What ignition Do you recommend

[Aloha Randy]

Is the distributor the same height as the stock OEM? I have AC lines 1 inch above the distributor cap.

With an MSD 6AL or using the stock style ECU as USRAPTOR is suggesting, you use can the stock distributor with no issue.

I don't have any experience with FBO so I'm not sure of stock dizzy compatibility, but I think it works with stock.

For being cheap, stock is hard to beat. But just about any aftermarket system will outperform it. A stock Mopar dizzy with an MSD box is a significant step up.
If you are not a fan of MSD, there are other multi spark ignitions out there.
I'm a fan of MSD, but there are detractors and supporters for all of them.

Perhaps a bones stock, oem ignition curve, non-adjustable, generic box system may give up a few horses to an aftermarket system, but an optimized stock system will be on par with nearly any aftermarket set up.  Optimized being a performance curve, a strong coil, and a chrome box or equivalent.

I say this having run stock systems against aftermarket systems in my drag car over the course of many years and never seeing an appreciable difference in e.t. or m.p.h. figures between all the various systems. Stock, Jacobs, Crane, MSD, all were close enough in performance that the driver was a greater variable than any ignition system.

In this case, I'd agree with others that an OEM style electronic conversion kit will be the easiest to fit into everything, provide reliable performance, and not be a source of ongoing problems.

When I went from a stock style chrome box to an MSD box the improvement in off the line grunt was amazing. I can't give you comparison numbers cuz that is a seat of the pants gauge, but if launch is improved, Ill bet the ET would be lower.

When I went from the factory ignition to a HEI ignition, I noticed a huge difference in the ease of starting the engine both cold and hot and it seemed to object less when idling in gear.  When I put a new engine in the car, I went with the MSD distributor which I think uses a HEI module or a close copy of it, it got even better after starting but I mark that down to more stable timing over the factory timing which bounces around due to the springs used.  Cannot comment on the performance other than easy starts because the engine is so difference.

I never particularly liked the MSD boxes as they used to like to shut down at the wrong times after driving awhile.  I am sure they rectified that by now as it was a common problem in the past.

To answer your question, yes the Dist and cap are the same height as a stock OEM.  I have a Shaker hood and the Dist wouldn't fit under it if it was taller than OEM.
