nope not at all you can run any high output coil , make sure your wires from coil to msd are not close to any other wires at all!!!

Will this cause a miss around 3000 RPM? Right now I am having a problem with an ignition miss, can not find it. I was going to put another 6a MSD box in and try it. Just hate to buy another one when this one is only a few months old.

Are # 5 and 7 wires crossed?. If not, usually carb, then advance in dissy.

I have read in the past that ignition wires # 5and #7 should be crossed to prevent cross fire. I have not experienced any ignition issues with my MSD 6A running this way. How are you keeping them apart near the distributor and spark plugs?
