Default Best to buy,,,,

talos If money is no issue, ICE makes one of the best now. Problem is if you ever need parts. Why not stay with the MSD system. IF it works, leave it in there. I have 20 years on my system. The only failure is the distributor cap center falling out. I carry spares of cap and rotor. Some guys run metal centers for the cap instead of a carbon pile.
If you are looking to go cheap, go back to points and condensor with a vacuum setup and a good oil filled coil. They have been using this system for more than 50 years. Only side note, mount the coil in a horizontial mount and to a fender instead of the head or manifold. Vibration causes overheating and possible foaming of the oil inside the coil.
Follow the KISS rule, Keep It Simple Silly. Rick L.
