Anybody running MSD 8.5 mm superconducters?

93GTDIN · 10-26-2003, 05:27 PM

I just put these on my car to sniff out a high RPM spark blowout problem. They work great except *sometimes* I get a miss around 2000 RPM's. I did not have this problem before on my old, stock cobra wires. I was thinking maybe the stock coils dont work well with low resistance wires?
Having said that, my ?'s are:

A) Anybody running /run these wires on stock coils? Does it work, or did you have to upgrade coils?

B) Any idea what else might be causing this problem? I checked all the wires 4 times, they're snug down, so I dont think that's the issue.

I'd say there's something going on with your coil packs instead of the wires themselves...

Spark blowout on a mildly modded engine is very rarely a problem with the wires (unless they are damaged).

I'd have your coil packs checked....

sounds like a splendid idea. How does one check coil packs?
