yes I know. Im trying to figure out what he is needing and help the guy out.


Be more specific native on what you are doing. If you are running just a basic non computer controlled sbc and dont want to run a points style ignition that distributor will work. You will have to do some wiring. It is a cheaply built unit.

If you have a computer controlled q-jet, then no, that will not work.
