Thanks to a different connector, not all Gen III engines will accept the MSC, PN 8245 Coil (Kit PN 82458). For those applications, we’re introducing the MSC II Coils! These Coils have all of the same features of the PN 8245 Coil plus mount in the factory location and accept the factory connectors. Basically, this Kit works on all LS1/LS6 engines, while older PT# 82458 will only work on LS1 and LS6 engines

Finally a performance replacement coil for the popular Gen III GM small block! This engine, most notably the LS-1 and LS-6, is fast becoming a favorite performance engine. But, not just in Camaros, the new GTO and Corvettes - also in muscle cars and street rods.

The complex electronic controls of the original coils presented the aftermarket with a challenge as the drivers that control the firing of the coils are built into the OE models. MSD engineers were able to design an advanced circuit that will operate with the factory electronics of the Gen III engine controls while producing a higher output spark. Not only do you get a higher voltage spark, but the coil will deliver multiple sparks! That’s right - multiple spark discharge coils! Notice that the coil has two connectors molded into the custom housing.

One accepts the factory coil connector, the other is for an upcoming ignition controller. (This controller is still in the development stages but it will allow you to program functions of the ignition. We’re planning a lot more for the Gen III fans!) The new coils mount in place of most factory LS-1 and LS-6 coils.
