nothing wrong with the stocker if in good repair
MSD all the way for me as im' not a purist
you can change the cap to a traditional one from msd also....jmo...good luck.....

you can actually tailor the curve with the parts included and the curve sheet already included and the spec's are dead on without a sun machine..good stuff....
