Question MSD 6AL and Spark plugs

Hey everyone i just installed a MSD 6AL and a MSD blaster coil on the ole 88 and i notest a huge difference in throttle response and she runs alot more smoothly, but i still have the regular autolite plugs.....my question is should i get some top of the line plugs like platinum 4 to compliment the new ignition or should i stick with run of the mill plugs....would the new plugs make that much of a difference?? also what about wires....right now i have accel.

Just use the Autolite plugs, and not the platinum tipped ones. The MSD will melt the tips off the platinum plugs.
The wires really only need to be replaced if there is a problem with them, if they work fine there will be no performance increase.

you won't melt the tip off of platinums. If you want to try them go ahead and see if they make a difference. I have platinum +4 on mine. They're gimmicky, but regular platinums are nice.
