A crank trigger will give you more accurate timing. This generally doesn't matter at hydraulic-cam type RPMs, so there is no benefit over a good distributor (assuming your gears aren't worn and sloppy, which they aren't). At much higher RPMs, though, accuracy is paramount, and that's where a crank trigger will give you the edge. Now quit thinking about a crank trigger; you don't have one, nor do you need one.  |
