You want a little more power out of your distributor?
Your talking about replacing the coil and module?
New cap
New rotor
Better plug wires
Timing changes?

yea, i need a little more power out of my distributor. I replaced the cap, rotor, spark plugs,plug wires and we set the timing . I used an accel cap, rotor, wires,and acdelco r45ts plugs.

I used to run the Accel coil on my 83 with HEI but now run the HYPERTECH Super Coil which really improved the overall performance

, the HYPERTECH has a higher output than the Accel.

You could get the MSD module and coil.
You will notice a little difference in performance, but not very much.
When I switched only the module from stock type, my idle jumped 100 rpm.
Not sure why it jumped my idle up, but it did.
I corrected the idle and it ran a little better and idled a bit smoother.

such as from www.summitracing.com part#msd-8225, is that right phoenix

Remember that the module only replaces 4-pin modules!!!
Some stock distributors didn't have 4-pins, they had more.
