Would it be worth it for me to pay the extra money for a high end ignition and distributor system for a weekend warrior, or is a stocker dizzy all I really need? I don't really have an extreme build, so how much advantage is a stronger ignition going to give me?

Just stick with the stock stuff. I only went with the MSD dizzy because I needed it for the swap. But I'm using the stock coil and autolite plugs. I personally can't tell a difference in a 10 horsepower increase.

Not at all. Surprising though, I thought it was a popular swap
