Spring tune up plans :Upgrading stock coil, recommendations?
I have decided to purchase a new coil, along with some general tune up parts for my 92 bird tbi. Before the end of last year I bought some Mallory high performance wires for my car.
I decided to stay with mallory for my new coil as well as distributor cap and rotor button. I have posted links to show exactly what i purchased, opinions would be welcomed.

Distributor cap: http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?autofilter=1∂=MAA-265M&N=700+0&autoview=sku
Rotor button: http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?autofilter=1∂=MAA-366&N=700+0&autoview=sku
I went with e3 spark plugs and a fram fuel filter as well to complete my spring tune up plans.
Will I see any horsepower upgrades with the new coil, or would it be about the same?
I was also thinking about upgrading my ignition system further with a mallory ignition box: http://store.summitracing.com/partde...-6852M&FROM=MG
Does anyone already have this setup? I know most people go with msd but i for some reason like mallory, no idea why.
Is there anything else I can do to increase power output besides dropping a 350 into it?

Ignition box isent worth it on a stock or stockish car.
Save your money on that.
Other then that, everything looks good. I tend to go MSD, but doesent matter much I dont think.
