First coil lasted about 600 miles and got wet. I believe that could've been the cause. Second coil was on a motor that did 200 miles then was removed and stored for 6 months. The climate here in Ireland is cold and damp so I'm wondering if that's a contributing factor
It was a replacement 8222 MSD Resin Blaster coil. Where do I install a balast resistor when using the MSD 6AL box and distributor? All instructions say to bypass/remove the resistor and have full 12V when cranking and in run position
So new coil arrived Friday thanks to summit racing who i can never say enough good things about. Was unable to go near the car until Sunday to install the coil to try it. When installed the car fired up with the first tip of the key and idled like a dream. I'm going to get a e-coil to have as a...
The whole MSD kit was purchased in 2023. My replacement coil arrived from summit. On the paperwork it clearly states the coil is from the people's Republic of China. There's no issue with wiring on the car and no need for a balast resistor. The 6AL wired direct to the battery via the red and and...
There's no school like old school i believe is the right saying here. I'm irish but I do believe in the best quality parts are from the U.S. when we are talking about mopars. Unfortunately trying to maximise yearly profits the only way is to cut manufacturing costs which means cut corners and...
I was looking at the e-core could and am kicking myself i didn't purchase one before. I might try the MSD 82073 and see how it goes. Fingers crossed it runs better than ever.
I totally agree with that. I'm running NGK UR6with .039 gap.
The battery is new with a resting voltage of 12.6 and running voltage between 13.6 and 14.4V. I'm also running a Tuff Stuff 130amp 1 wire alternator. Everything was new in September 2023 last year excluding the coil which was April...
Thankfully I'm not the only one. I truely thought i was after doing something wrong. I literally just finished building this motor and it's been so hard to get the car running. It's all due to the coil. What did you use to replace yours?
I checked out the MSD compatible coil list. I also contacted summit as I only purchased the coil last April. Yet again another happy summit customer. They have already dispatched a replacement for me. I'm actually shocked at how quick and easy that was. I'll be using that as a backup coil as I'm...
I didn't believe i needed to install a balast resistor when installing the MSD 6AL along with the pro billet distributor. Maybe that is the cause of my issues
I've lost faith in MSD coils so I'm looking at Summit Racing SUM-850615 Summit Racing™ High-Output Ignition Coils | Summit Racing which is apparently ccompatible with the 6AL. Thought about the Blaster SS but read a few bad reviews. Anyone have any experience with the summit E-Core coil?
Hey everyone. I'm having major issues with coils. I'm running/was running the MSD Blaster High Vibration 8222 coil. I did about 600 miles on one coil and it bit the dust so I replaced it with another the very same and it only lasted 200 miles before it started to cause running issues and...
No need to apologise :thumbsup: I'm getting positive feedback regarding reusing the lifters on the matching lobes which is good but hearing from others about resurfacing them is making me want to buy new ones. I haven't pulled the lifters from the old motor yet. I'll get to that at the weekend...
Unfortunately that's not an option here in Ireland. Machines hops are very limited to the work they do. If you recommend defacing lifters that would mean buy a new set which if that's the recommendation I'll do it. It just works out around $400 for a set of lifters for me. A lot of money but if...
I won't be reusing pistong rings or bearings as the rings are broken in already on the last motor and this is a freshly block. They are super cheap aswell so they will be changed. The reason for reusing lifters is that they are already broken in to the cam and I think everyone knows how...
I've learned over the build of my 440 that new doesn't mean good and I'm not talking about rockauto new. I'm talking spending big money on coils, alternators, transmission parts and the occasional rockauto item. Sometimes the old parts are the best or just better than a lot of new items. I'm...
Dude that's what's so cool about the car. I love either super clean or ratty with a sweet clean motor.
I'm trying to insert a video of my own but I'm useless when it comes to computers. It's a 69 mod top satellite with a 67 440 motor bored .030 with flat top pistons, 452 heads, torker 2...
