help installing msd ignition stuff

i have the instructions on how to wire the msd ignition box, but i have no idea what to do with the blaster ss coil i bought. i looked at the dizzy and it looks like the coil might be inside. can i use an external coil on my ls? how would i go about wiring it? the coil didnt come with any instructions and i couldn't find any on the msd website.

coil in the distributor. all you need to do is hook up the positive and negative wires from stock coil to the Blaster coil and put on a modified distrubutor cap and hook it up with the supplied ignition coil wire.

ok. i didnt know that i'd have to buy a modified cap!

thanks again.

ok. i bought the cap and tried to install it. do i have to remove the stock coil? because the msd cap won't fit unless i remove it. i spliced the wires from the new coil to the cap and the car won't start. do i have to remove any other parts or disconnect any other wires?

yes, you have to remove the old coil.

Summary: This install on Honda, but similar, same idea.
Remove old coil, hook up "+" and "-" wires from ignitor to MSD ignition input.
Next hook MSD ignition output to the Blaster coil "+" and "-".
Then put the coil sparkplug wire on blaster coil to the distribuor cap.
Last, connect power supply wire "+" MSD ignition to "+" battery and ground the MSD ignition.

Summary: Remove old coil. Hook up + and - wire from ignitor to new MSD coil. Then put the coil sparkplug wire on blaster coil to the distributor cap.

Overall, both methods Very easy. shouldn't give you much trouble.
