MSD blaster ss 8207 install

I'm 99% confident that the install for these things is as simple as it looks but I want to ask first. I don't wanna be a donkey for assuming.

Msd 8207 is the part number

Just because I think someone it's going to ask, I'm going to use them because I already have 2 from my other car and they're just sitting in a box. Buying 2 more is under 100, so why not =/

What ECU/Ignitor are you using? Waste spark, or direct fire?
My old Microtech was pretty much run new power source to all 4 coils (fused/relay recommended), then using microtech X-4 box/igniter to coil ground.

Power fc and stock ignitor. I'm figuring its just run + to + and - to - then split the L wires to go to 2 sources instead of one. Basically a 1 for 1 swap from stock to msd.

I did something similar but with OEM FC trailing coils. In my case, it was a one for one wire transfer. Positive wire from the OEM coil goes to the positive post on the "new" coil, same for the negative wire.

AGAIN, I have not done this with MSD blaster coils. My experience is solely with FC trailing coils, and ran them like this for a couple of years without any issues!

honestly man and i dont mean to be a Debbie downer but I've had blaster coils,GM coils,MsD Digital 6 and MSD 6al and currently run AEM smart coils on a haltech. my advice would be keep stock FD coils and twin power DONE!!!!
i went to japan last year and saw a D1 drifting event and guys where running FD coils on 3 rotor cars motors making 500+HP on old Greddy E-manage ecus.
The point i am trying to make is keep stuff simple and reliable.

It's all good. I ditched the idea. I'm using the stock coils and a splitfire dspark max. It's splitfires version of the twin power.

Glad you did.. I have done so much stuff to my car over the years and learned the hard way. Simple and stock works!!!
We tend to over build these cars causing us to spend more time fixing problems than actually enjoying the car..
