Help me figure out which mod to do with my birthday money once I get it.

I am running with a broken dizzy with no spark/vacuum advance. Would upgrade to electric and ignition module. (run better)
I am running a 1.75" pipe to a 2" outlet cherrybomb glasspack with a single outlet. (sound better) I don't know what I will go with. Probably something cheap.

I'm liking the sound of the Thrush Welded mufflers.

These sound like a truck to me: http://www.thrushexhaust.com/sounds/turbo.html

Honestly one of the best, most reliable upgrades I've ever made to my engine was installing an MSD ready to run pro billet distributor. Have yet to encounter problem 1 with that thing.

i'd recommend swapping dizzys. if your budget is tight you can grab a duraspark II and ignition box from a junk yard for cheap cheap and it will work really well.

you could always donate the cash towards my engine, J/K.

I would go with getting the dizzy fixed.

New distributor. When I swapped out my old, but perfectly working Pertronix 2 to the DSII unit from Classic Inlines, it felt like I swapped in a new engine..

I can get the DSII parts for less than half of what CI wants to charge. So I am doing that if I do that. I am either going with the Duraspark module or MSD 6A module.

I will get new or remanufactured parts. Don't think there is a junkyard around here that would have it. I'll check just to see.
