About this Manufacturer:
It always impresses us when a company is able to effectively solve a technical barrier, and in the process ends up creating something that not only works, but solves other problems as well. MSD Ignition was developed to solve a weak spark condition that presented itself when Autotronic Controls Corporation (MSD's parent company) invented the lean-burning Electrasonic Fuel Induction system, which was designed to improve fuel economy. With the MSD unit's capacitive discharge design firing off multiple sparks during combustion (MSD stands for "Multiple Spark Discharge," by the way), not only was the lean air/fuel mixture able to ignite, but it also improved starting and idle, and it also created more power with fewer emissions. Today, MSD Ignition is considered the undisputed leader in the field of performance ignition parts, and offers everything from individual ignition components to complete systems.


 Frequently Asked Questions

What is an ignition module? Why buy one?
According to About.com, "An ignition module is the electronic control for the ignition system. The module receives a signal from a magnetic pickup or sensor in the distributor. The module uses this signal to open and close the ground circuit to the ignition coil to fire the spark plugs. The ignition module itself may be located inside the distributor, on the distributor housing, or in the engine compartment. Aftermarket performance ignition modules also control timing advance and retard, which can have an impact on your car's performance. Two more great features in some modules are the rev limits! There are two rev limiters on your car: one for high end over-rev protection and another you can activate off a clutch or transbrake to set a launch limit. This ability to adjust the rev limits will help your car blast off the starting line.
