RE: ignition coils

I made them myself. It's really pretty easy. The stock wires to the coil
run along the right valve cover. They're shielded by the black convoluted
tubing. Those wires connect to the stock coil with a special Dodge
connector. I just cut the wires about 6-8 inches before the connector. The
Blaster SS coil from MSD has male disconnects that screw onto the coil. I
took the 6-8 inches hanging from the stock coil and put male disconnects on
them as well. If you're installing the MSD ignition module as well you will
want the small black wire from the MSD module to the black/gray (-) wire of
the coil; you will want the orange wire from the MSD module to the dk
green/orange (+) wire of the coil. Remember the other part of the wire you
cut back at the beginning? One of the wires is black/gray (-), originates
from the distributor; the other is a dk green/orange (+) , originates from
the ignition on your steering column. Again, if you're using the MSD module
you'll connect the black/gray (-) to the white wire of the MSD module;
you'll connect the dk green/orange (+) wire to the small red wire of the MSD
module. If you're not installing an MSD ignition module, you would connect
those two wires to the Blaster coil negative and positive respectively.

Have I totally confused you?

Thanx for your response Ron.
A few more questions. Do you know if the blaster coil will fit onto the
stock 1997 harness (my coil is in the same place as yours, your right dumb
place)? Does the MSD come with quick disconnects as you described or did
you install them yourself?
