Guys, I am new to the rotary scene. I have 2 blaster coils, so which one would be the trailing coil? I also see some wire in the engine bay that are not connected. I need to take some pictures asap and hopefully get some help. Ok, once I find the yellow/blue wire what should I connect it to? I am pretty sure I'll get all of this down one day, thanks guys!

Two blaster coils is not a stock configuration. Can you post a picture of your engine bay.
In a stock car, the trailing coils are those closest to the firewall.
What are you trying to do?

The factory distributor. My msd 6al's are out right now, waiting to go back and get serviced. It seems that they are no longer working.

Stock ecu with a microtech mt4. Is this ignition set up out dated or am I doing something wrong?

I'm not familiar with the mt4, I would guess it is a fuel piggy back.
The ignition is of an older style than your car but if it works I cant see why it would be a problem, unless you need to dynamically change timing for your turbo setup.
Is that a T70 turbo?

Ok the setup is using the mt4 to control fuel and a distributor adjust the timing for boost.
Honestly, even if it works it seems like a half-assed way to do it.
I am building a T70 setup myself and I am running a megasquirt standalone that controls both fuel and spark based on boost and rpm.
Also, whats going on with the throttle body, Ive never seen anything like that before?

The car made 376 rwhp on 7lbs of boost before the rebuild. I was unable to really turn things up since I am still inneed of bigger injectors. I am running tstock primaries and 660 secondaries. I got the car this way and plan on doing alot of modifying to whats already there.

Do you have your fuel pressure at 75psi base? With 550/660 injectors at 100% (dangerous) duty cycle it is only enough fuel for around 350 flywheel HP.
Still do not know what you are trying to fix. Is your tach not working? Or are you trying to wire in a tach?

if you dont know which one is trailing and which one is leading do you even know which rotor is #1 and #2 and where the plug wires even go???? like Banzai said you can pull the wire off and have someone crank it. More details on the setup would be great.
