E-Z Adjust Crank Trigger Kit,
PN 8605
Note: The E-Z Adjust Kit will fit most popular MSD Flying Magnet Crank Trigger Brackets. It will not
work with the PN 8600, 6.25” SB Chevy Kit or the PN 8630, Buick V6 kit.
The E-Z Adjust pro-
vides a precise way to
easily make incremen-
tal timing adjustments.
The kit is supplied with
two hex mounts, one
threaded, the other is
not. The location of the
mounts determines
whether the adjusting
screw will be accessible
from above or below
the vehicle. It will be
easier to remove the
pickup bracket assem-
bly from the engine to
install the Adjuster.
Also, determine if you
prefer to adjust the tim-
ing from above or be-
low. Figure 1 shows the
complete assembly
with the adjustment
made from above.
1. Assemble the adjusting screw by installing a washer, then running it through the unthreaded
hex mount. Install the other washer followed by the Nylok nut and run it up until the assembly
is snug.
2. Install the hex mount with the adjusting screw to the anchor plate using the Button Head Cap
Screw.
3. Remove the pickup holder and install the mounting plate.
4. Install the threaded hex mount to the end of the adjusting screw assembly. Secure the mount
to the mounting plate on the pickup holder with the Shoulder Screw.
5. Position the anchor plate to the crank trigger bracket. Its placement can be adjusted by mov-
ing adjusting screw. Once the placement is set, install the two set-screws to hold it in place.
Blue Loc-Tite is recommended on the set screws.
