ok so Ive done the sohc/bp disty+coil swap and am now wrenching on a ms2 and after a few months of fighting the ms2 and trying to diagnose wiring problems it turns out the msd blaster 2 is a complete piece of s--- >:C. Ive been searching around trying to find something decent as far as an ignition coil gos but it seems like no one really has that department covered so i was wondering if anyone has some insight on any coils that would preform well and not crap out after a couple months :C.
i currently have a Mallory pro-master? coil on my 93 but the thing is as big as a cinder block so id like something more pliable. any info helps.

still no breakthrough information
i was thinking of getting another Mallory but its too bulky
msd doesn't work, the coils fail constantly
accel - nuff said
hypertech - lols
proform - lols again
moroso - seems to be the same quality of the msd
those are the only ones ive heard anything about

Re: aftermarket ignition
Try to draw up how you are wiring these failing MSD's in
and I'll correct it if it needs. If not still post it so I can see
what your doing.

Re: aftermarket ignition
12v on startup
6v running
its all wired up by relays and toggle switches
simply put the msd just fails
i used to work for a national auto parts chain and i would see a lot of them come back
i had a friend who purchased two in a row that were faulty ^_^
