Deve,
You have answered your own question, "What provides the most reliable spark to that spark plug, makes the engine run the most efficient, gives you that sense of knowing you have the BEST AVAILABLE ignition system".
As of TODAY it is the large cap HEI.
You have many options:
Stock with good quality points and HiPo coil.
Stock with an MSD 6A box hidden under the dash.
Stock with Pertronix, with an MSD 6A box hidden under the dash.
Mallory dual point or Unilite distributor, $400.
Mallory Magneto on ebay for $1,000.
Tom's mini HEI with an ugly external coil. Or with an MSD box and MSD remote coil that looks better.
Large cap HEI with or without an MSD box.
As of TODAY, these are your options.
Make a decision based on your wants. Stop telling us that what's available isn't good enough for you. We've all given input on what we have and what works for US.
You're an engineer, design a new system and sell it to us. If it's any good we'll buy it.
We're not going to design it for you, we're happy with the choices we have now.
