seems like a rip off to me. 200 bucks?

I got my Ignitor and coil for 100 bucks, then a set of plug wires for 30 (good accel plug wires), and cap and rotor for about 20. Im not sure really where the other 50 bucks goes.

What's a "Ford Racing Wide Cap," I couldnt find it on their website.

A wide cap is supposed to spread the terminals apart to eliminate crossfire. So you guys suggest buying this stuff seperatly. In the book I can get an Ignitor II for $120. Then if I bought that, what else would I need, wires and a cap and the coil? What would you guys suggest, I don't wanna spend over $250-$300 total. thanks

I have the Pertronix Ignition Module and the Pertronix coil on my 'Stang. I love it! No more points!!! Of course, I did that about 2-3 years ago...

If you are going the Pertronix route, consider the Pertronix II and the flamethrower II. 45,000 instead of 40,000. A little more spark.......
