Ignition Coil Questions

My 340 has been upgraded to electronic ignition.

I am using the Mopar orange box with an Accel Super Stock coil.

Everything is working fine and there are no issues.


Would I notice a performance difference by switching to the MSD Blaster 2

coil?
No

If I change to the MSD coil should I bypass the ballast resistor?
This depends on the coil requirements specifics, but some do bypass it and some don't.

Does the MSD coil have to mounted vertically or horizontally?
Vertical is always best for canister coils, but here again some do it and some don't (plenty of oppinions on this one)

Should I upgrade plugs and wires also for best performance?
Upgrade from what?
Standard plugs and wires will handle anything until you get into HEI ignition.
They run fine even with HEI, but the chances of loosing spark out the side of a wire is increased.
I ran HEI with stock wires and didn't have any issue's at all.
But I did upgrade to Accel 8mm silicone wires when I got the chance.

Hope this helps
