I would get one except for all the negative reports about hard starting. It appears the "Hyper Coil" fixes that, but it doesn't come standard?

All I can say is "that I have had NO problems with mine". BUT: Like an 2 cyl. engine. Always use fresh gas. Gas that is older than 30 days, will over time foul up the carburetor. When you store it leave gas in it WITH gas stabilizer. This way the gaskets won't dry rot. And you will be fine. An electric start systems will fail. IF you over heat the starter......Info from ex mechanic. Good luck.

Ive never had a problem with it starting hard. It generally starts right up, unless of course i forget to put it on choke.....I absolutley love this little thing for flowerbeds, veggie bed, etc...and i'm a 45 yr old female. It works great!

Nope... Get one... It'll make this easier - especially if most of the components are faulty parts and you get to change it 5-6 times

I'm running a stock Bosch coil too. As noted, be careful with the wiring. This distributor is much-much better than the stock. You'll be very happy.

Hmm, as i know there are 2 kinds of coils, the diffrence to look would be the angle of the coil boot. Check for original OEM code.

I am happy with mine, however it went on an early 99 f350, which uses a coarse thread. I'm unaware of the warranty or return policy. The item I ordered was exactly what i was looking for; the 8 lug hub. Don't let the generic photo fool you, pay attention to the part number. These are fine thread as everyone has stated. So.... I bought new lug nuts and late model rotor to fit. (early -99 are a little different offset, which required the rotor swap.) I replaced all ball joints while i had it apart. This unit really got rid of the "Float" which is why i replaced mine. ( 37" tires are just so heavy and abusive on parts, so i went to a 35.) I'm hoping these last lol.

First that I have heard of this unless they stuck something extra in the box for you. Mine only came with the standard four.

I found someone local who could work on mine after several that wouldn't because they are not familiar with it. He claims that it has a Honda motor. He starts and runs like new since he tuned it up.

That's a question in need of a lot of definition. If you have a bad coil, or indeed no coil at all, then yes, this will make a huge difference. Night and day. if you're already running a full on crank triggered dual distributor race setup from a top fuel dragster, then this will be a step backwards. For the purposes of expediency I will assume you're running a more or less stock ignition setup on a more or less stock engine. Assuming your stock components are in good working order, then the answer is maybe. A good stock coil is not excessively lacking in voltage, but a hotter spark (within reason) generally doesn't hurt. I had a bad coil, and figured I'd spend the extra couple dollars and get the really cool sticker, because as we all know, the stickers are what really add the power. I figure mine brought me at least 25 at the wheels. All joking aside, adding this to a completely stock setup will not give you noticeable gains, unless your old one was bad. Invest in some good wires, good plugs, make sure those plugs are properly gapped and you have good electrical grounds to the body, and you might notice a few small things. With the things I listed I ended up getting better idle quality, and small (2-3%) gains in mileage, maybe slightly better off the line performance. Nothing really worth dumping a bunch of money into. For most folks, and most cars of this age, a good tune up and making sure everything is in spec is going to make much more of a difference. If you've already done that, and have the cash to burn, give it a try. It's not worse than stock. Then, put the sticker on and start blowing by Porsches.

I purchased the Blaster 2 and removed the stock Mopar coil. Havent noticed a change but I guess if it holds up its doing its job.

I went with all mad distributer ignition box and coil. A lot of people have problems when running a HEI because the don't get a stronge enough signal to the EFI

No need for a coil with this distributor. Don't be like me and buy a new one and then not have any need for it. Haha

it would be better to buy one with electric start. a lot cheaper. you would have to change the flywheel.

I am not a professional by any stretch of the imagination, but I was able to install this hard start kit on my home unit with NO TROUBLE. What I did was do an internet search for this kit, you may have to look at a few returns, but will eventually come to a "how to" segment put out there from the manufacturer. They, of course, say to only do this if you are an experienced, licensed professional but after seeing the video and studying your air cond. unit carefully you should be able to figure it out. If in doubt you can always have a pro do the install for you.

Yup...make sure you get the right kv motor though and use proper gearing to ensure no overheating of the esc or motor

From my recent experience, my 2014 challenger needed it, it may be different for yours! I just figured out last nite that mine needed it. And now I have no issues. So to be on the safe side get it.

I have only used it on my 2001 jetta so having you buy this one a bit of a risk on my word alone. What I can tell you is I wish I would have spent the $20.00 or so more to get the higher mod. The online update the one you can store your info in that you get from your car and go on the web with that info to look for a fix. Over all this maker has done a very good job with this unti so you can trust them with your cash. I hope that will help in some way.
