Encased in a metal canister and potted with epoxy, this coil protects its windings from vibration and impact. It meets CARB Executive Order approval for emissions compliance and is supplied as a single black unit for easy replacement or single-coil upgrades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the MSD 8222 improve ignition performance?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis coil is designed with a 100:1 turns ratio and a lower primary resistance to produce higher secondary voltage compared with many stock coils. The increased voltage helps the ignition system generate a more robust spark across a variety of engine speeds and loads, benefiting combustion consistency without changing ignition timing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e100:1 turns ratio for higher secondary voltage output\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReduced primary resistance to increase energy transfer\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with most electronic ignition systems for straightforward upgrades\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy is the canister construction important for high-vibration use?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe metal canister is fully potted with epoxy to stabilize and shield the internal windings.
