MSD

The MSD 5 is MSDs entry level multiple spark ignition control. This inductive discharge ignition is designed to be used on stock vehicles with no performance upgrades such as a cam, intake manifold, or carburetor. Below 3,000 rpm, the MSD produces a series of sparks instead of just one. This ensures that the fuel is burned completely which in turn provides more power, smooth idle, quick starts and overall drivability improvements. The MSD 5s powerful sparks are just the ticket to enhance the power of your foreign or domestic cars ignition output. The MSD 5 can be triggered using points or the electronic amplifier on late model vehicles.
