Is performace cap and rotor a waste of money?
I'm doing a general tune up on my 305 tpi next weekend and need to know if a performance cap and rotor like the hypertech power coil is actually worth the extra money. Thanks!

Go for quality brass on the cap & rotor.

...Edit: Question, do you need an external coil and if so what would be a proper coil for a stock '92 5.7TPI?
