So I need to replace my blaster 2 MSD coil. It only has two weekends on it. Oil is coming out from inside the tower. What are some suggestions? 454 with 049 heads. About 10:1 compression. MSD 6A box. 20.5 mini cruiser. Single 750 carb. Air gap manifold. Thanks guys.

Wouldn't change to different, just buy a new one. Ran a blaster 2 on the blower motor all last season with no problem at all.

What kind of distributor are you running? Depending on your setup, if you were to leave the ignition on it could cook the coil and cause it to leak. I blew the top of one last summer...
