A maintenance-free magnetic pickup and precision reluctor trigger the built-in module, which produces a high-output spark that MSD states improves combustion for quick starts, a smooth idle, and strong performance. Beneath the race rotor sits a mechanical advance assembly, so the timing curve can be tailored to your application.
