Great answers everyone. That helps a lot.

I have an MSD 6A sitting on the self that I want to try out along with a Nology high energy coil I just purchased (which I now realize requires a CD ignition to function properly).

Dave,
You mention the need for an amplifier for the signal to the fuel pump relay. MSD sells a Tach Adapter... do you know if that is an item that can be used to cure this issue or does that do something different? (I have heard of the dummy coil trick, but I don't particularly like the idea).
Thanks,
Dave Barton

....The other issue I know about with MSD units is they don't source a powerful enough rpm signal to drive the k-jetronic fuel pump relay. If you aren't using k-jet then you are fine but if you need to supply that fuel pump relay you'll have to add an amplifier or a dummy coil to help amplify the signal. Happy rolling!
