Question about this...

When we sold my wife's Civic, I pulled off most of the performance stuff.
One of the things she had installed is an MSD 6A ignition. I played with the
idea of installing this in the bus, but became pretty leary pretty
quick.......

I remember that this ignition helped her car run MUCH better. Nice and
smooth. Is it feasible to install this in the van? Anyone with some
experience on this?

Thanks,
