I had already moved my battery to the back via KB kit
(really a nice kit) So I installed it where the Batt
was.

No noice compressor, and for me, no radio interference

Purchase the MSD HEI adaptor kit # 8876(got mine 
from Summitt) and follow instructions that come with it.
NO WIRE CUTTING or splicing reqd with this kit..

Yes, THe motor runs much smoother now, hard to
tell if it got faster, could not feel it, but suspect
that it is worth some, especially as miles roll up on
the new plugs. I changed plugs/wired/cap/rotor, test
drove it for several days, then installed the MSD, I could
feel the difference.(Like you, I got it Christmas, and it
sat untill my Sys performance stank)  Once I got
under the hood, I have changed any/all items in question,
including installing ALL goodies on the work bench.
(MSD/air foil/adj fuel pressure reg.)

Time for more goodies!!!

Mine has only the low cost easy mods so far also, and I 
still think it is worth wile. My rational is that the plugs should
last longer, and that alone is a big labor saver, also if/when
I install bigger turbo,increase boost then hotter spark
is a must.
