    Ok here we go I need some help.

    I have a 1971 Maverick 302 slightly worked 10:1 Mild cam but street driven. not looking for a car to drag race, but I am looking for reliablity & dependalbilty.


    Do you guys think Electronic Ignition is better or MSD Ignition?

    Thanks for all your help;
    Joe

    MSD.... I also believe that MSD offers different types of ingnition systems, for street, performance, or racing. especially for the 302

    I vote Pertronix and a standard coil.

    For a carbed application, I vote the Pertronix with a standard coil as well or a Duraspark system.:yup:
