I haven't used that specific model, but it wll make an improvement over stock. I've used the MSD 6AL-2 and Crane cd ignitions on my race cars. If I'm not mistaken, the 6A model (p/n 6200) doesn't have rev control and the spark energy is a little lower than that of the 6AL-2, but still much better than stock because it will spark multiple times throughout 20* of crank rotation.
You should get better throttle response, slightly more power especially at higher rpms, and faster starts. Mileage may improve slightly since combustion will be more complete with the cd multiple spark discharge.
If it were me, I'd spend about another $50 and get a new MSD coil also. You'll get a lot more voltage than the stock coil puts out.

thats funny because I happen to have a extra 50 bucks to throw around. I want a new msd coil but what model and do they bolt right in? no mods? thanks man

Check out MSD p/n 8231. This should work on your truck. It's for the 96-97 models with external coils. If you get the harness for it, it will be plug and play. Easy install.

thanks man. Just ordered the ignition pack 6200, the coil 8231 and the harness 8877 from msd. Should be here no later than monday. then i will let you know how the hookup went. from everything the msd tech told me on the phone it should be a simple hookup. thanks again:thumbsup:
