. Thanks a million for the help!!Thanks,

Hey guys, I was wondering if this coil is good to use with the HEI conversion. This is what I have on it right now. Any input would be greatly appreciated. http://www.pertronix.com/prod/ig/flame/ ... _volt.aspx |

It'll probably work okeh, at least for awhile, but it's probably not the best pick. See the coil info in the HEI upgrade article. |

Dan, I found the part that you referenced in the article. are the holes in each corner mounting holes? This will be in a Dodge A100, so it would have to be mounted to the rear dog house panel. Thanks, Russ |

I've been running a Mallory Promaster coil in my truck for the last six years and it's worked outstanding. This is with a Mallory ignition piggybacked to a factory Toyota system though. I've also got a new one (same part number) to try with the HEI ignition in my Duster. It's a big'n, and won't fit in the factory coil location (which I hate anyway), but now that the MSD Blaster 2 is being made in China and the Promaster is still US-made, I figured it'd be well worth trying. Only caveat is that it uses a male HEI-style ignition lead as opposed to the common female type. I've already got a set of Magnecor wires custom ordered to accommodate it. I honestly doubt it'll offer higher performance per se, but I think I can achieve a much cleaner and more efficient installation with this Vs. a canister type coil, and it'll likely last longer than a new MSD would now anyway. I'll be sure to post up my results when all is said and done. |

Yes, they're mounting holes. There's a mount bracket used with this coil on all the cars that came with it. |
