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?

http://www.atomicefi.com/

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

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.

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.
