Which model did you install?

How does that compare to the MSD aftermarket ignitions?

Thanks!

sounds like your original ignition system may not have been working correctly. Remember that the main purpose of having an aftermarket ignition is so you can run larger spark plug gaps. So make sure to get the gap setup with your new ignition so you can take the most advantage of it. I found larger gap made a noticeable difference on my car.

DOCO,

If you have the time, perhaps you could repost this in the PERFORMANCE section with pics and more details. I'm sure there are lots of people here, myself included, who would be interested.
