sounds like you should do plug wires first. Get good ones so you can have em a while. I think it cost me 50-90$ for pliers and a make-my-own set of msd red ?mm set a few years ago and they've served me well and left me with tons of extra parts to fix anything I need to.

I'm in sacramento, and have a spare msd 6a if you wanna swap ignition systems, but I doubt it's a box. Most likely parts and shocks are never good.

Hit me up on PM and I'd be happy to help if I'm not bumping the thread.
