Chevy V8 Crank Trigger Distributor w/Crab Cap

The Chevy V8 Crank Trigger Distributor with Crab Cap from MSD Ignition is designed for serious engine builders and performance enthusiasts who require precise ignition timing control. This specialized distributor replaces traditional magnetic pickup designs with a crank-trigger system, addressing common issues like timing drift and ignition variance.

The crank-trigger design samples ignition events directly from engine rotation, ensuring accurate timing across the RPM range. The Crab Cap rotor design enhances spark distribution efficiency and minimizes crossfire, which is crucial for high-horsepower applications. This distributor is built for street, strip, and road-race applications, integrating seamlessly into custom Chevy V8 builds.

Ideal for LS-swapped hot rods, big-block restorations, and competition carbureted engines, this distributor works well with MSD CDI boxes and programmable ignition modules. Its design allows for easy installation while maintaining serviceability and plug-wire accessibility in tight engine bays.
