Stronger spark, better idle and running, Roosie off here has it on his car(4wd) + Al and LC from stu, certainly runs nice it does.

Piece of cake to fit, some small amount of delicate soldering, other bits to fit are easy, msd website contains all bits needed.
Will give a much better spark under higher boost which is why it was developed to start with, for cars where spark was getting blown out.

Apart from closed loop best conversion you can do

The distributor cap, rotor arm, Coil HT lead and Standard Coil are removed from the car totally leaving you with a solid state non moving HT ignition system with less HT connections and only 1 gap for the voltage to jump, the all important spark plug gap.

so i guess that means YES
