MSD. I hope someone chimes in about the MSD TFI modules though, I hear that, though every other part of the distributor is bullet proof that their TFI modules are sub par.

no need for an aftermarket dizzy with a street car, and me and my friends have had problems with aftermarket coils going bad.

i'd get stock stuff.

I've had good luck with Screamin' Demon coil and their 5.0 Dyna-Mod TFI module.

Right now i'm running a Malory Unilite disy with a stock EFI coil...works great. I'll be running a Malory Comp 9000 disy this summer though (once i get to work and put it in) but i'm not sure about a better coil yet. I'm also gonna look into an ignition box so that i've got some kind of rev limiter.

I am going to go with a crane HI-6 CD ignition , they have the HI-6S (inductive) which is about as good as the MSD6AL , with coil and wiring harness for $169 from summit , part number is 6000-6301

if you want the HI-6 CD kit you have to get these 3 numbers

6000-6440 $215.95 ignition
6000-6707 $19.88 harness
730-0092 $69.88 coil

Total $305.71

My stock dizzy has been working flawless on my setup up until when I dropped it on the ground when I was doing some engine work. I replaced it with a billet one from ebay and that's been doing fine also. If it were me, I'd get a stock dizzy, they work fine. You're not going to find any performance gains by upgrading a distributor.
