So the project took a (somewhat) unexpected/unwanted detour yesterday. Not wanting to crack open the 350 from a 1972 Impala that was in my truck, I was was finally at the point of no return. Time to open her up. My neighbors dad is in town due to a severely ill relative and needed a distraction. He is a big gearhead so he has been walking over quite a bit to see what I have going on. I gave a wrench and boy did we have that thing apart in say 10 mins?

Anyhow, the engine has a BAD cylinder, needs head work, a couple other cylinder were questionable so I said screw it and ordered a GM crate 350. Just their basic entry level one. I am going to need a new distributor for it. So putting out for masses and want to see what you would order up for it. Am I a glutton for punishment, yes, but I am really thinking I want to stay with the small cap style and not the large cap HEI. But I want your honest opinions. This motor is basic and will be run with ram horns, an Edelbrock Performer and 1406 carb as I have that already. It’s a daily around town driver on my days off and run to the local drive in car shows. And it’s going to be backed by it’s 3OTT. Thanks for the info in advance.
