Radim Posted May 29, 2010 Report Share Posted May 29, 2010 Just curious if i would be able to use it on stock distributor... found at at the junkyard for dirt cheap in almost brand new condition and would be a good replacement for the old beat-up one i have now. Would i have to convert to Electronic Ignition? It's MSD Blaster 2 PN 8202 Quote Link to comment
hang_510 Posted May 30, 2010 Report Share Posted May 30, 2010 Would i have to convert to Electronic Ignition? yes... but until then maintain the stock ballast resistor. Quote Link to comment
datsunfish Posted May 30, 2010 Report Share Posted May 30, 2010 MSDs come new with a replacement resistor for stock setups. Not sure what the ohms are but they can be used with points. You can use it without the resistor with an electronic matchbox dizzy but not with the pertronix conversion. At least your not supposed to but I know people who have and said it was fine. So yes,you can use it with points if resisted. Quote Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted May 30, 2010 Report Share Posted May 30, 2010 Just use the stock coil!!!!!!!!!!! If you want to use the MSD Balster 2 coil youll need to add about a .7 ohm resisitor in series with the stock ballast resisitor. Quote Link to comment

Radim Posted June 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 Not entirely, got it at the junkyard for 2 dollars, it was pretty much new. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 Those idiots!!! $2 is fine and the only good reason for getting one. Can't see them being any better than stock just shiny. Stuff is always way better than stock if shiny or red. (and expensive) The more shiny red stuff you have on your car the closer it is to rice. Maybe paint it black. Quote Link to comment
