I would get the MSD 6A and the MSD Coil and MSD Wires. Forget the pulleys and get a cat back or chip, or anyhting else for a more noticeable gain...

Get the 6A i shoulda gotten that but i got the 6AL oh well too late get the MSD coil 30 bucks. And actualy Pullys make a big gain in power and in GAS MILAGE im getin 60+ more miles per tanke just dont use the alternator pully all it will do is cause problems.

they are, both have same degrees of crank rotation, same voltage. One just has a rev limiter, one doesnt.

Hypertech's website, http://www.hypertech-inc.com has the part numbers (I think). I've also seen some setups that use the MSD ignition box and Accel coil, so I'd say yeah, you can use it. I dumped my Accel supercoil for the MSD coil just to keep everything "matching"... plus I liked the red color

The part #'s in their downloadable Adobe Acrobat catalog. I'll save you the download time: '92 Camaro 3.1, power pullies = part # 3062 (2 pulley set), belt # 1080 . Summit carries them.

Of course you could've called to find all this out...! They're nice guys over there.

You don't need anything special for the 6A, 6AL, etc. You can buy once "nice" thing... the MSD dual-connector harness. This lets you plug your MSD 6-series box into your factory spark plug coil connector without cutting any wires. I bought it because I liked the idea of being able to unplug my MSD box and plug my stock coil back in. But it's a $22 part you don't really need. Good luck finding a mounting spot- that thing's a bitch!

I'm using a MSD 6AL w/an Accel coil. No problem. In the MSD booklet it tells you which coils are compatable w/the MSD box.
It's the "off-road" coils, for the most part, that will not work with MSD.
As far as pulleys; don't bother.The HP gain is neglegable.
