Thanks Walt. I'm trying to decide if I should build this car with an
ignition box right from the start. When I go to car shows, I see plenty of
these muscle cars with MSD or Mallory boxes hanging from the firewall. They
seem to be reasonably priced.

Thanks Larry,
As far as your ign box goes. I don't think there is a HP gain
tied to it unless you are having issues. But like I said, the car
started/ran cleaner. Definitely noticed the upgrade from stock HEI &
coil to MSD box and coil. Still running both 10-15 years later. The
6AL will get the job done. If you are looking to spend big $$$ the
digital series is very tunable.
