I good pair of shoes is a must whenever doing ignition work.

Who made the distributor and what's in the bags? Not to rain on your parade, but I wouldn't get anything short of American-made MSD stuff. Are the plug wires spiral wound? Wires like the MSD Heli-Cores are definitley worth the investment, and infinitley better than Accel carbon wires.

I also prefer the Msd stuff.......but have run several sets of the Accel wires without a problem! my longhorn has accel spiral core wires on it........not even a 'hiccup" to 7200 revs!

If that's a Summit distributor, better buy an extra ignition control module. Mine burned with less than 2K miles on it.

Yes the disrtibutor is a Proform. The items in the bags are a HEI power pigtail from summit and a chrom distributor hold down. The wires are ACCEL Spiral Core wires.
