Im looking at ignition boxes for my new motor and ive pretty much narrowed it down to the msd digital 6pluss ignition and the pertronix second strike system. I was wondering what you guys thought about these products and how you think i should buy. The second strike has the dual spark through the entire rpm range as the digital 6 does not. what do you guys think about both of them in terms of user friendliness and performance.

thanks,
Tommy

Sorry, I haven't personally used it.
I've had good luck with Crane solid state ignitions.

Ignitor experiance

The ignitor is pretty good but I had a problem with my first unit it died suddenly. Pertronix also makes an HEI unit you may be interested in.

Its seems that people rave about MSD, and say that Pertronix is crap. Im sure that MSD is very good and I havent had any problems with Pertronix yet
