msd external coil ignition

[MF BAKER]

i have the msd external kit waiting to be put on. just waiting for a couple free days to do it. has anyone else done this mod? anyone got any ideas/comments/questions/concerns? any pitfalls to watch for? it sounds pretty str8 forward to remove the internal coil and hook up the new one, but shit always 'seems' easy. any help or info is appreciated!

I've done it, and ya its simple. I did have to put an external coil distributor in tho.
I got it from a wrecker for $30 bucks. I dont know of any way to make a swap with the existing internal coil. Once you get the new distributor you will see a wire in the cars harness that goes nowhere when you plug the new distributor in. Just cut it and join it to the wire in the new distributor. (You will have to open the new distributor up) I am pretty sure the wire your looking for is green but don't quote me. Look in the manual or write me back and I will dig out my diagram to show you. I cant look at my car because I converted back to the internal coil a year ago. So I cant quite remember the colors.

Yea I have it on mine its simple wiring, but I think u have to get the msd cap and rotor.......not sure, but that's wat I did.

[MF BAKER]

word. i already have the msd power cap, msd rotor, ,msd coil wire and blaster 2 coil. msd has diagrams online for how to remove the internal coil from the distributor. looks easy. unless you have any external coil distrib you want to sell me EXR-ALB? what cars did those come on?

[EXR-ALB]

Not too sure what years they came on but I do have one in the shop somewhere. I will let you know if I find it And go from there.

you know for what the msd external cap and coil kit cost you can get a aftermarket high output coil that stays in the distributor like stock but not quite stock.

talk to jose(d112crzy) or jacob(tn_accords) they had to convert my H22 to external coil to get me going. they did it with my old dizzy(i think) and an external dizzy cap.

umm, 92/93's came with STOCK external coils. and with an external you have a better choice of coils and the option to run much better wires.

no matter how much it costs, a high output internal coil won't be as powerful as an external coil. and plus the whole kit was pretty much free brand new. i just had to buy a new coil wire.

I dont have an external coil dizzy, but My buddy does and he wants $100 for it. New is $285. If interested we will make you a wiring schematic.

I have been looking into doing this myself. The entire kits and individule parts are all sold on E-bay.

[EXR-ALB]

Good stuff. It'l be a great learning exp. Good luck.
