MSD Crank Trigger install on a 400 SBC 

Only thing I just realized I left out was the mounting side matters. The trigger must use the arrow that indicate the correct rotation of the motor. "Cheers" 🍻

awesome, you are right! that timing looked rock solid!

Great video. I always wondered how a crank trigger worked and what it was like to install one. Thanks for sharing!

It's nice to see video on how this works, I've been curious for a while

I have never seen timing that stable on an old school motor, that is awesome!!

Awsome video on explaining,always curious.Great job on the grounds 👍.Loving that steady time geeez.

Solid video bud!!! 💪😎👍 I always like how you explain stuff awesome thanks 🙏

Glad I found your channel! Love watching people tune stuff like this and explain things. By the way, that S10 is very cool! That said, I'm curious about the comment that the crank trigger could shock someone. Does MSD describe how is the sensor supposed to shock someone? It's just a proximity switch or sensor really. The only field that exists is very small and surrounds the magnets.....which the sensor is picking up for timing purposes. If this type of setup were somehow capable of inducing a massive field (and potential energy) by spinning past the sensor, I don't think it would work at all. The sensor would essentially be locked "on" and not give a timing signal reference to the ignition box. Just curious really.....keep posting the videos!!

Great explanation... this should really help

Excellent work dear friend

Yes Sir Like It Should Be... Rock ON The Mark No Miss There

Now all you need is a magneto distributor for self spark an added power along with a wet belt drive instead of timing gears for maximum performance! Oh and a set of spread port Brodix cylinder heads. With all these things mentioned above👆 you'll be maxed out unless you go blown alcohol!

Hello so basically if you phazed the rotor when on 38° , point sensor to arrow on trigger, & pointer on balancer @ 38 ° you should be perfect?? If you want to change peak timing you must do it all over again correct? Not just move sensor to pointer? Thanks again great stuff sir 👍🙏

Good job. #!!!

Freaking awesome!

It appears that the alternator is slightly crooked.

The bigger rotor gap also over taxes the coil. And this is great, but now there is no timing advance/retard for street driving. Locked advance is a negative on a street car, or a street/strip car..

Do u take the wire out of the distributor that use to go to MSD BOX or you just leave everything in the distributor???

I'm curious where you mounted the sensor, ie, what did you bolt it too?

I believe your video answered my question I've been looking for, a very long time now. I could not find the answer to this anywhere. I have basically the same setup. MSD Box, Trigger wheel, stock distributor, which is gutted. My question: *How is advanced timing (curve) dealt with when using a trigger wheel?* >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> *There is NO advanced timing curve!!*

You had the alignment wrong on the holes. You shouldnt have to drill any extra holes.

Damm have to take away your man card for wasting beet

These are so over priced for what they are !

To complicated. I'm out

What a waste of money
