I run a MSD Blaster 2 coil on my HEI conversion. I have a M-body, and that what was recommended on Dippy.org No issues whatsoever with it and it was $50-something dollars 3 years ago when I did the conversion. Probably can pick up one at a swap meet cheaper if you scrounge around enough, or ebay, they are fairly common items. Good luck with it! CC.

Honestly I have no experience with that coil. I just bought the Blaster 2 and was done with it. If the 3 is a update of the 2 then I don't see where you would have any issues...but that is purely speculation.
Good luck with it! CC.

I did the HEI swap on my '68, and got a coil for a Ford F150 pick-up. I believe the model year was 2001.
1970 Plymouth 'Cuda #'s 440-6(block in storage)currently 493" 6 pack, Shaker, 5 speed Passon, 4.10's 1968 Plymouth Barracuda Convertible 408 Magnum EFI with 4 speed automatic overdrive, 3800 stall lock-up converter and 4.30's (closest thing to an automatic 5 speed going)

the msd 0.8 ohm
that one. EDIT but ohm it & see what you have. You dont want any more than .8 ohms. I have a black FBO round coil with a MP .25 ohm ballast & it runs flawless so far in a DD
