Out of curiosity and for my future reference..
what were the "symptoms" or negatives that others perceived
in the MSD (or other) ignition systems that prompted the return
to stock?

according to reliable sources, the ignition on a 98 is about as hot as it
can be for stock and no appreciable gains to be gained from a CD system,
wires on the other hand would benefit if you got 30 - 50 K miles on stock
ones. Several street rodders here are removing the MSD 6 s from their daks
saying just what Jack quoted below. Spend your money on a TBI instead.
