Adjustable Timing Control MSD8680
Perfect for street/strip cars, the dash- mounted control knob advances or retards ignition timing right from
the driver’s seat for increased performance, fuel economy, and detonation prevention. Must be
used with an MSD ignition control.
Digital Multi-Retard MSD8975
The Digital Multi-Retard provides
four different ignition retard
stages - without chips! Adjust-
able via rotary switches, retard
functions may be activated
together or separately. Particu-
larly useful for initiating timing retard during staged nitrous activation, high-speed retard, or start retard functions. Must be used with an MSD ignition control.
Three-Stage Retard Control
MSD8970
The Three-Stage Retard Control
retards ignition timing in three
different stages. It’s particularly
suited to multi-stage nitrous oxide systems. Connect the Three-Stage Retard to a nitrous system and every time a nitrous stage is activated, a different retard stage will take over. Program (with plug-in modules) the amount of timing retard needed to match the amount of nitrous used in each stage. Supplied with 2°, 3°, and 4° modules. Compatible with an MSD ignition control only.
Start and Step Retard Control MSD8987
Ideal for cars with locked-out ignition tim-
ing, control unit allows retarding timing 5°,
10°, 15°, or 20° during cranking for easier
starting. Digitally controlled unit also
includes a single stage of retard, which
may be used during nitrous activation or simply as a high- speed retard. Connects to magnetic pickups or points and is compatible with 4-, 6-, or 8- cylinder engines.
Retard Module Selector MSD8676
Allows selecting between 12 retard amounts (0°-11°) with the turn of a dial. Ideal for use with nitrous activation or with a high-speed retard.
Retard Module Kits
A full selection of retard module kits for MSD Timing Controls. Five per kit (except MSD8773).
Part No. Description
Connectors are unaffected by water,
chemicals, vibration, temperature, or dirt,
and will not come apart accidentally.
Connectors can withstand temperatures
from -40 to +257°F and are indexed to
prevent misfiring. May be separated by
hand or with a screwdriver when space
is tight. Each terminal has its own tower, eliminating shorts between the wires. Each connector half has a secondary lock that snaps over the terminal.

Starter Saver with Signal Stabilizer MSD8984
Specifically for V8's with MSD distributor, crank trigger, or other locked-out ignition systems, compact controller retards timing by 10° or 20° during engine cranking for easier starting.
Two-Pin Connector MSD8824
Simplifies replacement of damaged pins, connectors, shortening cables, or doing custom wiring. Metal pins have locking feature to prevent vibrating loose, and con- nectors have lock tabs for tight, vibration- proof connections. Includes two connec- tors and four pins.
