Title: blaster coil 2 Post by: davvide on August 22, 2008, 18:50:29 pm Anybody has mounted blaster coil 2 with stock distributor?
Have you also mounted the ballast resistor? tnx Title: Re: blaster coil 2 Post by: davvide on August 24, 2008, 18:27:02 pm Nothing?!?
:'( :'( :'( Title: Re: blaster coil 2 Post by: John Rayburn on August 25, 2008, 06:23:47 am Personally I wouldn't run a Blaster coil. I've run the same Bosch Red coil for 25 years or so with no problems. I have heard of alot of problems of Blaster coils going bad. Regardless, you will need a ballast resister when running points with a Blaster or Bosch Red coil.
Title: Re: blaster coil 2 Post by: Greg G on August 30, 2008, 23:30:30 pm I just removed my blaster 2 coil because my perlux went bad and when I put regular points in, they just burt up. I put a stock blue coil in with the stock bosch black and white wire points.
If I put a balast resister in on the hot side of the coild, could I run the blaster 2 coil with the points? Greg G Title: Re: blaster coil 2 Post by: John Rayburn on August 31, 2008, 00:23:20 am Yes, you can run the Blaster coil with points, with a ballast resister inline.
Title: Re: blaster coil 2 Post by: Greg G on August 31, 2008, 05:49:13 am Yes, you can run the Blaster coil with points, with a ballast resister inline. Thanks, I'll put a set of cheap points in with the ballast and see how long they last. I don't want to mess up the new set of white stripe bosch points I just bought. I am having a hard time finding places that carry them. I bought both sets a little shop in chino had a couple weeks ago. At $12.00 a set, they said they don't sell very many and might not order any more. I asked them to get another two sets and I would pick them up, but they havn't called me saying they got them yet.

I have a Mallory distributor and I'm thinking about putting some extra kiloVolts to bump up the spark. Thing is... What is a 'ballast resister'? And where should I look for it? Title: Re: blaster coil 2 Post by: stealth67vw on February 25, 2009, 04:00:08 am I've been running an MSD Blaster 2 coil, MSD 6AL and a Bosch 010 with an Pertronix Ignitor and resistor less rotor for 3 years of daily driving with no ballast resistor. It came set up like this when I bought the car. .
Do I need one? Title: Re: blaster coil 2 Post by: wolfswest on February 25, 2009, 16:23:15 pm I tried a blaster coil with a 009 and a compufire in it. Fried 2 compufires... >:( For me it was a no go.
