MSD distributor guru

Yup, that is the way a crank trigger works, for locked out mechanical distributors, WHEN THEY ARE USED WITH AN ELECTRONIC TIMING CONTROL BOX.

Crank triggers ARE NOT used with mechanical advance curves inside the distributor.

So, full race, crank trigger, it is obvious common sense, the ignition system is using a closed circuit electronic curve, inside an ignition box, not a mechanical curve inside the distributor.

As stated, this IS a "full race setup".
