Computer controlled distributor, and remote mount coil. I am unsure if the HEI with coil in cap will fit back there....

Wiring harness.... and ECM.

You will have to figger out something for the SES lite, and the ALDL connector.

You will obviously need to replace the missing parts.... IAC, FPR....

Re: TPI !?!???!?!?

Do you already have the motor? -looks like he's givin' you a set of 305 heads. Not sure I'd want 305 heads. Looks like you'll need the wiring harness too. Yeah, and the MAF and EFI pressure fuel system. ...and all the necessary sensors.

....and why go with manifolds? Might as well use headers. Looks like he's charging you for stuff you probably don't wanna use.
