    What he said. Ever open up an MSD box and have a look-see? Way too much money for what you're getting. If you must go MSD, try the digital 6.

      Thus the reason you installed a Hi-6, I presume? I did some reading on different forums a couple weeks ago or so, and was unable to really find anything bad about the Crane ignition. Lots of differing stories about MSD, though.

                I loved my 6AL. Anyways, I might be interested in buying that cable. Let me know.

                I might explore other ignition options like the Mallory as well.

                Scott, that's funny. The thing always shifted real nice for me!!!

                  i think mallory makes better stuff. just my .02 cents. you know, mallory even makes a nice complete distributor with the ignition module for efi 302s my friend had one on his f250 with the 351. no problems with it in 3 years.

                            Before you go spending money on a carb, hook up the tweecer and see what it has to tell you. You've already spent the money on the tool, may as well use it. If it needs a tune, I'd bet that you can find someone with a dyno to do the tune for a fair bit less than a carb will cost you. From a financial standpoint, it makes more sense to use what you already own and make it do what you want than spend a bunch of money and time going to a completely different fuel system.
