How does MSD timing control work?
MSD Timing Controls are designed so engines with locked out timing or crank triggers can take advantage of an ignition curve. The weights and springs inside your existing distributor are removed and the mechanical advance is locked out so the timing is controlled entirely by the MSD Timing Control.
How do you adjust the timing on a MSD crank trigger?
The timing can be adjusted by sliding the pickup holder assembly up or down in the bracket slot. To retard the timing, move the pickup holder assembly in the direction that the crank trigger wheel rotates.
How do I know which ignition timing is best?
That is typically 15-35 degrees before TDC (top dead center) of the power stroke depending on the engine speed. Best power is achieved when ignition timing is set to fire the spark ahead of time to reach that peak pressure at about 2 degrees after TDC.
How do you set the timing on a distributor without timing light?
to set your base timing without a light, you just turn the motor over in it’s normal direction of rotation until the mark lines up with where you want it.. loosen up the distributor and hook up a spare spark plug to the #1 plug wire.. turn the distributor until it sparks.. tighten down the distributor..
