Hey all.  It's been an interesting year since the restoration. I'm having a hard time locating a thread on Distributor upgrades.  Any recommendations?  I'll try and get some pictures up for you over the holidays.

Best,

Will

HEI upgrade, gets rid of the old stock ignition system which was garbage, and performs really nicely. I got mine from Skip White on eBay...it's really helps the performance and MPG as well.

Those come with the right gear already. Just lube the new one before installing
