Default MSD Ignition for DOHC ZC...

I just swaped my EG with the ZC...I'm doing a tune up and I need some help..

What plugs should I get...89 teg?? or 91 Si?? and what brand??
What plug wires work...should I get MSD, NGK, or Magnacore?? what size..

I'm also in the market for a new dist cap/rotor..I much rather go MSD than stock
I've looked around and I don't really understand ignition Im just learning as I go...

If i get the cap with the external blaster coil do I need the msd ignition box..or just the cap and rotor with blaster coil and add the box later?

Dont do it. Unless you are running a turbo, nitrous, or mad engine mods, stick with the stock ignition. Ive had nothing but problems with my msd. Alot of other people I've talked to have had the same problems. My msd 6a box just up and quit working the other day and I switched it back to stock. Way better. I heard the crane systems are better than msd if you still want to go that route. Just my opinion.

hmm well I just need new wires and plugs....and a cap/rotor...its tune up time like I said......I heard just an external coil does wonders...so that is all I was going to do for now.....get the msd box later when I get noz or my turbo......

i've heard that the msd ignitions are the best and the crane ones suck. I've had an msd w/blaster2 for 6 years with no problems. However, it was still a waste of money and i just recently took it off for good when i did my swap.
