save your money and stick with the stock merc stuff,,maybe add a box and a high voltage coil but thats it,,you really wont see no real gain..

What do you expect to gain????? It will not gain you a thing over stock Merc parts.

Stock Merc stuff will last twice as long as MSD stuff.

I planned on switching out my rotor and cap regardless.. my local mechanic put Sierra parts on and I noticed lower performance... If merc is as good as msd or better, ill stick with that.. I was told a higher pressure fuel regulater may benefit he top end. Any thoughts??

If it is stock, then leave the fuel regulator alone. Sierra stuff is hit and miss on quality.

Dan,
Put merc stuff back on it...all MSD is going to do
is increase your risks of needing to be towed in

I have had better luck with orher brands than MSD but MSD is easilly as good as the merc stuff. I think I have everything you need for 60.00 shipped. Its new but old stock. MSD coil MDS Dist cap and MSD rotor. Email me if interested.
