MSD's are expensive crap. Stock coils or truck coils

go with the truck coils, as they are better. unless you still have your stockers, there is nothing worng with them and will work just fine.

MSDs are WAY overpriced and any coil packs other than the LS1 style are by far good enough for any application...Truck coils are the best IMO...the D585 coil packs are the ones you're looking for....
