Default Ingnition systems....

Hey guys I was planning on buying an MSD ignition some time down the road but then I saw this ignition system from pertronix and was wondering whether the pertronix was any different being that it is $100+ more. Here are the links....

First off, the Pertronix ingitor thing is only around $100. How can it be more then a MSD?

Go to the link its not the part that goes under the distributor. That part is only like 60 or 70 bucks.

oh, ok. If you already have the original distributor, i would go with the ignitor and install it in the dizzy. Much cheaper, and the same thing as that whole dizzy, just looks original. I'd go with the ignitor 2 and flamethrower 2 coil.

I cant really tell. To be honest, it's been awhile, and cant remember how good it ran before. IM SURE it is better though. Because, i also gapped out my spark plugs too. for more power.

MSD if you are going for all out performance, otherwise the pertronix is fine.
