    If you have a 6A box as well you better use a blaster 3.I had a problem with the blaster 2 arcing from the coil tower to the positive post.MSD said to use the blaster 3 with the taller tower and that would not happen.Worked great for many miles/years.

    I actually got away with a new,stock coil from Advance after we accidentally cracked the top of the Blaster 2.It(the stocker) worked fine,even on the bottle.

    Frank....I highly recommend getting a 6AL box, but if you want a 6A, I have a spare setting here....I'll even put a warrantee on it....just send me some $$$.

    Going with the blaster coil and the 6AL is the way to go.
