    Astro ignition coil

    Has anybody ever heard of this? I bought this with some other parts I bought a few years ago. It appears to be a badass ignition coil and billet aluminum. I bought this from the guy that made it in Boise ID. Dan Wiseman I believe his name was.

    EDIT: He marketed these as the "Astro" ignition coil. I have yet to try it as it's out of my league just like everything else I bought from him. The guy was brilliant.

    Would have to do a bit more searching. The website listed was not fruitless.

    Looks like a standard MSD Blaster coil shoved into a billet housing.

    Re: Astro ignition coil

    Thanks Wayne. The builder of these gave me one of these since it was for his project that I bought. He was unable to finish it due to health issues. He graciously gave me a 2 hour tour of his garage and showed me his project car (plus many other things); a "streamliner" that he intended to go racing at Bonneville with. It was an awesome day to say the least. Epic.

    There's one on ebay that is a mini beer keg style. Says AstroCoil in the ad.
    Not for the faint of heart though... was listed at like $229!
