Good stuff, I see what you guys mean about power and $$$. I do know it needs a serious tune up! I got to pull it out this summer past and wash it, lead to a little starting prob that us young bucks are not use to these days!
Of course I had to laugh and realized if that eng was to stay it needs electronic ignition. Any suggestions on new distributers w/ built in electronics...NO MORE POINTS!

I did a little reearch on these a while back and basically found they are just turds from the factory but they are still a SBC which means they are okay they just arent known for being big power but like any other they should be very reliable if taken care of. It is your call on whether or not you want to put big bucks in it.
