Msd Magnetic Pick-Up

The MSD Magnetic Pick-Up is a precision ignition sensor engineered for MSD Pro-Billet distributor systems, delivering reliable RPM signal generation to high-performance ignition controllers. Designed for street, strip, and race applications, this magnetic pick-up assembly converts distributor shaft rotation into clean digital signals that trigger spark events with consistent timing accuracy. Whether you're running a carbureted engine, fuel injection, or forced induction setup, this component ensures your MSD ignition system maintains precise spark delivery across the entire RPM range.

This magnetic pick-up features a dual-pin connector interface that integrates seamlessly with MSD Pro-Billet distributor housings and associated ignition modules. The sensor's magnetic design eliminates the wear associated with traditional contact-point systems, providing repeatable signal output with zero drift across thousands of engine cycles. The compact form factor—measuring 6.1 x 1.55 x 7.8 inches—mounts cleanly within the distributor housing without requiring external wiring runs or secondary sensor brackets. Its lightweight construction at 0.29 lbs adds negligible mass while the robust magnetic sensing element withstands high-temperature engine bay environments and electromagnetic interference from modern vehicle electrical systems.

This pick-up assembly benefits engine builders, hot rod enthusiasts, and professional tuners seeking bulletproof ignition reliability in demanding applications. It's ideal for custom carbureted builds, vintage muscle car restorations, and competition engines where ignition timing stability directly impacts power output and repeatability. Installation requires removal of the distributor cap and rotor to access the internal mounting location; the two-pin connector plugs directly into MSD Pro-Billet distributor wiring harnesses. Proper gap adjustment during installation ensures optimal signal strength, and compatibility extends across all MSD ignition controllers designed to work with magnetic pick-up sensors.
