Flying magent crank trigger
Has anyone used this? I don't really like a MSD pro billet dizzy and want to see if people are running this and would recommend it.

Re: Flying magent crank trigger
Not recommended for a street car unless you're willing to do modifications. It's also used with a locked out distributor that needs to be phased. You still need a distributor to get the spark to the plugs. It's just not used as the magnetic pickup to collapse the field for the coil.
The crank wheel fits behind your crankshaft pulley so your belt will be out of alignment for all your accessories.
I use a crank trigger on my race car. Timing marks are rock solid with a timing light. My distributor is locked out so there's no timing advance.
The advantage of a crank trigger is stable timing. There's always unnecessary movement in the timing chain, camshaft and distributor shaft that will cause timing to fluctuate. When taking the timing off the crank, there's no variables.

I am in the process of installing the annihilator ignition box. I will remove the ICM and just use the magnetic pickup inside my HEI distributor. Mostly just used for cruising and from what I have read it should work fine.

Don't want to add more variables to mounting the f1 and brackets. I will stick with the dizzy I guess.
