To the best of my experience, yes. If parts of the system is weak, an improperly set dwell or weak condenser may result in uneven firing. Maybe I"m a caveman, but I just grabbed the plug wires and pulled them off one at a time, checking for spark. Best done in a less than strong light, so you can tell if the spark is strong and blue or yellow and weak. I assume most folks have a CD ignition on their cars. I felt that at least 2/3 of Lambo V12 smooth running and starting issues were ignition related, and always wanted to engineer an MSD unit to fit. Once I had one priced at a kit about $1K that would have only requried a crank trigger be installed on the flywheel. Cheers, Bob
