4 Wheel Drive/SUVs: ignition module, stock module, premature failure


Question
i have a 1985 chevy k-10 pickup with a 305, 2" lift and 33's. 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 ignition module is very easy to change. If you pull the cap off and remove the rotor buton you will see the module there with a plug on each side. Remove the two screws and replace in reverse order. the hotter sparkprove economy since it will burn cleaner and with the gap, i would suggest no more than around .040 as it will put extra strain on the ignition module resulting in premature failure
