MSD Ignition 8644 ignition crank trigger kit for the 1975-1976 Ford F-150 V8 5.9L or 6.4L, the 1975-1979 F-150 V8 7.5L, the 1977-1979 F-150 V8 6.6L, the 1977-1996 F-150 V8 5.8L and other vehicles times the ignition with four magnets that pass a stationary pick-up as the crankshaft turns.
Misfiring, hard starting or lost power may come from a faulty crank trigger signal. None of these proves the kit is the problem, since a fouled spark plug gives a similar result.
The kit suits Big Block Ford 429/460 engines and is used with MSD 6, 7 and 8 Series ignition. It also fits the 1977-1996 Ford F-250 V8 5.8L and the 1995 Ford Mustang V8 5.8L, and each takes one kit. If your truck, van or car is not named here, look it up in the "Vehicles it fits" section.
