Yeah, i was going to tell you to go that way. I'd get the pertronix 2, with the flame thrower 2 coil. Thats what i have, and i guess theres a little difference.

you guys know there is a filter built into the pump right? (if its a stock pump) ... be sure to NOT overlook that bad boy in your tune up.

Actually, I think the only fuel pump that had a filter was the one for 390's, or all FE engines for that matter, but i could be wrong.
