There system is about $200.00 more than MSD. I think the biggest problems with MSD is guys not putting the correct parts together. They do work but have failures. The only issues I have been through are burning the pile out of the cap (2 times) It's carbon. What dope thought this up instead of running metal??? I run .050" gap on plugs, 8mm plug wires with separators, HVC "e"coil. I zapped myself over the car a couple of times.  Taste like you are sucking on batterys for a couple of days and my hair is now silver.   I also don't like oil filled coils on the motor or a vibrating part of the car. It's not correct but mounted to the inside of the fender with a ground wire to the coil mount. having a good air flow around it also. Good luck Rick L. |
Why ground the coil mount? I've just installed my MSD Blaster coil on the fiberglass firewall/bulkhead and I did not run a seperate ground to the coil mount. How important is this ground and what is the purpose of it?
Would much appreciate the advice as I'm in the process of finishing my wiring harness and all connections.
Thanks, Arthur
