I'm getting a longer spark, weaker current.

I'm running NGK5 series spark plugs- would a larger gap support this longer, weaker current. It seems ok now.

Do you or anyone know of a secret hiding spot for the Bosch transformers - the black ones, made in Spain or Germany?
Can you please describe how you determined/measured (scope/current probe) the "weaker current", as indicated in the above post? Thanks

Yes, the MSD 8222 is a good replacement for the original small Bosch black coil. As linked to in post #6 (maybe missed it), here're the coil's parameters;

MSD Blaster (8222) - R(primary) = 1.1 ohms, R(secondary) = 4700 ohms, N = 95, L(primary) = 4.2 mH, L(secondary) = 38 H
