New here chasing some issues

[Lamont AKA Big dummy]

Hello,I'm old but new to hot rods. Been a motorcycle guy. I have a 68 barracuda,. We build a 496 stroker from a kit I got from 440 source. Currently running a pertronix vacume advance. Was told by a member here when he came and bought some parts at my house to join this group,and buy an msd with mechanical advance. He told me his name on here but I can't remember. Something with red in it I think. What msd will work well with a bb 496 stroker please. And thank you for having me.

Ii think I saw one somewhere, I'm leaning for the whole msd set up. Just wanted some thoughts before I pull the trigger.

Does your car have a dist. at all? or are you just looking for an upgrade?
Is your car a 383 S vert? if so and you`ve been to Roy`s cruise in, I`ve seen your car and have talked to you a bit. I own the blue 52 Dodge business coupe. Good luck.

Personally not a big MSD fan with all the issue they are having. Look into the petronix 510 box mated with a curved factory mopar dist. Tons of other options out there. It will save you some serious money. Also are you just running it on the street usually? Driving habits are really what you want the ignition set up to.
