The stock coil and distributor will work fine with a stock motor and even some minor mods. Go to a big cam, higher compression, headers, and an intake, you might want a coil with more output.
The 6AL won't really do anything to improve the stock system until you build some serious HP.

I had all the trick **** electrical on my 90 (high output coil, accel module, MSD 6AL). The msd failed and I had no idea what went wrong, I ended up going back to a stock set up since the coil was my last thing to eliminating everything and didn't notice a difference at all.
