Not a question about my Trans Am but one for those of us that have a old school as well.I want to buy a MSD box and dist. for my 77 camaro which now have a Accel dist. with performance coil and wires that came with the cap.Will the MSD setup really make a differance? don't want to spend money if it's not going to help me.

I installed a 6AL and MSD coil on my Nova and it helped run smoother and eliminated a miss and helped keep the power from dropping off at higher RPMs. Have no dyno proof but it ran better. Not sure if it were worth the $300, but it was good.

Man I sure hated to hear

that they closed the motorsports park down,my wife and I made the Super chevy shows and the muscle car show every year. thanks for the infro. I think I'll keep the setup I have, the car runs great, but always looking for more. Where do you guys run now?

Hopefully we'll be able to run back at the Park when it reopens in the Spring. Someone purchased it a couple of weeks ago for a rediculously good deal and is talking about reopening it.
