I've had my MSD 6AL installed for4 yrs. now with no problems. I tucked mine on the cowl behind the A/C unit with access from the removeable fender grille.

Wow, nice car! I didn't realize it was a big block until I went to your site. I was about to recommend a smaller cam. :lol:

Re: MSD Ignition Good And Bad?? (A C)
Is there any difference between the MSD noise suppression unit ($30) and the Radio Shack unit ($15)? Reason for this is I have a Radio Shack in town but would have to order the MSD unit and wait a few weeks.

Re: MSD Ignition Good And Bad?? (gdh)
I don't have dyno figures to prove anything. So this is just my experience. A well tuned car does not do anything better with any kind of MSD. No matter who the vendor is.
I never have gained a 100-200 rpm at idle with any kind of box engauged. They only multi spark to @3000 I have used MSD 6AL on now a Crane digital. I notice no difference. I only use then as a rev limiter.
I don't have a choke on my Demon carbs and i have ran it with and without a MSD and nothing changes. I do believe in the best Dist/coil/wires/plugs.
