What's better????

When it comes to getting a better ignition, going with a spark amplifier like Crane Hi-6 or MSD vs. finding a distributor from a younger 7?

MSD. FC's don't have distributors. Have you looked under your hood?

A distributor would be a big step backwards.

I've got an 86 FC that's pretty much stock. I'm looking for ways to improve with a 5k budget.

Ignition is the last mod you should to to an FC NA for power. How about a cold air intake, downpipe and cat back exhaust? Then start playing with timing advance, maybe get some struts and springs.

Ignition mods do nothing for a stock FC NA.

for 622 bucks, i think i'll skip that one.

you dont need an igntion amp on a fc under 350-400 hp, but if you want one anyway, the crane hi-6 is the way to go, its cheap and proven to work.
