Craig,
The best thing for performance is to do the MSD thing BUT use the
pertronix as the trigger. The MSD creates a very hot spark and does it
multiple times for each cylinder as it gets to the firing point. The
Pertronix only replaces the points and doesn't add much in the way of
performance, only reliability.
But to answer your question, Pertronix is less than a 100 bucks while
the MSD (depending on where you buy it ) runs as high as $400. Bug
difference for destitute Spitfire drivers.
