how much ET did you pick-up with the ignition? I've added a Mallory Hyfire VI AL for the rev limiter and picked up nothing, no real difference in idle quality, but i still had the stock coil and distributor. I'll be installing a new 6 AL2 today with a built-in 2 step and have also installed an Accel Super HEI coil last races with new cap and rotor. No improvement on ET.

Yea thats true i used to run a 89 mustang coupe 351w with stock dist. Just a good cap and rotor should do.By the way i ran 11.5 all night in quarter mile no disrespect to nobody but that just my two cents.

I'd say gears and posi would help you a lot.  I had a friend in a similar truck get smoked by a Dodge Ram(Hemi).  Later on he installed better gears and a posi and it was a completely different outcome.
