    You need to change the control module and coil because stock units start dropping sparks around 4500 rpm.

    You could change these parts or you can check out www.jegs.com and look up part no. 10-59107C and get the complete distributor cheaper than what it would cost for MSD module and coil.

    That part no. is 110-59107C and it's a complete ready to run Accel HEI for right under $140.00
