if i end up putting the haltech on my 91 (its been reliable! and gets good mileage!) i'm gonna run the msd on the leading with 2 msd coils, same setup as the 1st gen and it seems like it works great.

i'm also a fan of the rx8 plugs, but with better ignition, maybe you can run anything?

One of the advantages of the CD systems (MSD and others) is that wet or oil fouled plugs will fire and clean up just fine. Another is that, an over rich or over lean mixture will light and run fine. So, if you have control of mixtures say light throttle through 2,500 RPM, you could run that as lean as it will go and still run, and get good mileage in cruise, and still have good power (richer) at full throttle.

You can also run the coldest plugs on earth on the street, and not foul them out. So you could run three dollar AC racing plugs instead of the 25 dollar NGKs.

It can also mean you use a regular 5/8" plug wrench, and leave the eyebrows on the rotor housings.

All good things.
