MSD flying crank trigger

[396_WAYS_TO_SPIT]

Pros and cons? I know that you get consistant timing but are they worth it? Are they plug and play with a msd distributor p/n 85551?

Only if you're white.
But you might be in luck since you're half...

Your application not worth it.

I've got all that shiz on my two boats. Works bitchen and fires up AS SOON AS I hit the button.
I smile everytime. Hell i am smiling right now just thinking of what it sounds like.
Might not be worth it in some applications, but sometimes you just gotta run with the big dogs.

You do have to get a timing computer and lock out the advance curve of the distributor as the distributor becomes EXACTLY that, it's only job now is to conduct spark to each plug.

What MSD box do you have, or are you planning on buying one? If you are running a standard 6a, or 6al box then run the distributor. That way you can have an advance curve in the distributor to make startup a little easier. If you are going with a complete programmable box then going with the crank trigger is not a bad idea.
If I were in your shoes I would not run the crank trigger and just go with the distributor. Just my two pesos (because heaven knows my thoughts are not worth two cents).

Crank trigger not necessary in his application. but he might as well lock out the distributor because his boat will accelerate to full throttle faster than the advance mechanism will.
-mikey...crank trigger is way easy to make timing adjustments with and perhaps is more reliable and exacting..but its not necessary. the distributor will work fine on its own.
