The Firecore coil took a dump on my wife's '70 Barracuda today.

What's the latest and greatest coil for a street/strip car with a traditional MSD 6AL? I had stopped using a totally fine MSD Blaster 2 when I installed the Firecore, but I recall a lot of people saying Blaster 2 coils should not be mounted horizontal. (One of the reasons I switched to a Firecore in the first place, for the Blaster 2 was mounted horizontal like a typical big block and I do recall a Blaster 2 leaking oil on our NSS Savoy back in the day.)

Any recommendations?

I thought about maybe the high vibration Blaster 2...it says it can be mounted in any position.

High Vibration Blaster 2

Is there anything else out there? I have not even shopped for coils since installing the Firecore.

i think mine is an msd hvc? its blue and square, had it 5 years now

MSD HVC here. I had a Firecore before that but it crapped out after 3 years on a car I didn't drive much.

The one you show is what I use... or its the marine one..
both are high vibration type
EDIT
and its mounted horizontal

There are lots of options. I make a simple bracket that hold the coil vertical or I make little brackets that hold the square type coils.

damn those are nice looking brackets

Thanks. I also make a SB version of the Blaster SS bracket.

Same exact situation for me. Looks like I'll be replacing the one on the NSS Savoy as well before it craps out.

Andy- Will the Blaster SS coil bracket fit on a 440 with the standard M1 single plane manifold? The cast-in coil bracket boss is kinda big on those intakes. In comparison, the Victor intake provides a lot more room in that area.

Blaster SS coil here, no trouble after 5 years.

On my street car (Coronet Convertible), I have the MSD Chrome canister coil (Blaster 2, $48.95) mounted horizontal, and so far no problems?
On the Charger that I race, I have the Crane PS91 "E-Core" coil ($79.18)
The MSD Blaster SS is also an E-Core ($52.95), but I have not used one?
The MSD "U-Core" coil (HVC 2) is supposed to be the best, but is also the most expensive at around $200+.

Accel E Core here. small enough to fit on the back of my engine plate & has a wicked spark. i know.

I just replaced a 15 year old Blaster 2 with the one above chasing a miss. Mine is vertical mounted to on the chassis, however.

I used Blaster 2s for a long time. I changed to a blaster SS while chasing an ignition problem. That blaster SS left me on the highway during drag week 2013 so I went back to the Blaster 2. Recently i switched to coil on plug so I run 8 GM LS truck coils.

I use a Pertronix IgnitorIII coil with my IgnitorIII distributor, low deck BB.
I have it mounted vertically on my motor plate.

Beautiful Cuda by the way, love the color combo.

I use the Blaster 2, mounted on the right inner fender.

Isnt there an OEM that is supposed to wirk even better with the 6AL than the Blaster? Thought i read that somewhere?

My Blaster 2 was junk. A terminal broke while barely tightening it down. I cleaned up and used an old Chrysler coil and it works great with the MSD. The MSD is hidden so most people think I'm still runnin' points.
