ignition coil upgrade namebrand

[funky technician]

hay guys, I was just wondering if theres a coil upgrade like blaster or what ever for a 93 festiva that now has a b6, and where do you buy it, the stock coil seems weak in mine

Search msd blaster coil....

[funky technician]

which one do I need, the one with the risistor or the model without? It says that the one with the risistor is for a points system, but I thought I herd someone on the forum mention that they didn't know what to do with the risistor, denoting they purchesed the one that came with it, should I get the risistor one or the one without it?
thanks :wink:

I know Mattswabb uses a MSD coil, I think its a blaster.

cool, I wonder if anyone else had problems with burning out there distributor without using the risistor, I read one post were a guy burnt out 2, then said he never had a problem after he installed it, so it knida makes me nervous, but I did notice there is a small risistor up beside the stock coil (small rectangle with 2 wires), wired back to the same wire bundle, is this stock equivelant of the risistor provided in the coil kit?

Resister's are cheap.

Resister's are cheap.

sorry, I ment he burnt out 2 distributors not useing the risistor, not 2 resistors, so I'm wondering if that small rectangle wired in next to the coil is the stock resistor or something else, if so maybe they mean to replace this with the supplied risistor

I kept mine and screwed it into the wirewall up where the wiper motor use to be. Just hook up the msd blaster 2 coil and fatter wire is the positive wire the other is the negitive...

you mean you used the one that came with the coil? how did you wire it in?

I just bought the blaster coil, the resistor is not needed in our cars. Buy it and connect the 2 wires. PM me if you buy one and I'll go out to the garage and see what wire goes where.

i got a blater as well and no resistor no problems yet well the car does break up but i think thats something else

I've got one running my BP without any problems (no resistor)... The thicker of the two wires run to the +, the smaller to the -.

Mine is just the standard Blaster II coil... I know they have the III's out now.
