The MSD Blaster SS ignition coil packs performance into a compact housing. Efficient E-core windings produce high current without sacrificing voltage output — when paired with an MSD 6-Series ignition, it produces 300 milliamps of current and up to 40,000 volts. A tough, rigid housing with a tall tower and brass primary terminals stands up to engine bay conditions, and the primary and secondary windings are encased in Ciba polyurethane. Note: if installing to a points distributor or a non-current-limiting ignition system without an MSD ignition, a 0.8-ohm ballast resistor (MSD PN 8214) is required in series with any factory resistors on the positive coil wire.

FAQ
Is the MSD 8207 Blaster SS coil legal for street use in California?
Yes. It carries CARB EO# D-40-37, making it legal for sale and use on Emissions Controlled Vehicles in all 50 states per MSD's application guide.
What ignitions is the Blaster SS coil compatible with?
MSD 6 and 7-Series ignitions as well as other electronic ignition systems.
Do I need a ballast resistor to install this coil?
Only if installing to a points distributor or a non-current-limiting ignition system without an MSD ignition — in that case, a 0.8-ohm ballast resistor (MSD PN 8214) is required in series with any factory resistors on the positive coil wire.
What voltage and current does the Blaster SS coil produce?
Up to 40,000 volts and 300 milliamps of current when used with an MSD 6-Series ignition.
Is the Blaster SS coil vehicle-specific?
No, it's a universal coil that can be added to any MSD 6-Series ignition system.
