MSD or CRANE HI-6?

What do you prefer and why? I'm trying to choose one or the other. My car is just for street use. Nothing competitive. It's a 1987 GTA 5.7. Bored .020 a mild cam and headers. Nothing to crazy.

Thanks

I suggest stock. Reasoning is because that car wont notice a differance. Get into a power adder or high compression, then you may want to think about it.

I would upgrade the coil to an MSD unit or something, Replace the pick-up coil inside the distributor and check the ignition module. With that done, get a good brass cap and rotor, some good wires and AC plugs. You should be all good to go then.
