I believe that the general consensus is that on a stock N/A cis, car , there is no real performance gain to be had from MSD. Once you go to carbs, and start turning up the wick ,I believe MSD is very beneficial.
I know that the longer duration of the spark will help starting, and low rpm performance quite a bit, but at higher rpms right about where our boost comes on, and the MSD's main advantage of the longer spark duration goes away, is there any real performance benefit ? How much juice does a factory unit put out?
I am at a crossroads with my 76. I have My MSD unit all laid out on the workbench, and was planning on wiring it all up this weekend, but if there is no real performance gain to be had , I will just steal the 8 pin box out of my other car, and send mine out to have it repaired .
Having an early car, I am trying not to molest it too much,but of course the install of an MSD can be made completely reversible,
What do you guys think?
