Ignition Timing Control - The dash mounted ignition timing control is the perfect complement to the knock sensor because it allows you to retard or advance the ignition timing without leaving your seat. Going over large hills is easy now. As you ascend the knock alert will indicate that the engine is knocking. You can simply reach over and retard the timing. After you reach the crest and descend the hill, you can advance your timing for more power and better fuel economy. MSD Timing Controls are designed so engines with locked out timing or crank triggers can take advantage of an ignition curve. The weights and springs inside your existing distributor are removed and the mechanical advance is locked out so the timing is controlled entirely by the MSD Timing Control. By controlling the ignition electronically, the timing curves can be set faster, more accurately, and with more adjustablility than mechanical advances. The Timing Controls provide reliable operation throughout the RPM range. MSD Adjustable Timing Control The MSD Adjustable Timing Control puts you in control of your ignition timing - from the drivers's seat! A dash mounted control knob allows you to adjust the ignition timing to compensate for changes in altitude, low octane gas, or heavy loads. For cars driven every day but raced occasionally on the weekends, this control is perfect. Increased fuel mileage and performance are just some of the benefits as the ignition timing can be advanced or retarded to prevent engine detonation. The control knob mounts to the dash board for easy and accurate timing adjustments up to 15°. The Control can be used on 4, 6 and 8-cylinder engines.
