Ignition? I'm open on that one too. Was thinking of using a Mallory Unilite w/ a Blaster coil. I know that stuff is newer, but I know the least about ignition so I wanted to ensure the most reliability in that area. But, open to vintage suggestions here too. </div></div>

Just use the tried and true MSD 6AL and hide it behind the glove box inside the car. WE have never had any luck with the Uni-lite stuff.

Funny, no one on here has mentioned Carter/Edelbrock carbs? For more :street&quot; orientated driving they would be my first choice as we have had a number of them and worked very well and wasn't that hard to set-up.

On my ZL-1 deal I'm going twin throttle bodies and EFI so I can go from the TR2-X to Holley strip Dom. intake to 3933198 and just put in a different program. Even looking at &quot;stacked&quot; injection with the EFI conversion just to play with.

Have you looked at the new MSD Atomic efi?

Looks like it may be easy to hide under a dropped base air cleaner.

A big Plus 1 on that man. When I had my speed shops in the seventies, we were pretty much overwhelmed with warranty claims on the Unilite stuff. So much so, we tried not to sell it, because all it did was to create an unhappy customer.

My ZL-1 uses thermoquads.
My intake is a 1969-70 tunnel ram.
I am looking for a quad top for my weiand. Currently I use a Holley top with a holley to quad spacer.
I take these carbs any day.

I've had lots of luck with an MSD ignition boxes.

As for the distributor, nothing wrong in my book with starting out with a stock core. I think you and Benjamin can use one of the stock ones you have and give it a fresh overhaul, &quot;ball point pen spring&quot; re-curve, mod your vac advance travel and limit it to no more than 10 degrees.

Triggering of the CD box can still be with points. If you are worried about the rubbing block wear etc. than your favorite under cap electronic conversion. Crane offers one with a rev limiter that seems to be decent, but far from your only choice.

I thought Crane went out of business?

They were bought out by S&amp;S Cycle.

X2 with the XR-i ignition. It worked great in my BBC Nova and the rev limiter was good insurance....cause I like RPM's. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif[/img]
