When I originally installed my MSD 6A, I went ahead and installed an MSD
Blaster 3 coil.  I'm still using that coil with the new Pertronix Ignitor.

When my MSD 6A comes back from being repaired, at this point I intend to
put it back on my Scout and use the Ignitor as the trigger.  However, I
have been toying with the idea of putting the MSD box on my 87 Subaru GL-10
Turbo Wagon... just for fun.

Ouch!  I don't like those sort of answers when that kind of money is being
tossed around... *my* money!
