Hi, I'm considering the option of buying a 408W street fighter crate motor from CHP, and was wondering what ignition box, coil, and distributor that i should fire a motor like this with??...(I will probably go with either MSD or Crane, but would like to know which particular unit would be good for this 408 carbed motor)??...any opinions/ideas are greatly appreciated...thanx

any one of those systems should be good for that motor.
Personally, I run an MSD setup in my car. A friend of mine as a 70 F-100 mud truck with a crane HI-6 and his runs great. Either one is fine.
