which ignition system???

which ignition system are you guys running? Im just starting to get my duck's in a row to start on my 390 rebuild. and was just wondering what one some of you like. I have a msd system on my torino(408w) that ive been happy with.

its going to be basically a stock rebuild. (depends of just how far gone it is now) but it won't be anything too radical.


I posted this in the "FE" section too but thought I should post up here because there seems to be more traffic

The stock Duraspark setup does great for all practical purposes.

im rockin the MSD 8595 in my FE, engine fired right up after sitting for like a year. I had just put new heads, intakemanifold, timing chain, the MSD, and a few other little things a couple days before I tryed to start it.
First time I tryed to start it, engine dident even turn over half way and fired right up!
