I am going to buy a igniton box soon, my mods are the same except I have recently added a typhoon intake and a mallory distributor. What igniton box and coil should I go with. Are any of the new summit ignitions good?? Open to all suggestions

MSD or mallory. The only reason I add mallory is because your allready running there dizzy.

I haven't heard anything bad about mallory. But i'am running msd coil and 6al box.

If doing a box, I would go Crane (it's what I have though).

FWIW, Summit's box is a Mallory as I recall.

I like the looks of the accel unit, plus it's all plug and play. I will be getting a dyno tune soon so they can get me all lined out as far as the timing retard, correct?

I was just curious if the digital boxes were better than the analog such as the MSD

i run the mallory 682 i think. it is the equivalent to the MSD 6 digital. with the Mallory box, you can buy an optional doohickey to attach to it for boost reference.
