All you need is the distributor. Plug it in, set the timing, and go.


You may want to look into an ignition box though.

i like the summit $149 ones that have a built in coil and a vacuum can. they have a better ignition module and a higher voltage coil already as well. They also sell a cheaper $89 one that doesn't have those things. Otherwise you could always drop $300+ on a billet MSD dizzy and get the same performance.
