I know some of you guy have to be running crank trigger ignitions with RB setups. Can you post pictures and tell me what balancer you are running? I am getting ready to switch from the Throttle body EFI to multiport on mine and do a cam and crank trigger. I have the cam trigger part figured out.
 
I run a Fluid Damper with one. It lined up perfect.

Home made crank trigger

Here is my home-made crank trigger. The tooth wheel is the ring style from a British firm and welded to the standard pulley.
I'm running a damper from 440Source, just standard stuff. My crank trigger setup didn't cost much.

Buy an MSD and bolt it on... Only issue is the trigger will space out he crank pulley a little.
 
I have a fluid damper on mine. Here's what my setup looks like. I just don't see how I could bolt it up and run this dual serpentine pulley

Can you get me a couple more pics? Did you drill and tap the pulley to allow the trigger to bolt to it? What's the part number for your pulley?

The holes are already in the MSD wheel. It's only about a 1/4" thick. You could space your other items further out to fit. Or is there enough material at the back of your lower puley to remove the thickness of the trigger?
Or cut the back half of your lower pulley off (I'm assuming it's aluminum) and weld it to the MSD trigger wheel. Lots of options.

Looks like I would have to put a spacer behind the trigger wheel to get to flat at the front of the pulley. Then I could space out the accessories to work
