Every racer's toolbox should have an MSD Ignition
Tester. This handy tool allows you to check the entire
ignition system while it is in the car! Once the ignition
tests good, you can continue troubleshooting and find the
culprit. MSD has offered an Ignition Tester for several
years and for 2000 has upgraded it with a microprocessor
and several other new features. The Tester produces a
simulated trigger signal that fires the ignition just as
if the engine were running. A special, load producing
clip-on spark plug is included to connect to the coil
wire. If the spark is unable to jump the gap of the
tester, there is an ignition problem and you can trace it
down. For racers with our new Programmable 7 Ignition
Control that are using the Individual Cylinder Management
system, the Digital Tester has a circuit to check the
operation of the Cam Sync signal too. The Tester has an
LCD display that clearly shows the simulated rpm. This
also allows you to test the accuracy of any rpm limits,
rpm activated switches, shift light operation and your
tachometer. The Tester operates on 4, 6 or 8-cylinder
engines and will simulate up to 10,000 rpm.
