Been looking at different distributors and just looked at an msd crank trigger for small block. What are the pros and cons of a crank trigger for street strip duty? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aIxaesJ190U http://youtu.be/lCZAaN7fFLg

First question i have is what Brand blancer do you have and bolting the crank trigger is pretty easy. mopar65 3520 pound race ready 1973 Street/Strip Dodge Dart - Stock stroke 440/727 10.49 @ 125.0 on 93 pump gas & ET Street Radials.

Does it have a flat face or does it have a recess wear the pulley bolts on? i ask this because i had the new stile fluid dampener that the Mounting face for the pulley was recessed in. I was trying to use a MSD crank trigger and it would not work.I had to have a spacer made that would support the center of the crank trigger. mopar65 3520 pound race ready 1973 Street/Strip Dodge Dart - Stock stroke 440/727 10.49 @ 125.0 on 93 pump gas & ET Street Radials.

Yes I did...we had the above ground Dynojet....so the cars were up in the air on the lift. The rings would come off and fly around the shop....kinda like the old video game "pong"!
