I was going to get a new coil after replacing the wires, cap and rotor, and i still feel like it's missing. What are the differences, if any, if the 3 and 2? IS one better or worse? Is there a better coil that would still be compatible with my 6al and MSD pro billet distributor? TIA. graemlins/beers.gif

I also have the MSD 6AL and Pro billet distributor and I use the Blaster 2 coil, I think the Blaster 2 coil will work fine with your set up.

I've heard that the blaster 3 is too hot for everyday street use.

I'm running the 6AL with the Blaster 2 coil, but unfortunatly, I'm running my old 307's distributor with a magnetic pick up in it. I should forked out the cash when I had the chance for an MSD distributor, oh well, just another item on my list.

I used a 3 when they first came out.It was used in a daily driver for a little over one year.No problems.

Could be wrong here...
I was told that the blaster 3 is the as the 2 when it comes to current and voltage,it just has a HEI type attachment.

The Blaster 3 is a Blaster 2 with a tall HEI tower on it.

I have run a Blaster 3 for 5 years now, it was a freebee from my cousin who ran it on his Furd for 9 years before that. Neither one of us has ever had a problem with it.

Good to know. I hate the cheesy HEI tower adapter on the Blaster 2. It works, but I don't like the way it's designed to depend on a pile of frayed wires for conductivity.
