If you're not fouling plugs at idle, a new ignition wont do anything.
If you are, consider a couple manufacturers. MSD does not seem to be the most reliable.

HuH. I remember someone telling you they thought it was a coil a month or so ago???? He must have been smarter than he looked.

Umm Me? Maybe not? A coil to start. Use an MSD blaster 3 coil.
