MSD Coil installation

Ok I got my Blaster 2 coil today from Summit. The installation paper has 5 setups. I dont know which one I am supose to use. Do I use the power tower? Or do I use the "GM Dual Connector Coil"? Thanks!

The only thing I can say to help is that I used the Tower power on my HEI ignition on my truck (with integrated cap and coil). Then I remote mounted the coil to the firewall. The instruction booklet included in the kit should guide you through the different types of ignition systems that are close to yours...

I would say you have to go with the two connector coil directions if it's the direct fit coil.

Follow the directions for dual connector coil, becuase that's what you have.

Yea Ive figured it all out. But I just found out that I only have 7mm wires when I thought my car came with 8mm. So Im gonna get the MSD 8.5mm wires. Good idea?

Monkie - I have a sort of "used" set of 8.5's if your interested in saving a few bucks. What happened was that I bought a new set (for V-8) and burnt a wire. I just put a new set on when that happened. The set with the burnt wire had less than 2000 miles on them, 90* boots. I'll entertain an offer for them, but be reasonable...
