msd crank trigger questions

Recommended Posts

When using the msd crank trigger distributor and magnetic pickup. What msd boxes can be used?

 

Can the 6al box be used, or do you have to use one of the 7al series boxes?

 

Are the crank trigger systems reliable for street/strip, use or should they be track only?

:confused:

The crank trigger itself will be fine for street use. Depending on whether you drive it as an all-weather car you may want to put a debris shield under the balancer. It will trigger any of the 6, 7, or 8 series MSD. The 7 and 8 are NOT suited for street duty, however. Drag race only. I would look into one of the units with a built in advance curve for street driving. The crank trigger with regular 6 series (T,A,AL,Offroad) will be at full advance always. MSD sells a book that shows how to wire up all of their CDI as well as some of the peripherals. Highly recommended for any MSD installation. I bought mine 15 years ago and still refer to it regularly.
