they all basically do the same thing, except one model or other models might have more bells and whistles to it
i haven't had problems with the 6a's
no rev limiter
but i dont care
valve float has stop rev limiting on me in the past
i also never had a mega powered machine, just you basic add ons and what not
the digital 6 is nice, but could be overkill
don't get caught up in the extra 300 rpms of multi-sparks it can produce, or the higher spark output
i didn't notice a difference, other then the starting retard, when i went from the 6 to the digi6

Autos break driveshafts, and u joints too. I would get the 6AL. A bit more money, but cheap insurance, IMO. Reguardless of what you buy, mount it in a cool place, or where it will get some airflow.

if you're going with MSD-6-whatever, make sure you get the MSD wiring harness. it made hookup so much simpler. I was getting geared up to have to wire up power and everything, and the MSD wiring harness took care of that. so easy. my car's a '90. not sure if there's differences, check the MSD web-site.
