WARNING: Very high voltages are present at the coil when the engine is running. Never connect any test equipment or touch the coil while the engine is running.

The Blaster HVC Coil is designed to be used with an MSD Ignition Control. It may also be used with stock or other aftermarket ignitions.

INSTALLATION

1. The Coil can be mounted in any position, but should be away from direct heat sources. Use the Coil as a template and mark the location of the mounting holes. Use an 1/8” bit to drill the holes.

2. Install the supplied vibration mounts to the coil and install the coil. Also install one end of the 4" Black wire between a vibration mount and the bracket. Connect the other end to ground.

Note: The supplied star washers must be used on both sides of the ground wire ring

lug terminal. This ensures proper grounding through the anodized brackets.

3. Route the coil wires away from heat sources, the plug wires and the trigger pickup wires.

4. The MSD Orange wire connects to coil positive (+). Black connects to coil negative(-). There are two options when connecting the coil:

• Use the supplied ring lugs or 45° blade terminals to connect the MSD Ignition wiring.

• Install the supplied 2-pin harness and connect the matching 2-pin connector to the ignition's wiring.

5. Connect the coil secondary wire to the coil and distributor cap.
