I did most of the tune up minus advancing the timing for now. I used an accel cap and rotor because they were well recommended and have good brass contacts. I used the accel 48k ignition coil and ford racing 9mm wires. I grabbed a set of the motorcraft copper core asf32c spark plugs. Run the plug gap .01 over stock to about .055 for a better spark. Mine runs like a dream now.

I'm curious, could you increase the gap using the stock MC coil? I've already got the Ford Racing wires, MSD call and rotor and MC copper core wires. Just not the coil. It's new but stock MC.
