Thats what I was going to say but if you are going to get a MSD box and coil, why wouldnt you get the distributer with it.

I've read that the stock dizzy is very good, but for looks alone the billet MSD is a good choice.

You will get much better throttle response, also better spark means better milage I think.

New distributor and stuff is a good idea. Ford stuff ok when new but wears out. Remember Ford has whole buildings full of 'bean counters' trying to build stuff for less money and if they can build it cheaper they sure will.......
