318 vs 360 Rebuild...

If it were myself, I’d do everything fresh and updated for the new combo. I wouldn’t waste time any other way.


Halifaxhops Is a “Goodfella” in my book and will book you up right. Some guys just like to get a new distributor rather than run an old one. The important thing is that it does it’s job right and well. Halifaxhops Can put the curve into the distributor for you once you have all the specs of the car.

Going to an electronic system from points is an entire system upgrade. Do the whole thing and that is it. No worries from there. When it comes to an electronic control box, I like the MP Chrome unit or the FBO unit. Use with the matching coil and ballast resister and your done. I don’t like the Orange box. I had only two worth there salt. And they were good for there intended purposes. Once I used the Chrome box, I sold my Orange boxes.

Where do I get a Chrome Box? Would they be on Summit? I already have electronic ignition, but it is stock, what I meant was when I went from points to EI it was a big difference. I hope it is another big step up in performance to have the HEI cap Dist. in it with the Chrome Box.

I hear ya on the new converter. There is probably 5-10 more min labor to pull the TC once the flex plate and engine have been removed right? It will be needing the flex plate upgrade anyway, either way, pay now or pay later, and if it broke, well that would just suck. So yeah, I see your point.
