Timing Controls

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 ..

The Boost Timing Masters allow you to adjust the amount of ignition retard from 1° per pound of boost to 3° per pound via a control knob that you mount on the dashboard. This way you can make adjustments on the fly to prevent detonation as fuel quality or altitude and air quality changes up to a maximum of 15° retard. You can also set a boost pressure point to start the retard. There is a boost pr..

The Three Stage Retard Control allows you to retard your ignition timing in three different stages. You can activate one retard for a nitrous stage and another at top end in high gear for more mph and still have another module left over for dual stage nitrous systems. When activated together, the retard amounts are cumulative so you get the total of the three. For example, if you pull 2°, then 4° ..

The Digital Multi-Retard provides four different stages of retard along with an adjustable start retard feature - all of this with no modules! The MSD Multi-Retard uses a high speed RISC microcontroller to direct the timing functions. This controller can make ex­tremely quick compensations to the timing while maintaining accuracy to within 1°. There is also an innovative Magnetic Pick-Up Compensa..

When you install a crank trigger system, having locked out timing may put a strain on the starter and flywheel. This compact controller provides a retard that automatically retards the timing during cranking to ease the pressure. The MSD Starter Saver measures only 1.5" X 3.5" X 2" and wires into your ignition system with only four wires. It can be programmed to retard the tim­ing 10° or 20° durin..

This digitally controlled accessory allows you to select a 5°, 10°, 15° or 20° of retard while the engine is cranking. By pulling the timing back during cranking the pressure being applied to the starter, flywheel and the rotating assembly of the engine is lessened so the engine will start easier. Once the engine starts or when the key is released the timing returns to the set mechanical amount. ..
