ignition system

What kind of ignition system has people used. I assume you may of used the bosch electronic. Is this any good with a pinto with a piper cam? I have heard that burtons now do a road/race kit which includes a dizzy coil and ignition kit so is easy to wire up etc. Is the bosch system ok in terms of cost/performance?

Also im looking at fitting 40's onto this engine but from what im told i really need 45's. Does anyone know or have experience of running 40's on a pinto with a piper cam.

sorry one final question what type of manifold do i need?

Many thanks in advance

Cheers

It all depends on the answers to these questions

what you want from your engine?
how much you want to spend?
what do you have already?

I have a bosch system coming from the scrappy, ive got second hand 40's with a manifold but after spending all that money on an engine im now worried it might be wasted as i dont have the right bits for it. Having said that the pinto's only got a fast road cam on it so from what i can find out they may just work alright.
