BLASTER SERIES SERIES SERIES
* The factory coil from any vehicle that has a 12 volt negative ground electrical system and has a ballast resistor or
resistance wiring in the original ignition key wire will work with the MSD.
NOTE: For MSD 8-Series Ignitions use Pro Power Coil, P N 8201, Pro Power HVC, 8251, or Pro Power HVC II, PN 8261.
HELPFUL COIL INFORMATION
A ballast resistor is not necessary with any MSD Series Ignition but can be left in-line if originally equipped.
The MSD Blaster Coils and any other oil-filled, canister style coils should be mounted so that the high voltage coil
tower is pointed upward. Also, mount the coil so the coil wire is as short as possible to keep resistance low.
Use of any coil that is not compatible may damage the MSD and void the warranty.
Caution: Coils that have an internal power transistor are NOT compatible with MSD Ignition Controls. These are gener-
ally found on late model DIS or coil-per-cylinder ignitions. Check with MSD if you have any questions before
installing an MSD Ignition Control.
