My car looks and runs GREAT! Just some time it starts real fast, other times it takes a little longer, and other times it takes 2-3 times to start the car. Other than that the car runs great!

So me and my dad were gonna do this, any suggestions?

My IROC

 

My only suggestion is to take the wires and coil back and get something better.

 

We didnt buy anything yet, we went there and got a estimate, so what should I get madmax?

I wouldn't go with those plugs or wires.

Well what would you guys go with?

AC Delco plugs, probably R43TS would be a good starting point
MSD coil (I prefer Stinger ignition... mainly cuz I know the guy , but hard to find)
Taylor wires
Any good cap and rotor that has brass contacts and decent cap material, I forget the actual name of the material. The stuff Accel sells is good, or if someone carries Standard Ignition Blue Streak stuff
Skip the module, you probably dont need one

Right now I have an msd cap, rotor, coil, wires, and bosch platinum plugs. I got the plugs because they were the shortest ones I could find, next time I will go back to ac delco rapidfires or possibly try the +4s.

 

have the ignition modual tested before u spend that money on it.

88' GTA 350 MODS---> air foil, K&N, Shift Kit, 180* therm, TB bypass

 

I'd go with all MSD ignition and the AC Delco plugs.

Yeah, for that price you could get MSD 6AL and Summit spiral core wires with some AC plugs. Why soak all that money into an inductive dischage ignition when you could get a CD box for the same money.

CD box - 170
Wires - 32

Get a good MSD coil to match, might as well get the cap too.

$50 for platinum 4's? What a gimmick.

Damn,think someones getting raped with those plugs,i mean i like em and all but i paid about a little more than $3 a plug.Id never pay like $50 for plugs,mine ran me like $25-maybe $30.But i have the +4plugs,with accel 8.8 wires,and a hypertech coil cap and rotor,and i love the set up,better throttle response,better gas mileage,and easier to start.

MSD cap and rotor, MSD coil, MSD wires, Holley ignition module, and forget about wasting money on any other plug besides good old AC Delco. Not like you're going to want to leave the platinums in for 100,000 miles, and longevity is their only advantage aside from their tendency to cause autoignition in performance engines (If you like knock). A spark is a spark. I haven't had too much luck with all my Accel stuff. Just my $0.02.
