I just installed the MSD6A ignition on my wagon; the car already had the Pertronix Ignitor and Flamethrower coil and was running much better than with the stock points.
The MSD ignition totally smoothed out the idle on the car; it literally feels like a brand new (modern) car (doesn't smell like one, though;).

Acceleration is smooth, smooth, smooth, and performance when cold is also more consistent.

I have no data yet on any acceleration improvement, my rush hour commute didn't permit me to bury my foot in the accelerator after the engine was fully warmed up, but a little driving around side streets felt promising.

I'm sorry I didn't convert to CD ignition years ago.
