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?

 

what application is this for? From what ive seen the stock ignition on a fc is pretty good.

 

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.

 

hks twin-power maybe....
maybe iliketoeatricers will chime in. he seems to be having great luck with his hks...

 

Crane hi-6 or msd 6a will do fine. hks is kinda pricey

 

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.

 

new struts and springs are going to be put in, thinking about 100 or 120, and I'm ordering a exhaust kit from rb

 

What about on a TII, that will be making about 350rwhp?

 

What will?

 

how about the new aem c2id?? http://www.aempower.com/product_ems.asp please scroll down to mid page.
will run split timing on rotary http://www.aempower.com/faq.asp?sid=35

this is what i would buy if i ever buy ignition amplifier.

 

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.
