Is a mag the only legal style ignition system that can be used on a light super stock tractor or can a coil on plug system be used instead?

Thanks

msd 8 ignition will work fine also

Coil on plug is legal as well, people will bash the hell out of it though. Unless you run with the outlaws, then you are not allowed technology older than 1910 or newer than about 1970 as mags and multiple coil ignitions are illegal.

I suppose people can bash coil on plug all they want. But it is simpler, more reliable, and cheaper and would be my preferred way to go over a mg if it is indeed legal.

The ignition would be legal, but is what is triggering it legal? All of the high power c.o.p. ignition boxes such as msd's new one and MW out of Australia need somebody ecu to trigger it. So the question is if you used megasquirt,holley,haltech, but did not use a map sensor to change timing by load and timing was fixed is it legal?

It can be done with a mag as well so what's your point.

My point is what is considered electronic control? The capability of a set of components?
Or is it OK if you have them but do not use them in that way? If electronic control is illegal and a ecu is defined as something that receives an input and delivers a output,then is a msd 8 box receiving a signal from a crank trigger and then delivering a high output electrical charge a computer or a electronic control?

Based on your posts you believe a pro mag 44 should be illegal. So instead of just asking a bunch of bogus questions why not recommend a system you believe to be legal.

No I guess i have been misunderstood and I apologize. I do not think a pro mag or msd box is or should be illegal. I would like to run a cop ignition but I ask the question and always get the answer that it probably would not be legal because it would have somebodies engine management ecu to trigger or control it, and that would be considered having an engine with electronic controls. But I say what if timing is not changed going down the track would it still be illegal? As for what I personally would run, MW pro drag 6 with ms3 pro ecu triggering the cdi box that will also do all data logging and connect to a racepak dash. Just my opinion, lots of options.

Both pro mag and msd use a electrical box for control so im not sure where the difference is to a cop system. Depending on the system all three can be changed going down the track or not changed if setup for it. I suppose I will move forward. It's not like ppl will give an answer to anybody about any of their rules. Just show up and say some big name shop did the system and they will look the other way.

I still don't understand why tractor pulling is stuck so far in the past. I really enjoy the lss class for the power and weight. But most of the time the class can disappoint with part of the tractors missing the tuning. Newer technology could eliminate this and make the show even better.

To lss now you understand what i was trying to explain, I feel the same way you do about the motor sport i love.
