MSD 5520 Details
The Street Fire Capacitve Discharge Ignition is perfect for performance enthusiasts with a tight budget. The ignition offers capacitive discharge technology and will fire a series of multiple sparks that last for 20° of crankshaft rotation when the engine is running at lower rpm. This ensures combustion of the air/fuel mixture and produces great throttle response and smooth idle.
The CDI is built around a durable cast aluminum housing and easily connects to points, amplifiers and magnetic pickup distributors. An adjustable rev limiter will protect the engine in the event of driveline failure. This rpm is adjustable with rotary dials in 100 rpm increments. If you have a 4, 6 or 8-cylinder engine, the Street Fire CDI will connect and fire it up! Covered by CARB E.O. # D-40-43
Features:
- Capacitive discharge technology
- Multiple sparks improve starting and idle
- Full power output at high rpm
- Easily connects to points, amplifiers and magnetic pickup distributors
- Adjustable rev limiter for overrev protection

Love the rusty products is it work with easy hook up and I've never had one fail. And the exhaust kits are awesome with the mandrel bins. They make the job easy and they look nice when they're finished.

Had an old ProComp CDI installed, on a '53 flathead V8. Engine would start and run at idle but misfired with crazy spark timing on opening throttle. Performed multiple tests. Finally replaced with MSD unit and solved the problem.
