Information on MSD Crank Trigger Kits





DESCRIPTION

MSD Holley part number: 8260 (BB Chevy)
Haltech does not sell this part.

This crank trigger has a reluctor 4x tooth trigger system. Together with a cam sync signal it provides information to the ECU necessary to support sequential injection control.  Being crank mounted it provides a much more accurate signal than a distributor based trigger system can.

When installing the kit for use with a Haltech ECU, the sensor should be located to give the most possible amount of ignition advance and then lock it down.




SETTINGS

The TDC Offset should be found by using a timing light.  A value of 40 will be close enough to allow most engines with this trigger system to fire up, but then it needs to be checked from there.
