TECH TIPS
ROTOR TANG CONTACT
Make sure the rotor tang makes contact with the rotor bushing in the center of the cap. You can
slightly push or bend the tang up. Confirm contact by applying grease to the tang, install the cap,
then check for contact. (Remove grease before final assembly.)
SPARK GUARD
For improved protection against spark arc-through, apply a small amount of MSD Spark Guard, PN
8804, in the rotor tang well area (Figure 2). This is not necessary, but just added protection.
LOW RESISTANCE ROTOR BUSHING
If you are running an MSD Digital Series Ignition Control, a 7-Series Ignition Control, or the 20 Amp
Extreme HEI Module, the MSD Low Resistance Rotor Bushing, PN 8412, must be used. If a stock
rotor bushing is used damage will occur to the cap and rotor due to excessive heat build up caused
by the high resistance of the stock rotor bushing.
