Should i upgrade ignition

[Dusterguy]

I have stock style ignition box and Blaster 2 coil. Should i get MSD 6AL box or something better than stock box? Car runs ok but just think would there be gained hp´s with better box..

this is my combo:

360LA -75 0.030 overbored
KB107 pistons
10.1 to 1 compression
596 number heads, 2.01 intake valve, cant remember exhaust valve dia. Ported
Comp Extreme Energy 282 duration
Crane roller rockershaft 1.5
Edelprock RPM intake
600 Edelbrock carb with vacuum secondaries
Homemade shorty-type headers, 1 5/8 primary

The easiest addition without hacking up your wiring is an MSD Stacker (original for distributor engines). I got a new one cheap on ebay. An HEI module is cheap and would give a slight improvement, plus lose the ballast and run a better E-core coil (see posts), but you would need to hack the factory harness.

You'll get a wide range of varied opinions on this topic, all with their pros and cons. I opted to go this relatively inexpensive route, explained by another FABO member, Slant Six Dan. I sprung for an AC Delco unit, mounted with the heat sink under the distributor. Lost the fender-mounted ECU and hollowed out the resistor. Now without too close an inspection, it looks like the point setup out of the factory.
