Do you need a ballast resistor with MSD Blaster 2 coil?
Do you need a ballast resistor with MSD Blaster 2 coil?
This Blaster Coil is supplied with a ballast resistor. If your application uses a points distributor, the ballast must be used. Late-model electronic ignitions or an MSD Ignition do not require the ballast….Features:
| Brand | MSD |
|---|---|
| Product Type | Coil |
| Secondary Resistance | 4.5K OHMs |
| Spark duration | 350 uS |
| Turns Ratio | 100:1 |
Do all ignition coils need a ballast resistor?
All cars produced with breaker-points type ignition generally had a resistor of some sort in their ignition system. And while ignition coil life may be compromised without a resistor, the additional secondary voltage (at the spark plug) is increased which generally improves power.
Does MSD coils need a ballast resistor?
Basically you need to have a ballast resistor on your setup thats why MSD has it in there instructions. The resistor is so you dont blow up the coil when the power is on. Doesnt matter points or electronic. Yes points need a little more resistance so there resistor has more ohms.
How do you wire a Blaster 2 coil?
always remove the Negative (-) cable first and install it last.
- Mark the original coil wires as positive (+) and negative (-) and remove the wires.
- Remove the high voltage coil wire (spark plug wire) and remove the coil from the bracket.
- Install the Blaster Coil into the mount and tighten.
Which is the best coil for MSD Blaster ignition?
If you are looking to upgrade your stock coil, or want to compliment the performance of your MSD Blaster Ignition, MSD 5, 6, or 7, the Blaster Coil line is the right choice. Our Blaster Coils are designed for improved spark output!
Which is high vibration coil for Blaster ignition?
The High Vibration Coil, PN 8222, can be mounted in any position due to its epoxy potting compound. Improved output coil for electronic ignitions, Blaster Ignition or MSD 5, 6, and 7 Series (ballast resistor required for points)
Where to Mount MSD 8202 high vibration coil?
It is recommended to mount the PN 8202, PN 82023, and 8223 coils in an upright position. The High Vibration Coil, PN 8222, can be mounted in any position due to its epoxy potting compound.
Is the MSD Ignition bracket self tapping or self tapping?
MSD continues to push the envelope with cutting-edge ignition technology as well as intake manifolds and EFI systems. The Bracket uses a bolt and nut combination instead of the easily stripped self-tapping screw common on other brand brackets.
