 Subject: MSD Blaster ignition on 87 V6
IP: Logged
Message:
I installed an MSD 5900 Blaster ignition on my 87 Dak cuz I had to swap out the original carb for the non-feedback variety becuz the mixture control solenoid went south and you can't buy a new replacement and I still have to pass smog and I thought an upgraded ignition might help do that.
So then the stock coil starts getting super hot so i sprung for a Blaster 2 coil and now the damn thing (the MSD combo... I LUV my Dak) stumbles on accelerating from a dead stop.
I can use the MSD 5900 Blaster ignition with the stock coil or the MSD Blaster coil with the stock ignition and the truck runs like a dream, but not both together or I get a hair pulling, cat stomping, dog kicking stumble on acceleration from a dead stop.
My plug wires are about 3000 ohms per foot. I'm thinking maybe a lower resistance wire set, but then I realize that the plug gap has almost infinite resistance. Then I thought maybe I should wait til dark, fire it up and raise the hood to see if I can see where the electricity is going. Maybe I just need better insulated plug wires.
Thoughts?

3000 ohm per foot is bad
MSD 8.5 super conductor wires are 50 ohm per foot
think of electricity as water your squising the
hose shut and over working the coil
