title pretty much says it all. i'm shopping for an affordable high output ignition. i'm looking at the crane and a pro comp one. i know the crane seems to be more popular and i am more familiar with the crane brand name. procomp sells one that is identical to the msd 6al just different color and labeling. the procomp is cheaper. so any ideas, comments?

I'de really like to throw the HI6-R ignition in this mix also. They seem very reasonably-priced for being CD style ignitions. Hopefully others will chime in on this one. All I can say for you though is don't get a no-name part for something so important in a vehicle - stick with the names you know: MSD, Crane, Mallory, ect.

bump...........

i bought a new billet distributor recently and i did a little research first. i bought a procomp billet and it is identical to the msd exexcept the color and the packaging. i on't think the procomp ignition would be a risky item, but i want an ignition that is imple to install. the 6al requires cutting and splicing, correct?

I know some are more complicated than others. A lot of ignition setups want their distributors to me mated with their ignition control boxes - so I know what you are talking about. With regards to the cutting and splicing, Quite a few "direct hookup" harnesses are out there for a simply plug-n-go type of connection. From the research I have been trying to do personally I do know that crane has adapters for whatever type of stock ignition to aftermarket units are out there for about $20. MSD may have the same thing, but like the thread says, I am also more personally interested in the crane HI6 series however................

Just as a side note: Most people will tell you that on a N/A'd car, the stock ignition will work just fine. It's only when you start adding forced indcution that a box is required. Now, with the legal junk out of the way.... see my signature.
