I was wondering what ignition systems people are running.
I was thinking about ACCEL 8.8 customs ( but would rather get a set if already available for the Bonnie )
and Splitfire sparkplugs.. I keep hearing that Bosch Platinums and +4 are horrid..
And MSD DIS 4...
I know I would need to upgrade all these for NOS.. but do they really make a difference ( minus the fact that at least you know that it'* more reliable ) for non-NOS application ??
P.*.
I heard somewhere that there is an aftermarket ignition systems that you can set the rev limiter to ( by killing the sparks instead of fuel ). I"m inquring because I would rather have that system in especially if I plan on going with NAAWWWZZZZZ
.. the last thing I need is to have the fuel leaned out while it'* still dumping in NOS.. that would over rev the engine.. and ka-Boom !!!!!

You won't ever find another Bosch on my cars. I have problems with electrode erosion. I run NGK V-max instead of splitfire. Same results, more durable, and the same results.

I would like to replace my Bosch +4'* but I can't afford another set of high quality sparkplugs right now.
Hmhh unless I don't buy one of my school books. That might work out and I don't really need that 40 dollar book.
