FBO or MSD what do you use?

wow a blast from the past thread again..lol


i never had a problem with the msd 6al. but had a digital 6 crap out on me..

here was my thought process when wanting to replace my bad digital 6.

i wanted something that if i broke down 3 hours from home is some east bumblefuck town that i could find parts for. to me any aftermarket ign is a big question mark in dept.

so i went with a FBO dist. and a stock replacement ecu. so far it runs great, car starts great hot, gets better mileage with the vac advance hooked up and if needed i should be able to get parts in a little town or at the very least a junk yard to get me home. i do always carry an extra coil,ecu and ballast resistor in the trunk.

i think i'm going to be putting a HEI module on it now though. i bought the bracket from http://www.designed2drive.com/. i figure that module is even easier to get then the chrylser parts, cheaper and its supposed to be better but who really knows about that one.. and on top of the other stuff it eliminates the ballast resistor so it has one less possible problem.


this way of thinking has me second guessing my fast efi purchase. thinking i may scrap that idea and just sell that set up before i spend another thousand dollars on the rest of the fuel system. my thoughts are that now i'll be adding an electric fuel pump which is another potential problem, and what happens if the main computer craps out on me? i'm screwed and god knows how long it would take to get a replacement. thinking i need to go with the K.I.S.S (Keep It Simple Stupid) method here... :)
