MSD 8203 Details

If you are looking to upgrade your stock coil, or want to compliment the performance of your MSD ignition, the Blaster Coil line is the right choice. Special 100:1 windings, kept cool in an oil filled metal canister, are used to provide maximum build-up of voltage. The tower assembly is molded of durable alkyd material due to its high dielectric characteristics while wide spaced brass primary terminals prevent the possibility of spark. Can be used with a stock ignition, Blaster Ignition, or MSD 5, 6 or 7 Ignition Control.

The 0.8 ohm ballast resistor must be used with stock points ignition and Mallory Unilite applications. Includes MSD Power Tower top.

Replacing a stock ignition system on my 1972 Chevy C10

Replaces stock coil. Slides right in to the stock bracket. Since I am staying with the stock points distributor for now, I needed the ballast resistor that is conveniently included in this kit. This coil can be used with both stock and MSD ignition systems and boxes, which I intend to upgrade to in the future.
