Hall Effect Pickup w/LED Indicator

The MSD IGNITION Hall Effect Pickup with LED Indicator (MSD2348) is a precision magnetic sensor designed for high-performance ignition systems and engine control applications. This component serves as the core trigger element in distributor-based and stand-alone ignition systems, reading crankshaft or camshaft rotation to deliver accurate timing signals to your ignition module or engine computer. Whether you're tuning a classic carbureted engine or upgrading a street machine, this Hall Effect pickup ensures consistent spark delivery across the entire RPM range.

Hall Effect sensors work by detecting changes in a magnetic field as a rotating reluctor ring or trigger wheel passes through the sensor's detection zone. Unlike older points-and-condenser systems, this solid-state design eliminates mechanical wear, contact bounce, and dwell inconsistencies, delivering cleaner, more repeatable signal output to your ignition controller. The integrated LED indicator provides real-time diagnostic feedback—a pulsing light confirms proper sensor function and signal generation, making troubleshooting and installation verification straightforward without requiring external test equipment.

Enthusiasts upgrading to MSD ignition systems will find this component beneficial for retrofitting older distributors or enhancing performance fuel-injection setups. Its compact form factor fits into tight engine bay spaces while maintaining robust electrical shielding and temperature stability. This ensures that you can rely on the Hall Effect Pickup for consistent performance in various applications.
