Short answer Yes, if you want the best over all match to the 7al2 then use the MSD 8251 coil most popular shops retail it around $135.00. If your currently running the MSD 8201 coil Please get it swapped out before next season.

I have went thru 2 8261 coils with 7AL3 box The 8201appears to be similar higher output is it more reliable? I have the 8251 in the car now and have never had an issue with it. when I went to the 8261 I saw nothing back to back runs.

I have a msd digital 6, and was wondering what coil you would suggest since msd says the 8251 is just for the 7 series and up boxs? i also have a 7al2 that i'm currious if a modified 7al2 and 8251 coil would provide better results the my digital 6?

Tech West,

I have an older 1997 or 1998 model MSD 7AL-3. Can you checkout the box to confirm that there are no issues with it and perform any upgrades that occurred over the years? Also, do you recommend the 8201 or 8251 with the 7AL3 boxes?

Thanks
Manny
