I dunno what a hyfire is but......

At risk of repeating meself, I use an MSD unit and one of their hot coils....the high vibration unit that one can mount in any position. .....no resistor. I do carry an extra rotor around as this set-up has been known to let the magic smoke out of rotors tho I haven't had the problem...yet.

A Blue coil won't supply the high voltage throughout the rpm
range to fire a plug gapped to .045.....that gap is the reason for all this biddness. 8.5mm Magnecore wires (or their equivilent) are good for keeping this voltage going to the right place.

This stuff really works. Fouled plugs are a thing of the past.
