Re: attn: Robrt-Stephens
OK, I've been doing some research and am almost done with my TFI swap but do not know where to go from here. One thing to keep in mind is that I have no resistor going to my coil right now, so it gets a constant 12v. Here is everything I am considering:
1. I bought a stock ford tfi coil for $40. It is unused and still capable of being returned.
2. I saw an MSD GM blaster coil part number 8226 at pep boys for $38. It supposedly puts out 48,000 volts and I believe is oil-filled.
3. I saw an MSD blaster TFI coil part number 8227 at pep boys for $44. I believe that this one is also oil-filled and puts out 48,000 volts.
4. Any other ideas?
So what is the difference between the ford tfi coil and msd blaster coil? Is oil filled better? Also, will any of these coils withstand a constant 12 volts? Are there any other parts that will fail when given a constant 12v? Do I need to buy a resistor? I really could use some help here...my jeep is sitting in the garage just waiting to be finished.
