You can get the adapter plugs from MSD if you use
your stock coil.

All you need to use is the 2 existing coil wires,
1 signal - and on off +
12 volt and ground.

Easy to install

MSD SS Blaster but if you use a hot coil get some
good wires the stock wires wont last long they
like to burn off near the connectors especially
the coil wire.

Stock coil plug gap + .005 regular plug
MSD start out at .050 and see what the plugs look
like if running hot (white) open the gap you can
play with the gap untill your plugs are a nice
tan color (as MSD recomends)

On my AP3923 platnium tip I am running .060
and nice tan color

You will notice a stronger low end,

What plugs are you running you will need to open
them up or they will run hot with the setup.

I would start at .050 run it a hundred miles or
so and see what they look like. on reg plugs

If you run the AP with the platinum tip you can
run between .055 .060 bigger flame front that is
what I am doing and it runs great

I tried the reg 3923 at .055 .060 and it runs way

to hot so I put the AP back in, it makes a
noticeable differance.

.045 .050 is max on a reg plug with MSD
