Msd 8386 ready-to-run distributor

[66belveder]

Just rebuilt 383 and went with a new MSD distributor, has anybody else ran this distributor and if so what are your comments

I've run one in my 400 for a year without issue.

My question to you, if I run a new MSD blaster 2 coil with it, do I need to use the ballast resistor, I would think you would not need it now

 

[GITEX]

No resistor at all. It will take the 14.5 volts i give it without issue

66bel, call MSD or get on web site, all the answers are there and you need to read them! I have both kinds on our cars but I do like the adv. canister on the street driven car. good luck

X2 on no ballast. MSD loves voltage!

Thanks everybody, my 383 is 30 over with .494-lift cam with good aftermarket 1.5 rockers, steel crank and recondition rods with ARP Bolts with new Edelbrock dual plane intake**pictures of car to follow soon if I can figure out this new Samsung# 5 which I hate

I run one on my 383...works great, no need for the ballast resistor.
