MSD
What do a couple of missile engineers have in common with Corvettes? Well, it was a team of engineers from the White Sands Missile Range who founded MSD in 1970. As they were creating a lean-burn fuel system, they stumbled upon a new type of ignition system which could spark multiple times. Combined with the then-new technology of Capacitive Discharge, MSD found a potent new ignition system for cars. Most efficient when coupled with lean fuels, racers quickly picked up the technology and the legend of MSD was born. No matter whether your Corvette lives on the street or the track, Zip’s collection of MSD Ignition products can help your Corvette perform better and run smoother.
