Re: My 88 Olds wagone U/SA 10 Pennies
I do have a MSD Blaster coil on shelf. Is there a conversion to put on cap for coil wire? I don't remember if there is one as its been 30 years since I touched one.

Re: My 88 Olds wagone U/SA 10 Pennies
you will need a MSD 8401 conversion cap--- all it is is a "dust cover " WITH NO COIL
inside and a tower that looks like it has a spark plug on it--- this is how you connect the coil wire from the external coil to the distributor---FED 387 |

Re: My 88 Olds wagone U/SA 10 Pennies
Actually, a low budget guy might super glue the carbon button in place, tie about an inch of the wire core though the little spring, silicone over the whole mess, and then just drill a hole through the dust cap. No disconnect on that end , but the price is right.
Then, there's always Summit or Jegs.

Re: My 88 Olds wagone U/SA 10 Pennies
Coil heatng up is really a problem? I thought the rpms over 7k was a problem with spark scatter due to stock module not keeping up. The distributor is a cheap billet with pertronics internals.

Looked like an HEI to me, hence my comment. Can't report on the spark scatter. Never used a module on a real Stocker..I have used the HEI pick up to trigger an MSD..Seems to work fine

Re: My 88 Olds wagone U/SA 10 Pennies
I'm going to try tv cable first. Added spring pressure. Not sure on increasing line pressure. I thought adjusting tv cable make my 1-2 shift where I want it. No?

You can find much more info on the o.d trans from the GN boys. It is similar in function.
