Need help with no spark

We have 4 ballast resistors. Three of them are at 1.3 ohms, and the other measures 0.8 - 0.9 ohms.

Now he wants to trade me the red Blaster 2 for my chrome Accel coil. I'm open to the trade...

Should I get the 0.8 - .09 ohm resistor to run with the MSD blaster and give him a 1.3 ohm for it??? Or will he be better with the 0.8 - 0.9 ohm resistor with the chrome Accel coil??

Sounds like you have 3 like the MSD ballasts and 1 like the BWD19. I personally would not be running the MSD Blaster 2 on long road trips unless I had spare ballast and coil and ignition box to carry. The coil resistance + ballast is a mite low and will be heating things up; OK for the drag strip (like the 0.25 ohm 'performance' ballasts!).

What is the plan with your 2 cars? Strip only or street? And which Accel coil model? I personally would stick with a 1.5 ohm-ish coil for long road trips; just a lower heat, reliability preference for me. ANd if I was not original or stock oriented in the car, then I'd fer sure go HEI.
