hey this is my first post but have been around for a while i have a 84 2.8 camaro sport coupe and i recently bought a msd blaster stock replacment coil and when i went to put it in the other day the plugs on my stock one were completely different it seemed.is this cause mine is carbed or what? also what one do i need to get to do this upgrade

 

very well could be because your a carb engine. Honestly, most the information on this board is for the injected engines.

Where-ever you got it from should have a proper listing for that car. Or an easy conversion one should beable to be done.

 

Welcome to the forum! Isn't your spark coil in the distributor cap? Check out http://www.msdignition.com for the part # you'd need; MSD makes a spark coil for the coil-in-cap style. It hooks up with two wires.

 

Well since I'm in a good mood I did it for ya, this should be the one you need:

MSD # 8225, $75. (WOW.. were these models always so expensive? Jegs has the same price!)

If you want a cheaper priced coil, looks like Accel's #140003 is $50.

Take it back and tell them it is the wrong one.

No kidding! I thought the 82-84's were coil in cap- but I never actually looked! Any way you can get a picture of yours and put it up here? Let us know what MSD says...
