318 vs 360 Rebuild...

Oh, by the way, if you need a distributor, check out. Blue Print’s ready to run units I spoke with @Johnny Mac abiut them and I choose a MSD like unit. There the same distributor but sold a lot cheaper than MSD. Same thing. Awesome unit in the wife’s ride.

So J-Mac said above, LA head and external 360 LA balance. A B&M flex plate designed for the external balanced LA 360 for use with a neutral balance torque converter I have done twice with smooth running results.

Yeah, my Air Gap will work after all, cool! I'm fairly certain J Mac said I need a Magnum Weighted Balancer in the front. Could you double check on that for me. I already have the LA Balanced style one in there now. I would like to leave the TC as is because I have to replace the tranny soon now too. I probably shouldn't try to push 5g RPM under extreme acceleration until I get a new tranny with stall converter, but I'm not planning to race it anyway. I wonder how you feel about that? Should I go ahead and get a stall TC now, or just use the same TC for now, probably will replace the trans before summer.

Do you know Halifaxhops here in the forum? He rebuilds and sells Distributors. I asked him for his take on what I need to run street wise. I'm not sure which one I really need to put in. I don't want to skimp on $200 for economical purposes unless that $200 won't make much difference. I know when I switched from points to Electronic Ignition, wow. So if it is like that, I will go with the middle grade Dist. and the box BPE sells. BTW, do I need a better control module if I'm upping the voltage? OEM is in there now.
