Thread: Help me pick- Electronic Ignition Coil

Tweet

Hi all, just after a bit of advice in regards to choosing a Coil for my engine.

Firstly this is for an Australian 1982 V8 Cleveland engine.

Using the Standard Ford Motorcraft Bosch 12 V Electronic Ignition Distributor and ignition system.

I have been using the Normal Bosch 12V electronic Ignition Coil, but are wondering if there are any benefits in going up to a MSD Blaster 2 (12 Electronic Ignition Model) or a Malloy 12 V Electronic Ignition Coil.

Both these coils boast that they have a stronger more powerful spark over standard coils.

While there's no doubt that this is the case when comparing Points Ignition coils from a standard coils to a performance ones, but when your dealing with Electronic Ignition, I have always been lead to believe that in standard from they had a massive spark out put, and short of going to a MSD system, that's it.

Are these MSD and Mallory coils going to offer any major benefit in a Electronic Ignition system over the normal Bosch Electronic Ignition coil?

Thanks heaps for any help or comments.

Francis.

Ok, done a bit of shoping around, seems I can get either a MSD Blaster 2 12V Electronic Ignition Coil or a Champion12 V electronci Ignition one for a bit less.

Everyone is telling me there would not be all that much difference in the out put of them so I should just go the cheaper one of the two.

Any thoughts?????

IMHO, I think ya should go wif the new chromium plated all epoxy coated kneuutin Dizzy coil for the Superhorsetroth Ford LDC-699 engine. It has superior firepower equal to the M-147 subliminalmachine gun that shoots Nitrogen projectiles that are frozen to 879° Centigrade more than 4 feet...

I think I read that same thing in Car Craft. No, No it was an NRA bullet tin.
