Are you on Facebook? Someone asked this yesterday there. :D

I know you aren't asking me, but I will toss in my thoughts anyways.

I used the OEM stuff for my CC swap. Mostly F-Body stuff, but (I think) most of the parts are generic beyond the actual mount for the under the hood part. Biggest trick for me was wiring in a switch that killed the CC on my clutch pedal. Works as well as it did stock, which means the initial set point is always low and needs a couple of pokes to the set button to get it where I want it. But after that works really well, very happy to have it.

No idea how accessible the OEM stuff is anymore, but when I was doing it I felt pretty lucky to find the brake switch that I needed. They seem to be out of production. But someone on FB suggested a NC relay and that would do the exact same thing.

I've used this kit for all of them. As far as the switch to turn it on it depends on the vehicle (On my Dart I cut up a turn signal lever I had laying around and used the universal one listed below) I used the 250-4165 magnetic pickup on all of them but the pass through generators might be easier?

For a confirmed slant guy, I didn't figure I'd be posting in the small block world but here I am. I have two, this 340 in my Dart, despite the godawful black spray bombed engine bay. I imagine I'll be removing a half mile of wire when I get done cleaning this mess up.

And if you bought your 318 2-barrel in 1972, this is what it looked like. This one is all original and untouched since it left the factory.
