i got the mallory hyfire ignition vi-al for my 94z 6spd, and it works fine.Also i got the msd ignition 6al for my 89 stang.I say the mallory is better because it puts out more spark energy and it takes less voltage to operate it.Not to mention u dont have to use rev limit chips

You have to double check if it works for distributorless ignitions tho cuz im not 100 percent sure that it does. Most likely yes, 100 percent no.

Heres there little advertisement and options it has, retails new for 240 bux.

"Faster processing for improved performance.

Ignition Box, Hyfire VI, Digital Multi-Spark CD, Retard, 2-Stage Rev Limiter, RPM Window Switch, Each

These HyFire VI Digital CD ignitions from Mallory give you optimum performance, accuracy, and reliability in a microprocessor-controlled CD ignition system. They have state-of-the-art digital circuitry with four times faster processing, and the ability to boost the proportional retard capacity with the optional harness. They feature an easy-to-use digital display with push button controls, to let you see exactly what's going on in real time. You get two-stage rev limiting in 100 rpm increments, an automatic start retard circuit for easier starting, and a built-in rpm window switch that is ideal for nitrous. They're very versatile and work great for supercharged, turbo charged, and nitrous applications."

Both of my previous MSD boxes have gone out on me with other vehicles. So far the Mallory works perfectly and there is a very noticeable increase in power. Pretty smooth install too if I shall say so myself.

In my opinion, I could not have found a better spot for it. Since I have been on a weight saving splurge lately, one of the things that I took out was the 3 Gallon washer fluid tank in the front of the car right in front of the radiator. I never use it, and besides...it was broke anyways. So I mounted my new ignition box right where it used to be. It looks extremely clean and gets plenty of air flow to cool it down. I'll have to post some pictures of the install some time soon. It worked out really well. I was able to keep all the wires nice and short.
