Distributor for performance?
I have a '91 F150 with a EFI 5.0 engine in it. I was thinking about replacing my Motorcraft Distributor with a MSD or another plug and play type. Is there any performance gain in doing so? What is the best bang for the buck?

There is no performance gain other than the weight loss in your wallet.

Best bang for the buck? Stock Ford/Motorcraft on an otherwise stock engine.

Spend your money on a tuneup with good quality parts, bump the timing a few degrees (free).
