Which coil for my EA82T

I'm going to purchase a new coil for my EA82T and was wondering what you guys think of the Universal Blaster 2 by MSD FOR $75 or a Crane PS60 performance coil at $100. Any opinions?

I went aftermarket (MEC717 for 85.86 flaper style 3 plug systems )and it lasted 12 months. Replaced with genuine that had to come from Japan in about 10 days, figuring the first one lasted 23 years, was on a good thing.

The one in yours will be same as any mpfi L Series with the transistor switching thing attached to coil bracket. Go after market at your peril !

Something about specification matching.

I prefer the Bosch GT40 coils in the EA engines

Replaced 21 year original with new Bosch unit from Falcon 6cyl

Much more compact unit however had to change lead as well as Bosch unit has male terminal on secondary and injector style connector on primary.
