What Coil should I get?

Chipdog · 06-12-2002, 09:19 PM

I am running a MSD 6A and was wondering what coil I should get. I will be installing a cleaned up set of GT-40 heads and a Perfomer Intake.
Thanks
Chip

It doesn't really matter, but I like the MSD Blaster TFI coil (part #8227). It claims to disperse a little more output voltage. Plus it cost about the same as the factory ones at the local parts stores, and it even looks good.

CRANE PS91

I had a blaster coil in my car for five minutes. The car stalled every 10 secs and ran like hell. I returned it and put in a crane ps-91, and the car has run great ever since.

save your coin, the stock coil is more than up to the task

the aftermarket coil may give a little quicker starting, maybe better throttle response, but really not much else...I might be wrong on this, but I think I remember some saying the MSD hums a little...

yah it does hum, mine has since day one

I also recently noticed that I can see spark jumping from the main body of the coil to the outer metal frame. Probably not good

I have the msd blaster TFI coil I like it I have had it for 3yrs and it still is in great cond. I got when I got my 6al and I have never noticed any humming but then again I never listened to it ( sorry for spelling I suck at spelling)

What is the price difference between the MSD and Crane?
