Hey guys, I'm doing a h/c/i over the winter and figured I'd upgrade the ignition while I'm at it. AFR 185's, Edelbrock RPM upper and lower, custom cam and other assorted parts.

What is the best ignition to add to my car? I'm leaning towards MSD and wasn't sure which box and coil I should use. New wires will go in too.

you could do msd but i have seen pep go through those boxes like water. the technology is old and outdated too. compared to crane's fireball hi-6 flying past msd with colors double the peak spark wiht the lx-92 coil of the msd-6al plus a built in rev-limiter and trouble light. you geting the wires so spend the extra money and get it done right.

P.S the boxes and coils are pretty much universal
GOOD LUCK!!!!!!
