'69 b body, 440 w/MP elec ign conversion.
This is my 2nd Blaster and I will not buy another one. Today, while doing some routine checking under the hood I noticed the top of my coil (which IS mounted vertically) had some oil film on it. I took a rag to wipe it off and unplugged the coil wire and the socket is filled with oil.
I do have the MSD ballast installed that folks here reccommended when I asked about using the blaster with the MP electronic conversion. The car is actually running really good, but I know that coil will leave me needing a tow.
I need to replace this coil and I do not want another oil filled blaster. What coil (make, part #, ebay, summit, whatever)would drop in its place for me?

To quote the man himself.... Quote:
No, our CD coil will most likely burn up your Mopar Box. Don Gould at FBO sells a great coil for your Mopar Ignition. Tell him I sent you. Thanks for the kind words, guys.

I don't get it either but I'm sure Rick knows his stuff and what he's talking about.
Come to think of it, there's a lot of things I don't get

So......what epoxy filled coil do I need? Seems some of them have different voltage and ohms ratings.

 I use the pertronix points conversion with the 40,000 volt flame thrower coil. i have the BR by-passed to give it a full 12 volts to the coil been 15+ yrs with it in 4-5 engine combos the MP set up has left me walking too many times,I am a die hard pertronix conversion guy now. so..no help from me  maybe you should swap to a points dist and a conversion set up I know I have never found the rpm limet yet..it allways throws a rod first

FBO sells a coil that works well with factory ignition. It is even made in the USA...
2 questions on the FBO coil
1) Is there a link to buy it? I looked on their site, saw the coil, but could not find a link to purchase it.
2) Do I use the stock ballast resistor with the FBO coil or the same resistor I am using with the Blaster? (I think .8)
I would just call him. The hours and phone number are on the website. I use it with a chrome box and matching Mopar ballast resistor.

If running the Mopar electronic distributor, box (chrome or orange) and Blaster II coil the proper ballast resistor is 0.25 Ohms (#Mopar Performance 2444641).
Just my $0.02..
