High Performance ignition

Just curious, but what would anyone suggest on a high performance ignition?? I was thinking about MSD or Accel, but there are quite a few different models to choose from. I recently bought a 1985 F-250 4x4 long bed extended cab. It has a 460 and a 3 speed automatic tranny. Thanks guys.

I'm running the MSD 6AL with the Blaster 2 coil. The AL has the built in rev limiter.

If your going to be running your truck hard or going to headers, cam, carb, ect, this is the set up I would recommend.

I think you will find the majority of performance builders prefer the MSD units.

Ditto what they said, just be aware of the resitor wire from the ignition switch.
