Are the stock 1st gen RX7 coils a typical HEI style non ballast 12v coil? Or are they rotary specific?

Before swapping them out for some MSD's I wanted to make sure they weren't special due to the more rapid discharge the 7 warrents.


I did use the search function but I found conflicting information. It looks like a typcial MSD Blaster 2 Canister coil would work sweet.

YES. NO. both questions answered.

 

I had a nicely typed answer up,then noticed it is For FB,not FC..sorry My friend..Bump for you.

 

yes the blaster 2's work great, I run 3 of them with a MSD 6AL ignition

 

Excellent! Thanks guys!

 

just recently got my MSD setup (6AL and two blaster 2s) on my leading ignition, DLIDFIS as they call it around here. and man it really helped in a lot of ways. smoother more consistent power band, better idle, eaiser starting in the cold, and about two more miles per gallon avg....the engine just sounds way healthier/stronger. oh, and i should mention that i upgraded to this from a stock SA (original '79) breaker point ignition setup, so i'm sure this is one reason i noticed such a dramatic improvement.

 

That's wrong. You either have an MSD ignition or DLIDFIS. You can't have both at the same time.

 

ah...ok, i was thinking this was what everyone was calling this setup. just because it has the individual coils for each leading spark plug it is not a DLIDFIS, which i still do know what that stands for, maybe i need to do a search.
