High performance ignition

I want to get a performance ignition system. I have heard of MSD and Jacbos. Which would be best? I have an 84 GSL. It's for street and occasional track use.

Also point me in the direction from where i could buy one. Online or in the area. I am located in the Greater Toronto Area.

Jacobs might be a little higher quality, but not worth the extra price. So I would say go w/ an MSD. You can get one cheap on ebay.

That's not how you spell it. If he tries to do a search, it won't come up with anything (or a lot less than if he had searched using DLIDFIS).

6 is fine
6AL has a rev limiter (which is what I have)
6BTM has a boost retard mechanism, and is very expensive.
