MSD 5 Ignition,
PN 5200

The MSD 5 is our entry level multiple spark ignition control. This inductive discharge ignition is designed to be used on stock vehicles with no performance upgrades such as a cam, intake manifold, or carburetor.
Below 3,000 rpm, the MSD produces a series of sparks instead of just one. This ensures that the fuel is burned completely which in turn provides more power, smooth idle, quick starts and overall driveability improvements.
The MSD 5's powerful sparks are just the ticket to enhance the power of your foreign or domestic car's ignition output. The MSD 5 can be triggered using points or the electronic amplifier on late model vehicles.

NOTE: Not for use with magnetic pickup distributors or distributorless systems. Not recommended for General Motors HEI ignition systems.
