did some searching but could use some help. I am swapping a mpfi v6 to a carbed 350. I am getting a non computer controled carb, and here is where i need help. I want to completely get rid of the computer so what ignition parts do i need to get? I ve heard different things. if someone who has done this or knows for sure what parts i need it would be appreciated
thanks

An HEI style carb with vacuum advance and youd be set to go.
