Auto Racing: ignition module, lyons Performance, hei

Question
i know this is not racing related, but you said you have experiance with SBC performance... i have a 1985 chevy k-10 pickup with a 305,edelbrock performer 600cfm carb, hooker long tube headers, and a mandrel bent header back exhaust system. recently a friend suggested that i should install an msd series 6 ignition module on my truck for improved power and fuel economy. how would i go about installing this on an hei system? what would the benefits be to installing that system as opposed to my current setup (accel super coil, accel cap/rotor, superstock spiral core plug wires, and accel u-groove header plugs) would i be better off to just buy the accel H.E.I. module to complete my system? also is 0.060 gap too much for my plus with my current system? it runs fine but i have been told that is too large of a gap for the stock module...

Answer
The MSD 6a box is perfect for your application. The instructions include easy wiring diagrams for the HEI. I would ditch the super coil and the wires. Those are bargain basement wires that won't hold up to the increased spark energy. Buy a set of MSD or Moroso wires.
The plug gap is fine with the HEI.
The benefits will be better idle, cleaner emmissions, and increased fuel economy.
