How much will a new ignition box help?

I currently have a stock 305tbi 91 RS, but will be switching to 350 in a few months. I need new cap rotor and plugs. I was thinking of getting a new box too, but how much will it help me with a stock engine? Should i skip the box and just get cap, rotor, coil, wires? If i do just buy new msd stuff, without the box....what else will i need to install?

Is your 350 coming with or without a distributor? I would first do the plugs,wires and cap & rotor if it already comes with a distributor. If it doesn't come with one and u want ur igition to be all MSD then go with the MSD Billet Dist. If the pros like MSD then it must be good ya know? Then do the wires,plugs and the Distributor will comes with a MSD Cap & Rotor. Also, remember to do the coil. MSD makes a Blaster coil for GM HEI cars. I have one on mine and I like it. I have all MSD stuff on my igition too. I don't have the 6AL box yet though. I don't think I really need it for this 305. You might want to get it though. It helps your engine at higher RPM's, where the stock igition would cut out. Good for 350's that has a rev limit of around 5500 or 6000. I like the MSD stuff. Made my car run smoother and feels better at higher rpm's. I say go for it. I got pictures and stuff of all that MSD stuff on my car at that second website below in my sig if u want to take a look. E-mail me if u want to see a picture of the MSD Cap & Rotor.
