340-6 all stock - do I stay with a Pertronix type igntion? or MSD unit? or? Not concerned if it looks stock or not. Just want something reliable.
Thanks!

If you have the Pertronix right now I would stay with it. My preference is a regular older (non Mallory) MP dist/HEI module/E coil.

I have some aftermarket crap on there now, and was gonna go with the Pertronix, but it's been awhile so I didn't know if there was a new flavor of the day for ignition systems.

I would always carry a spare ECU. & If useing a RTR type, a complete points dist setup in the trunk if it craps out.

I've been installing and running Pertronix systems on my toys and customers projects since the early 90's....I can honestly say I've never had an issue with a system I installed....proper installation and compatible components are key to avoiding issues
Mike I think you and Moparx are right. I've ran the Pertronix before on an AAR and a Demon 340 and no issues. I'll probably run that on this new to me T/A. Like I said, I've been outta the hobby car wise for a few years and didn't know if there was a new kid on the block. I had previously also heard good things about the MSD setup. Thanks to all that responded!
