MSD Ignition – Coil; Blaster 2; High Performance (Part No.8202)

Coil; Blaster 2; High Performance

from

$71.99
If you are looking to upgrade your stock coil, or want to compliment the performance of your MSD blaster ignition, MSD 5, 6 or 7, the blaster coil line is the right choice. All of the blaster coils are designed for improved spark output. Special 100:1 windings are used to provide maximum build-up of voltage. These windings are held secure and kept cool in an oil filled metal canister. The tower assembly is molded of durable alkyd material due to its high dielectric characteristics while wide spaced brass primary terminals prevent the possibility of spark. There are several versions of the blaster coil available. All of them have the same internal specifications, but have different housings or components. Each blaster coil can be used with a stock ignition, blaster ignition, MSD 5, 6 or 7 ignition control. Most late model vehicles with electronic ignitions do not require a ballast resistor, check your ignition and manufacturers specifications to determine if a ballast is required in your application.

Product Features:
  • Improved output coil for electronic ignitions
  • Works w/Blaster Ignition Or MSD 5/6/7 Series
  • Ballast Resistor Required If Used w/Stock Points Ignition
  • Alkyd tower w/high dielectric properties lessens carbon tracking

B & M – Flexplate, 6 Bolt Crank for TF 727 (Part No.10230)

Flexplate, 6 Bolt Crank for TF 727

from

$149.99
As performance levels increase, an O.E. style flexplate just won’t cut it and a stronger option is a necessity to prevent transmission and/or converter failure. B&M has you covered with our high performance flexplate designed for 1962-up TF727 transmissions and all internally balanced Chrysler, Dodge and Plymouth V8 engines with 6-bolt crankshaft flange. Features include high tensile strength steel construction to resist elongation and cracking, dual bolt pattern 10.00 or 11.125 inch converter mounting locations and comes with SFI 29.1 safety certification insuring the ultimate in safety and performance.

B & M – Flexplate (Part No.10238)

Flexplate

from

$91.99
Fits 1970 and up Chrysler, Dodge, Plymouth with a 440 CID engine using a Torqueflite A727 automatic transmission. Works with an externally balanced high performance forged crank. Has dual bolt pattern, 10 in. and 11-1/8 in. SFI spec 29.1 approved, NHRA and IHRA legal for all classes. SFI certification sticker included (re-certification required every 3 years). Ideal for street applications to extreme duty racing and high RPM (above 6,000) use. B&M’s new Radial Tension Technology puts a new spin on flexplate technology. As engine performance levels increase, stronger flexplates become necessary. Until this point, stronger flexplates meant thicker flexplates. This works, but it adds unwanted weight and prohibited the flexplates from working as it was designed. Flexplates are designed to provide a protection against converter and transmission run out or OEM misalignment, which will cause transmission and/or converter failure. A rigid flexplate gives no protection. The ultimate design for a flexplate is extreme strength, flexibility and minimal weight. B&M’s new RTT performance flexplate accomplishes this goal. B&M’s design allows for the removal of unnecessary material from non-critical stress areas. Less material means less weight giving you the benefits of a lightweight, flexible design with thicker material for maximum strength!

Product Features:
  • NHRA and IHRA Legal For All Classes
  • Includes SFI Certification Sticker
  • Ideal For Street Applications
  • To Extreme Duty Racing
  • To High RPM Use

Starter; Chrysler 318-440 Engines

from

$379.99
Our advanced power system line has grown to include starters. Our new APS starter is designed to crank over the highest compression engines on a hot day in Death Valley.

The armature is balanced during assembly and is guided by two ball bearings for smooth engagement and thousands of starts. The downsized housing clears most headers and oil pans, but just in case, we made the billet mount so it can be clocked in different positions to help in tight applications. The assembly is powder coated MSD red and will stay looking good, even though it’s underneath your car.
