Question, why do you have the MSD blaster for any specific reason ? What has been done to the b16 that a hotter spark is required .

How is it not starting? Is it even cranking? or just clicking? Is the fuel pump priming? Are you getting spark or compression? I agree with Driv-it-hard, those MSD caps/external coils are known for causing problems compared to the OEM ignition.
