MSD coil issue!

[69clark]

I noticed this weekend that my MSD coil was messed up. The plastic coil part (red part) is loose from the metal heat sink around it. My stock coil is not like this, and I am not sure when the MSD coil did this.

My question is, does this have any adverse affects? The link below is a pic of the coil to make it easier to understand.

I do believe that the internals are set in epoxy. A loose outer cover won't hurt anything.

Same thing happened to me. I never had any problems with it I don't think. I started having stator problems so I changed both of those out at the same time.

I would keep the stocker somewhere in the car just in case though

My MSD was like that and my Performance distributors is like that too. Both worked just fine.

Mines been like that for over a year. No problem with it.

MSD 6AL and BLASTER 2 COIL

Ya mines the same damn way and I actually pulled it off the car and went back to the stock ignition system. Because for some reason my battery is also drained pretty hard after 3-4 days of the car just sitting when the msd box is hooked up. so there must be an open loop somewhere. I spoke with MSD and they told me to check to make sure the smaller red wire that goes to the coil harnesses does not have any current when the cars off. so I have yet to try that. It may even not be the MSD box draining it at all but who the heck knows
