Oh yeah, no doubt, but he has the money, and it runs great.

I'd rather spend it on head work and a cam, then intake, headers, and exhaust.

I'll second RAZMATAZZ, I swapped a duraspark II into my 85 f150 and it made a world of difference. I did gain power (timing wasn't advancing before), and it runs a lot smoother. Got the wiring harness, module, coil, and distributor for like $15 at a junkyard, and bought a reman carb at parts store for like $80. I probably would've paid double for everything.
