Pickup Assy. Hall Effect 3/4-16 UNF

The Pickup Assy. Hall Effect 3/4-16 UNF from MSD Ignition is a precision crank trigger pickup designed for high-performance and race engine ignition systems. This magnetic hall effect sensor serves as the critical timing input device in programmable and adjustable ignition controllers, delivering reliable engine speed and position data to your ignition module. Law enforcement and military personnel working with specialized vehicles, as well as performance enthusiasts and engine builders, rely on hall effect pickups for consistent cold-start reliability and precise spark timing across varying engine loads and RPM ranges.

Hall effect technology eliminates the mechanical wear issues found in traditional points-style pickups by using a solid-state magnetic sensor with no moving contacts. The 3/4-16 UNF threaded mounting design provides a secure, industry-standard installation point on compatible engine blocks or timing covers, while the compact 6.05 x 1.5 x 7.85-inch form factor allows integration into tight engine bay configurations. This sensor generates a clean digital signal proportional to crankshaft rotation, enabling advanced ignition timing curves and eliminating the dead zones that plague older contact-type systems. Weighing just 0.33 lbs, the assembly adds minimal rotating mass without compromising durability in high-vibration environments.

Engine builders and tuners installing MSD programmable ignition systems will find this pickup essential for applications demanding repeatable ignition timing and RPM-sensitive spark advance control. The hall effect design operates effectively across extreme temperature swings and resists electromagnetic interference common in racing and tactical vehicle environments. Proper installation requires confirming 3/4-16 UNF thread compatibility with your engine's pickup mounting location and verifying sensor air gap per your ignition controller's specifications; consult your MSD ignition system documentation for precise gap settings and wiring harness connections to ensure optimal timing stability and drivability.
