NGK or splitfire plugs, I like MSD coils, but the gaint yellow accel ones look the best. Just buy the fatest wires you can find. I like Accel and MSD.

Motorcraft or Autolite plugs and coil. Motorcraft wires. The aftermarket stuff does not last as long. Looks purdy tho.

Stick with the stock Motorcraft ignition module. If you have a problem with the MSD it is hard and $$ to get a replacement and it is sometimes difficult to get one tested at the parts store. The Motorcraft ign module has a retarded ignition timing function for easier starts also. The Motorcraft module is available at most parts stores. Mount it 1/4" off of the fender with spacers to allow cooling air under it.
