Now do the 2nd gen coils swap and you'll be in good shape.

i have been running MSD coils for almost a year in the stock location and have had zero leaking.

i am also using a 2nd gen coil for the leading, it made a great improvement as well.

so sale one of the MSD coils and get a 2nd gen coil.

I use the MSD blaster 2 "vibration" coils- you can mount them anyway you like.

What makes an FC coil better than an after market performance one?

My MSD blaster 2 coils crapped out after about 3 years. I would rev up in the drive way and flames were shooting out the exhaust. Swear to god. Swapped over to a FC leading coil and no flames, and afr's were leaner. I dont know why, I called MSD tech line and spoke with their rotary specialist, yes they have one and he has a T2. He runs a MSD 6AL with a FC leading coil, so thats what I am running now.

I am sure they are great for a few years, just remember in three years they might go bad, real bad. Though the flame were pretty cool.

Yeah,, I've always wondered about this,,,, why run the 2nd gen coil if you already have aftermarket's like msd?? I am curious because I already bought the two msd coils and 6al , but am debating now whether or not I should use em.

There has been many write ups on this mod, w/ Jeff20b writing one of the most detailed "how to's" on this very subject. I to was once a doubter of the 2nd gen coil mod but after trying it for a few days now I gotta say there is a huge advantage over the MSD set and one is cost! 2nd would be simplicity of the install and 3rd is the ability to go back to stock w/ in minutes if needed.

i needed a new coil my trailing coil was leaking, i was going to order the msd blaster 2 coils that are meant for off road, the one's that you can mount any which way ect.
this guys thats a cool **** at advance asked me why i wanted those insteed of the regular blaster 2 coils. i told him about mounting them in the stock place ect.

the guy told me to go with the normle blaster 2 coils. he said if i have any problems ect he would just give me the othere msd coils for trade if i come in when hes there.

he only had one coil today. so he sold me that and told me to come back tuesday to get the second one.

i said befor my trailing coil was leaking, so what i did for now was put the leading coil in the spot for the trailing and the msd in the leading coil spot.

for just replacing one coil i noticed my car starts up with out problems now.


i got confused ect reading about the 2nd gen swap. i feel dumb.
when i put a sp 12a with a side draft carb in ill probly upgrade again but for now ill rock the 2 msd. and heck if they crap out on me i get a free set of the othere msd coils. thats 40$ ill save if these crap out.

Morey987

The search button doesn't seem to want to work for me right now????hhhmmmmm I was wondering which people thought were better in a comparison,,, the second gen coils, or a full msd setup. I already have the entire msd setup ready to go, just needs installed. So money isn't the problem.

I used to have about 5-6 FC leading and trailing coil's with igniter's laying around! Man i wish i still had one! i really want to try this.
