Default ignition upgrade

So here are my plans for my ignition setup.

MSD blaster coil
MSD Cap
MSD rotor
MSD 8.5 super conductor wires
New AC delco plugs

not looking for any power gains. just hoping i will see a little improvement in gas mileage and how smooth the motor runs.

Anybody running anything similar to this?? what would you recommend for the gap on the new plugs?

I have all of the above actually...

the gap should be .045 or .060...I would say make a pick. .045 is puts less stress on your coil...but on the bad side...gives a smaller spark....double check your owners manual and/or under the hood on the fan shroud. If urs is like mine...it tells you both!! lmao I havent noticed much when it comes to gas milage...but its definatly more responsive. I like it...defintaly runs smoother too.

P.S. plugs come with a .060 gap already.

Hey,
Well I didn't buy them all at once...and don't really have part numbers other than the wires...but theyre for a 96...not sure if theyre the same..but anyways...heres links to the things.

MSD Spark Plug Wires
MSD Coil Packs
MSD Cap and Rotor Kit

I don't really think the cap and rotor matters that much when it comes to what brand..I could be wrong...but yea...and the plugs...just go to Autozone or w/e...theyll hook ya up
