Mike -

I wouldn't think you could get much better than the factory Bosch Hall
Ignition unless you upgrade to a high performance MSD system that
would be compatible with Digijet or Digifant FI system, which I don't
think is (but I could be wrong).  None of the Compu-Fire's or
Pertronix Systems (ugh) (both are essentially Hall effect systems) I
see listed are retrofittable on a Hall System, but again, I could be
wrong.

The Hall System delivers a a pretty "hot" spark as it is. Never had a
problem with mine in 13 years, why fix it?

As for "Performance" advertised spark plugs, every one I've tried from
"Splitfire" to "U" or "V" cut eletrode styles have been PURE snake-oil
to me.  Again, stock Bosch is the way to go.
