MSD Digital Controlled Multi-Retard - 8975

The digital multi-retard provides four different stages of retard along with an adjustable start retard feature, all of this with no modules. The MSD multi-retard uses a high speed RISC microcontroller to direct the timing functions. This controller can make extremely quick compensations to the timing while maintaining accuracy to within 1 degree. There is also an innovative magnetic pick-up compensation circuit built-in to allow for rock-steady timing with a variety of different mag pickups. There are four separate retard stages that can be activated independently or together for a total sum of retards. Each stage is adjustable from 0-9 degrees and a maximum of 20 degrees of retard can be pulled out. On top of these great features, there is also an optional start retard circuit that can be programmed to retard the timing 5, 10, 15 or 20 degrees during cranking. The digital multi-retard can be used on 4, 6 or 8 cylinder engines and must be used with an MSD ignition control.
