Default Timing retard box, sparks??

Hello.

I wonder what timing retard box I´m going to use. Have MSD6AL and watching at the MSD 8975 box.
Will run it with FJO 2stage controller.

What sparks shall I use?

Going for a 175 shoot!

I run the B8EFS plugs 24 / 7 no problems ,the engine does run a little cooler.I tried the tr6 the electrode will burn off if you go lean at 150 to 175 shot been their done that,it will only cost you a valve.
