And any external coil you get will work but don't spend extra for a performance coil unless you have the ignition box for it.

Any distributor will have the correct gear for a hydraulic flat tappet as it's the weakest dizzy drive gear of all types of camshafts

Yeah you can run them just fine but they will be no better than the stock setup. You need an ignition box to receive the benefits. Different online thread discussions about it. That's a fact the marketing team does a great job at hiding. It's akin to buying a two step coolant fan or NOS system and never wiring the second step.
