I use 6AL in my lil truck, insurance is nice I've used 6AL's in a few things (a Road Runner included actually) and always had great luck. Made my Charger idle better too...helping to burn all the fuel from the six-packs that always tended to run a little fat at idle.

Is your distributor recurved or stock? 1970 Plymouth 'Cuda #'s 440-6(block in storage)currently 493" 6 pack, Shaker, 5 speed Passon, 4.10's 1968 Plymouth Barracuda Convertible 408 Magnum EFI with 4 speed automatic overdrive, 3800 stall lock-up converter and 4.30's (closest thing to an automatic 5 speed going)

I'd get the HyFire 6AL, it is digital has a built in single stage rev limiter. The MSD 6AL is analog and you need to buy chips for to operate the rev limiter. I'd also go for one of the recommended Mallory coils so you know everything is compatabile. They have several models OK for a street car, from a OEM appearing canister coil to an E coil.
