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.

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 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)

If that's the big yellow beast yes I ran one on a street 440 30 years ago with no ballast (didn't know any better at the time) & it ran good/never failed. Electronic dist/HEI module. A .8 ohm ballast is recommended with it but like all coil setups you have some leeway on how much pri current you let in live every 24 hour block of time like it's your last day on earth

With a 4 pin ECU I've wired ballasts in parallel to get the ohms down to where I wanted it to be & 2 "single" dual terminal ballasts will fit side by side in a 4 terminal connector (both plastic pieces) & just add another blue loop like the one of em already has live every 24 hour block of time like it's your last day on earth

I have a black FBO round coil with a MP .25 ohm ballast & it runs flawless so far in a DD Last edited by RapidRobert; 12/18/12 12:14 AM. live every 24 hour block of time like it's your last day on earth

Also there are coils for '90s Mustangs that are quite good and you can get for cheap. Neither of them use a ballast resistor. I wouldn't run a coil that needed one, with that setup. R.
