GMR PICKUP INSTALLATION
The MSD GMR pickup can be used with in-
ductive or capacitive ignition types to provide
an rpm signal of 30% duration when the igni-
tion coil fires. Two washers are provided with
the pickup and must be installed in one of two
positions depending on the type of ignition
driving the coil. For late model applications, it
is recommended to have a wiring schematic
of the vehicle’s ignition system. On some
motorcycle and ATV applications, the stock
coils do not produce a long enough pulse. In these cases, loop the coil wire through the GMR
pickup twice (Figure 4).
