billet msd advise needed.
going to go ahead and fortify the distributor, wires and covers. which msd billet hei would yall recomend? im looking at one on the summit site which is an hei for 159. also im going with the 8.5 as well as the covers this time. i messed my last $100, 8.5`s up when i could have saved them with the right protection. also im going with some autolight ( dont have the number) plugs. my racing buddy suggested them. what is your take on all the above mods? `90 383 6speed

ive got a 90 L-98, 383, went with MSD billet I think its no. 8366 i can look later, anyway, it has a smaller cap. Very nice product. Required use of adapters for the wiring, available at www.Jimesperformance..com Just call him, he is helpful.
The smaller diameter cap was great for the Superram fitment. Also required external blaster coil. im not sure of the one you are looking at. MSD tech rep told me none of their distributers would work on my car. Thus, adapters...
There is a thread or two on this issue if the search works.

no. but from all iv read its going to take some chip work. due to the new cam profile and how the map ( `90 model ) reads the newly created vacum pressures. which a stock ecm cant either compensate for or understand. so im going with the pcm for less guys. for $150 if it works its a small price. as for as the ignition project been wanting to do that. seems my factory dist makes to much noise. i already have a msd6a box with 8.5 wires and stock hei.
