Yes, if your ignition system is a contact breaker (points) type or an electronic ignition that requires a ballast resistor for proper operation. If your system does not require one, consult MSD documentation for alternative configurations.
This specific model (Blaster 2) includes a ballast resistor and is intended for systems requiring one. Using it directly with a stock electronic ignition that does not use a ballast resistor may damage the ignition module. Consult MSD for a ballast-free coil if needed.
The MSD Ignition Blaster 2 Performance Ignition Coil is rated for a maximum voltage of 45,000 volts.
The 100:1 turns ratio contributes to the coil's ability to build high voltage quickly and efficiently, resulting in a stronger, more robust spark that aids in better combustion.
The Blaster 2 coil is designed as a performance upgrade. While it can be used in daily drivers for improved reliability and spark quality, its primary benefits are most noticeable in performance-oriented applications or vehicles with demanding ignition needs.
Disconnect the battery before cleaning. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the exterior of the coil. Ensure connections are clean and free of corrosion. Avoid using solvents or abrasive cleaners.
Please refer to the product packaging or MSD Ignition's official website for the most current warranty information, as terms can vary.
Verify all connections are secure and correctly wired. Ensure the ballast resistor is used if required by your ignition system. Check the primary resistance and coil wiring continuity. Inspect the distributor cap and rotor for damage or wear.
Check for loose connections at the coil or distributor. Inspect the spark plug wires for resistance and damage. Ensure the coil is not overheating; verify proper mounting and airflow.
Ensure the coil is correctly wired with the ballast resistor if required. Verify that the peak current draw does not exceed the coil's specifications. Check for adequate airflow around the coil mounting location.
Double-check wiring against the specific requirements of your ignition system. Ensure the ballast resistor is correctly installed if necessary. Confirm that the coil is the appropriate upgrade for your application and not causing electrical issues.
Setup: Proper installation is crucial for the Blaster 2 coil to function correctly and safely. Always disconnect the battery before beginning installation. Mount the coil securely in a location away from excessive heat and vibration. Connect the primary wires according to your ignition system's requirements, ensuring the ballast resistor is correctly integrated if your system needs one. Connect the high voltage output to the distributor. Consult your vehicle's specific wiring diagram and the MSD installation manual for detailed instructions.
Compatibility: This coil is suitable for use with contact breaker (points) triggered ignition systems and electronic ignition systems that require a ballast resistor. It is designed to complement MSD Blaster 6 ignition systems but can also be used as an upgrade for many stock ignition systems when wired correctly with the ballast resistor.
Care: The oil-filled metal canister provides protection, but regular inspection for leaks or damage is recommended. Keep the coil and its connections clean. Periodically check that the plug lead boot is securely seated to prevent moisture ingress. Avoid exposing the coil to prolonged high temperatures beyond its operating design.
