    Suggestions for Crank trigger set up.

     



    Since this is my first time with a set up {Crank Trigger} like this, I would like some suggestions from folks that have run this type set up or have helped in setting this up before with some good results.
    This is for my 351 cleveland which will be turning around 8 grand.
    I want to use a 200 shot of nitrious with this set up. I need the entire Ignition set up. I know that some components are not compatable with the with the Crank Trigger set up.
    Thanks for any help.

    Get in any hot rod magazine and look up MSD. They make ALL the ignition systems you need. You can even retard the ignition timing (absolutely mandantory) when you hit the nitrous. Also buy the book, at any good book store, on nitrous systems. It's written by David Vizard. He's a friend of mine and knows everything about nitrous systems. I won't even install/tune a system unless the car owner reads the book.

    Ron Golden; I do know about MSD I just installed a MSD setup in our 72 Vette. What I'm talking about is a little more intense.
    As in self retarding for the nitrious, I was told by a couple of friends that they had seen a master mind box run with some MSD products. It's my under standing that MSD doesn't make any thing to automatically retard the timming for nitrious. Thanks for the come back.

    The MSD 3 step retard box number 8970 does that. I ran it on my car last year using 2 stages. In fact, I still have it and I'm not going to be using it this year. Do some more homework on the MSD website. They have exactly what you need.

    I may have mislead you. I am staying with MSD, I just switched from the 6AL box to the Programable Digital 7. It has everything built into it, plus it is so adjustable. Pt # 7530T Check it out.
