you can't beat MSD. Whether its a built up motor or one that is stock, they have some great parts. I installed a blaster 2 coil, 8.5 mm wires and a ready-to-run dizzy on my jeep a few years back when it was stock and I noticed a world or difference. Better start up, better throttle responce, less time messing with the timing. Even now with my motor built up, it works great. Over all, MSD is good.

If it's appearance that you are concerned with, go with the Mopar conversion, it looks like it belongs there.

Got any pics of the beast?

Thanks, I'll check it out. I've never put pix on the computer, when I get someone to show me how, I'll post some.
