MSD builds the HVC II ignition coil entirely in-house, keeping full control over performance and quality. It uses an iron U-Core design with a segmented bobbin for improved voltage distribution, a Dupont Rynite FR946 bobbin for high-temperature dielectric strength, and an advanced winding material rated for extreme voltages, combining for strong voltage output, fast rise time, and long spark duration.
