application of cubic dollars....

I had a dizzy that was modified to work with MSD Blaster2 external coil which ended up being the cause of weak spark after going turbo. I finally ripped everything MSD out of my car and replaced it with OEM and the problem was fixed. Of course, there's the good possibility that the previous owner hacked the install job since there were some shoddy connections and exposed wires.

Do Not PM me your technical questions. Post them in the forum!

why?

Because the small stock coil inside the hot distributor is prone to failure and cracking, along with the ignitor.

Unfortunately, most of the aftermarket brands are poorly made. I suspect they've cheapened production since the time that they earned their reputation.

Converting to coil-on-plug would be ideal, but it wont net you any power, and it requires aftermarket engine management. Pretty much the only way you can justify the expense is if you have a high RPM, high compression build or some serious forced induction (or you're a nut like me).
