So I decided to upgrade my ignition and to my benefit, I received 3mpg more and a stronger throttle response. See some photos for fun.

I have only seen some posts on MSD in passing on TB..could you give an explanation/reasoning behind what parts you chose to use, how you installed them, etc etc? Pricing might be nice too - and any disadvantages.

Thanks
Mike

Looks like a nice ride. Did you just add the MSD box? I was considering adding the same. I have one in my 65 Chevelle and like it a lot. How is it wired?

Thanks! I just added it about 320 miles ago. The wiring is really easy. The hardest part of installation was finding the room for the box. There are 3 main wires you wire up; one for the + on the coil one for the - on the coil and one for the tach. Its as easy as that!

Are you running the factory tach? Is there a noticable improvement in idle quality? Which model MSD are you running?

Mike, I had some issues producing a good idle and more ignition problems. I Know an awesome Volvo mechanic that suggested to do the MSD box. I chose the particular parts after calling MSD tech support. They explained to me everything that this performance ignition would do for me and which parts I needed. I ordered them from Summit Racing because they offered a Military Discount which saved me some money. I believe the coil was $36. and the box was $170. The instructions are all there and very easy. About 3 wires you actually have to hook up.
