PART NO. 5462
BOOST TIMING MASTER, PN 5462
The Universal Boost Timing Master, PN 5462, is a Timing Control and ignition enhancer in-one. It allows you to
adjust the timing up to 15° as the boost pressure of the turbo or supercharger increases. It also increases the stock
inductive ignition spark energy and voltage creating a powerful spark to completely ignite the fuel mixture. The
Universal BTM connects to most single coil factory and aftermarket ignition amplifiers and points style distributors.
It can also be used as a stand alone ignition with an MSD Distributor.
Wire F unctions
Black and Gray: These wires are routed together into a Weathertight Connector to hook to the
Adjustable Timing Control Knob.
Orange: Connects to the coil negative (-) terminal.
Red: Connects to the original switched 12 volt wire that used to connect to the coil
positive (+) terminal. With the BTM, the wires hook together, but not on the coil
terminal.
Black: Connects to engine or chassis ground.
Violet: The supplied violet jumper connects from the battery positive (+) terminal to
the coil (+) terminal.
White: This is the trigger signal wire and connects to the points or electronic ignition trigger
wire.
MAGNETIC CONNECTOR: This connector is used when triggering the ignition from a magnetic pickup.
Violet: Magnetic pickup positive (+).
Green: Magnetic pickup negative (-).
Note: If you are already using an MSD 6, 7, 8, or 10 Ignition Control, use BTM, PN 8762 (See page 92).
