MSD 8159 Non-Magnetic Crank Trigger Pickup Non-Shielded 3/8"-24 x 1.5" 36" Harness

The MSD 8159 is a non-magnetic, non-shielded crank trigger pickup designed as a replacement for MSD Flying Magnet Crank Trigger Kits. Featuring a compact 3/8"-24 threaded housing at 1.5" in length, this pickup is also compatible with MSD sprint car crank trigger systems as well as aftermarket crank trigger kits from RCD and PSI. It ships with a 36-inch wiring harness and is sold individually.

MSD hand-builds these non-magnetic pickups with performance and durability in mind. Each unit is wound on proprietary bobbins and terminated to a tinned conductor with Teflon-jacketed wiring for superior heat and abrasion resistance. A strain relief fitting protects the wiring at the point where it exits the threaded housing. Once assembled, the entire unit is placed in a vacuum chamber and the windings are potted in a fracture-resistant epoxy compound to ensure reliable operation under extreme racing conditions.

Key Features:

• Non-magnetic pickup assembly — designed for use with MSD Flying Magnet Crank Trigger Kits, Pro Mag, and compatible aftermarket systems (RCD, PSI)
• 3/8"-24 thread x 1.5" length — compact housing for sprint car and compatible aftermarket crank trigger applications
• 36-inch non-shielded wiring harness — provides ample reach for most installations
