Sean D 31 Report post Posted March 9, 2018 I started a new thread to please barnett! Just kidding I am starting to purchase peripheral parts for my 408W build. https://craftperformanceengines.com/Item/crateengines-street-sbf-408-418, which will come with MSD Pro Billet Distributor Can anyone give me your thoughts on which ignition coil to run with the above engine and the MSD 6AL ignition w/ rev limiter control? These seem to be the best option in terms of MSD products: HIGH VIBRATION BLASTER COIL: https://www.msdperformance.com/products/coils/street_and_strip_coils/parts/8222 BLASTER SS COIL: https://www.msdperformance.com/products/coils/street_and_strip_coils/parts/82073 BLASTER HVC: https://www.msdperformance.com/products/coils/street_and_strip_coils/parts/8252 BLASTER HVC-2: https://www.msdperformance.com/products/coils/street_and_strip_coils/parts/8253 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mach1 Driver 560 Report post Posted March 9, 2018 Well, what are you going to be doing, and is it OK if it doesn't look like a conventional coil? The first one is for high vibration like off road or marine applications, the second gives more current, and the 3rd and 4th are for high RPM and long duration like road course or circle track. Personally I wouldn't go with any of those, and if I wanted to stay with MSD I'd go with their Blaster 2. 1 Sean D reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, it is absolutely okay if it doesn't look like a conventional coil and I am not stuck on MSD coil either. As long as what I get works with the MSD Pro Billet Distributor and the MSD 6AL ignition w/ rev limiter control. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sean D 31 Report post Posted March 10, 2018 Maybe a different approach is needed. What coil are you using if you have MSD Pro Billet Distributor and the MSD 6AL ignition w/ rev limiter control. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
barnett468 418 Report post Posted March 11, 2018 the anti vibration coil is good for street apps, but if you wanted to spend more money and/or have a different look, you can use the other styles. if you use a long coil wire, you can mount the coil on the firewall if you wanted. i sometimes use aluminum cable guides also for a more custom look. 2 Bob & Sue and Sean D reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bob & Sue 110 Report post Posted March 15, 2018 I've tried several coils MSD Blaster II, FOMOCO & Acell HiPo 45,000 volt right now I have the Acell in there now. I would go with the Blaster II. I have similar rails by Ford Racing for spark plug wire routing in the pic above by barnet best rails I've ever had keeps them separated but best of all you never need to search where each wire is going they are in order from bottom to top where they exit 1= #1 cyl, 2= #2 cyl etc. I can change a dizzy cap in 5 mins without chasing any wires. If you make your own wires they can be cut to the exact length for a clean looking setup without any chance of spark jump. 1 Sean D reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bob & Sue 110 Report post Posted March 16, 2018 I've run the Pre Made Taylor 8mm wires since I bought the Mustang. Nice kit all the wires were made to fit the Ford Racing Harness perfect fit great boots that seal. I've had problems with other brand universal fit brands definitely would recommend Taylor for the price & quality. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
