well, i'll start off by saying you only need one.

MSD and ACCEL are the most popular

I have a MSD blaster coil. Deffinately worth it. It also gives you the opportunity to widen the spark plug gap a bit.

Wouldn't want any other!

I had an MSD Blaster, it went out on me on the highway recently. Thank the maker i had the foresight to leave my oem coil in place. Just switched wires and drove home. Threw the old one in the trash.

I also had an MSD ignition which went out on me just a month before the coil. I will never buy another MSD product. Ignition was less than a year old. The coil went just over a year.

Same here, I bought a MSD Blaster and the SOB caused misfires and idle warble. DON'T buy the MSD 8228, it sucks

Got the MSD 8228 and haven't had a problem. But also didn't see any difference. But didn't expect one.

I guess there's good and bad with all products but the MSD Blaster works good for me and I haven't had any problems. The ignition box they sell was a different story. It kept trying to advance the timing and conflict with the Jet chip.

Wouldn't want any other!

stealwings,

how did it try to advance the timing?


btw, i have been running the MSD 6a, Blaster 3 coil and 8.5 mm wires for over two years now... no problems so far (except many toasted rotors and caps)
