MSD 8225 or 8226?

Just wondering what the difference is, and which one i'd need, i'm running a non-cc q-jet setup, with typical old school HEI.
I *think* it'd be the GM coil, 8226 ($77), rather then the HEI coil ($126)... but i'm a little confused, as I have a GM HEI....?
Also, think it'd be worth upgrading to, without any other real ignition mods?

Thanks -J

8226 is for points, 8225 is for HEI

Damn. ok, thanks, I just never noticed the "two prong" dealie on the top of my current coil...
Is this a worthwhile upgrade with a stock ignition module?

Probably not unless your stock coil is bad. An aftermarket coil and module might not be a bad idea though.
