I have an MSD ignition box left over from when my car had a 2.0 /4 ... should I try to use that or just stick to the stock CDI that came with my 2.7L six? Seems easier to hook up the MSD but I don't know. Also, with the MSD would I have to wide the gap of the new bosch plugs I got, I think they come gapped like .07 or something like that. Also, will the stock coil (black) even work with the MSD or would another be needed?

Full Version: Stock CDI or MSD ignition...
Most of us use the MSD with the six. either will do the job.
My personal thoughts are:
If I have a stock CD box and nothing else, I use it (i.e. maybe it came with the engine or something).
But MSD makes a better Box. Remember the technology of a stock CD box is 30+ years old and the box might well be that old as well. I like the MSD units. The car will start easier.
MSD if I have a choice.
But there is nothing wrong with the stock CD box either.

OK sounds good to me... what about the coil and sparkplug gap?
