Yo 55312,

My 6AL/Blaster2/MSD distributor combo ran fine for 11,800 miles.

That's how long a Blaster 2 coil lasts when bolted to my intake manifold. My car stopped completely after a few hiccupy episodes.

My coil passed MSD's test. Ohms were OK and it made a spark. It was bad anyway. Replaced it and the problem was totally solved.

Point is, if you can easily swap in a new coil to check this, it may be worthwhile.

Turns out the oil-filled coils don't like heavy, continuous vibration. I have a "Vibration-Proof" MSD Blaster coil in there now. We'll see

If this doesn't work, RICK LAKE has a real good pair of suggestions for the next two substitutions to try.

Let us know how you make out!
