. This pickup can be triggered
by other bolts, debris or even vibrations which will cause a loss of
power or engine damage. The MSD Flying Magnet Crank Trigger uses four
magnets secured in the aluminum trigger wheel that pass by a stationary
non-magnetic pickup to trigger the ignition. This "flying magnet"
design produces accurate trigger signals and the non-magnetic pickup
cannot be false triggered.
Each
Flying Magnet Crank Trigger includes a two-piece mounting bracket for
the non-magnetic pickup 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 CNC-machined aluminum bracket securely
holds the pickup in place and is slotted to provide a wide range of
timing adjustment. Spacers are included so you can mount the bracket
on engines with standard motor mounts or engines with a ¼"
motor plate. These systems will trigger MSD 6, 7, 8 and 10 Series Ignitions
and all MSD Timing Accessories.
| Flying
Magnet Design Prevents False Triggers |
| The
Flying Magnet Crank Trigger is named for the four magnets that are
embedded in the aluminum wheel. As the engine is rotating, these
magnets move past the stationary non-magnetic pickup, creating the
trigger signal for the ignition. This design eliminates false triggering
because only the moving magnets can trigger the pickup and ignition
control. |
