1969 Dodge Dart GT Convertible Stock Resto

I would get the book How to Rebuild a Small Block Mopar:

You will want to check bearing clearances and check for cylinder wall taper. I would go with a double roller timing chain like the 340s had. The Cloyes timing chain set is pretty nice and priced reasonable.

A Mallory Unilite will drop right in place of that stock distributor no external box. You can also replace your existing distributor internals with an electronic conversion if the bushings are still good.

And don't worry about those carb gaskets from it sitting it will be fine.
