Yeah, the MSD will really clean up your idle.  I'm getting about 10% better
gas mileage too.

I just did mine again after failing the first time on my 4WD Wagon with ZC.
It just barely passed on the Idle test with 207 reading out of an allowable
220.  I changed the oil, retarded the timing back as far as it would go, and
got the motor good and warm.  I will have to do something different for next
year.

I think the cat may be bad, but it runs pretty clean at RPM but not at idle.
I thought it was running rich but everything else seems to be fine and MPG
is good also.  I am running the ZC computer and with no strange mods.

I have heard that the MSD ignition system is good for emissions and MPG, so
maybe I will try that for next year and see what happens.
