Basically, the ignition control holds the spark duration for 20º of
crankshaft rotation and steps up the primary voltage to 470 volts. The
ignition coil steps up secondary voltage to a maximum of 48,000 volts when
used in conjunction with an MSD Ignition Control.

Subject: Re: DML: Ignition Coils & Controls - Difference?
What are the differences and/or benefits (power
mileage?) of Ignition Controls vs Ignition Coils?
I went to the MSD site. For example, there is a
Blaster Ignition & a Blaster Coil.
I don't understand.
Thanks for the education.
