The MSD 8 Ignition Control is powerful enough to burn any exotic fuel mixture even in engines with massive compression ratios. The ignition produces extremely high energy sparks combined with a long duration spark series below 3,000 rpm. A Coil Coupler is built-in to increase spark duration and protect the ignition against voltage spikes.
To protect the engine from overrev damage the MSD Engine Saver, PN 8978, can be installed. It provides two adjustable rpm limits and installs with a special Weathertight Connector. Vibration shock mounts are supplied along with a separate current filter to prevent interference from other electronic controls on the car.
