I'm getting ready to do a complete tune up on my car. I was thinking of a msd blaster coil and msd cap and rotor and new taylor plug wires 10.4 mm over a stock coil,cap,rotor and 8mm plug wires. I would like to hear what you engine guru's think . I want to thank you for your time and your comments.
