MSD Ignition Start Saver

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 1.5x 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 during cranking only. The retard is activated when the engine begins cranking and is deactivated once the engine reaches over 800 rpm. (If the engine rpm drops below 500 rpm it will activate again.)

The Starter Saver receives the trigger signal through an MSD Crank Trigger pickup or the Distributors magnetic pickup. This Control has a very accurate pickup compensation circuit resulting in rock steady timing throughout the entire rpm range of your engine. There is also an LED that illuminates with each trigger signal to confirm operation and the circuitry is completely potted in a polyurethane compound for extreme vibration resistance.Learn More

MSD Two Step Module Selector

The MSD Module Selectors allow you to choose two or three different rpm limits that can be activated at different times. With this ability, the possibilities are endless.

As an example, we'll use a drag car with a Three Step Module Selector plugged into the rpm socket of a 7AL-2 Ignition. The different rpm modules are activated when 12 volts is applied to a corresponding wire. By connecting one wire to the line-lock circuit, one module will be activated during the burnout. This helps keep tire temperatures consistent and when the line-lock button is released, the limit turns off. When you're on the starting line, you can activate the second limit through the clutch or trans switch. This provides you with a steady and consistent rpm for firm holeshots every time. When no modules are selected, the remaining high limit is active to protect the engine in the event of driveline failure. The Two Step works the same, but only with two different limits.

The Module Selectors can also be used with an MSD Timing Control. By plugging the Selector into a retard module socket, you can activate different retard amounts at select times. This is a great feature for engines being upgraded to a multi-stage nitrous system. With the addition of an RPM Activated Switch, you can use the Two Step to activate a shift light at different rpm.

The Module Selectors must be used with an MSD Soft Touch Rev Control or a Timing Controller with a high speed retard module. No rpm or retard modules are supplied.Learn More
