The fully programmable, four-stage, solid-state Power Grid power module from MSD Performance can wrangle up to 20 amps of current per channel, eliminating the need for fuses, timers, and electromechanical relays.

Users can control output independently or simultaneously, with available digital or pulse width modulated output flexibility and programmable frequencies up to 19 kHZ. A high-speed data logger can be used to record all functions, while outputs can be configured to use time, RPM, or temperature to control nitrous systems, pumps, fans, and more.

MSD’s Power Grid power module is available in red (7764) or black (77643).

Features

  • Replaces up to 4 electromechanical relays.
  • Overcurrent protection eliminates the need for fuses.
  • 80-amp capacity (4 channels rated up to 20 amps each).
  • Channels controlled via input wires or as programmed in the MSDView software.
  • Can be used alone or with MSD Power Grid (7730, which also enables data acquisition).
  • Trigger signals can include power, ground, temperature, or time.
  • Available in red (7764) or black (77643).

New as of March is the 8362CT Circle Track HEI Distributor from MSD Performance, which provides brute strength and precision timing from idle to maximum RPM. It features a bulletproof ignition module that fires a high-output coil in the cap while a specially designed QPQ-coated chrome-moly advance cam and weight set ride on TIG-welded weight-plate pins and distributor shaft. Also QPQ coated, the steel gear is built to run race after race without fatigue.

MSD created this piece to be “stock appearing” in order to meet sanctioning-body HEI distributor rules.

Features

  • “Stock appearing” to meet sanctioning body HEI distributor rules.
  • TIG-welded shaft and weight plate pins for strength and durability.
  • Easily lock-out timing advance with supplied timing lock-out cam.
  • Reliable ignition module.
  • High-output ignition coil for peak spark energy at any RPM.
  • High-quality, QPQ-coated distributor gear, advance cam, and weights.
  • Pairs perfectly with MSD 8727CT HEI Circle Track RPM Control (sold separately).

MSD Performance’s Ford big block billet distributor* now comes with a steel gear installed for specific camshaft requirements.

The 85801 features stainless steel terminals and an easily adjustable mechanical advance assembly that has been fine blanked from chrome-moly steel, TIG welded for strength, and QPQ coated. Precision weights glide on nylon bushings for a smooth advancement, and stop bushings and springs allow for a variety of advance curves.

MSD’s maintenance-free and race-proven magnetic pick-up handles triggering chores.

Note: Must be used with an MSD ignition control.

*Will not clear some factory-style Shaker hood scoops.

Features

  • CNC-machined billet aluminum housing and DuPont Rynite base.
  • Preinstalled with quality steel gear.
  • Supplied Cap-A-Dapt and rotor (accepts MSD socket-style caps).
  • Mechanical advance assembly can be locked out for crank trigger systems.
  • Nylon pads ensure smooth advance weight operation.
  • Advance weight pins are staked and TIG welded to the plate.
  • Advance plate/weights are fine blanked from chrome-moly steel and QPQ coated for friction reduction.

Coming soon from MSD Performance is the 6CT: the most advanced ignition control ever to hit a circle track. The 6427 is packed with features, including a large digital LED display that makes it easier than ever to see the rev limiter setting (adjustable via laser-etched rotary dials).

Speaking of, the microprocessor-controlled rev limiting is so smooth, your chassis will virtually be undisturbed when charging into turns. The rotary dials let you select for 4-, 6-, and 8-cylinder engines and achieve 0⁰, 10⁰, or 20⁰ timing retard for quick starts. Plus, the LED display can be used as a live tach or to display your car’s battery voltage. MSD also designed the unit to record the highest RPM your engine turned during the race. The 6CT offers all this and more in a fully potted, tamper-proof housing that uses a single connector to keep wiring tidy.

Features

  • Works with 4-, 6-, and 8-cylinder engines.
  • Large, easy-to-read LED display.
  • Check rev limit, highest RPM, cylinder select, battery voltage, start retard, and tach mode.
  • Start retard is adjustable in 0⁰, 10⁰, and 20⁰
  • Full delivery of spark energy down to 6V battery supply.
  • Efficient, low-current draw extends battery life.
  • Fully potted housing stands up to demanding race conditions.
  • Single plug-in connector for clean wiring.
  • Tamper-proof screws prevent unit modification.
  • Reverse polarity and overheat protection.

MSD (2700): Atomic AirForce Manifold for 2014-2015 Chevrolet Corvette LT1

John Arnaud Leave a comment

If you’re looking for bolt-on power and torque for your new LT1, the new Atomic AirForce intake manifold from MSD is the answer! This all-new polymer intake will increase the performance of stock and modified versions of the Direct-Injected LT1 engine.

MSD initiated the clean-sheet AirForce design by addressing the performance shortcomings of the OEM manifold. Through the use of Computational Fluid Dynamic modeling, MSD was able to optimize the plenum volume and improve runner layout. Unique bell-mouthed runner openings, optimum runner length, and minimal shrouding ensure maximum airflow and cylinder-to-cylinder balance.

The LT1 intake is a two-piece molded design that allows for porting and runner modification, while the polymer construction minimizes weight and heat absorption. MSD also made it easy to accommodate power adders by equipping the AirForce LT1 manifold with integral port fuel injection bosses at the base of each runner.

The AirForce LT1 intake accepts an OEM electronic throttle body as well as aftermarket electronic throttles up to 105 mm.

One good M deserves another.

Following the January 2015 acquisition of ACCEL Performance Group (maker of Mallory Ignition, Mr. Gasket, Hays, QuickTime, and others) by MSD Performance, the MSDP Group completed the planned merger of the Mallory and MSD lines to create the top ignition company in the automotive aftermarket.

As of March 31, the Mallory product line will no longer be produced; all Mallory products will be manufactured exclusively under the MSD brand. MSD will, however, continue to produce and service Mallory distributor replacement parts such as points, rotors, caps, and more than one hundred other items. In addition, MSD will continue repairing Mallory products and honoring all original Mallory warranties. Retailers, installers, and customers should direct Mallory warranty inquiries to MSD’s toll-free number: (800) 246-0270.

Mallory and MSD together bring more than a century of ignition innovation and expertise. The MSDP Group remains committed to leveraging the two brands’ combined resources to keep igniting their loyal customers.
