That's basically what I did, Jon. The blaster coil is on the right fender
well. The mopar coil is in the original position. That way if one fails I
just plug into the other one. Takes 30 seconds and I don't have to go all
the way back home to do it.

well baby died on me today, way out in da middle of NOWHERE!! grabbed the
cell and got my buddy on the way.... Traced the problem down to the
Accell coil I installed about a year and a half ago. After an hour of
driving home and back she was underway in less than 30seconds. Good ol
Mopar coil back in place.
there must have been serious issues with that coil. I would dare guess it
was robbing me of 10-20 ft/lbs of torque. Call me crazy if you must, but I
honestly think it was that much of a difference. Before hand I could
hardley muster a good power break, after swapping the coil out I laid 100'
of twin streaks...
The only thing I can think of was the heat since the coil is mounted on the
side of the head. I'm planning on an MSD soon, so I plan on mounting the
blaster coil away from the motor, and add some sort of fan on it. A dead
coil will get you about as far as you can push your truck :(
