The stock one assuming its in good working order.

Agreed.. stock with a good coil works just fine.

The other choice is a msd, there icm s are pretty cheap so if failure occurs use a 369 gm icm.

I will be that guy.... The best distributer is none. I love my 24x swap.

OK.
Lots of good ideas...so the stock style I need to use (due to my wiring harness being a MAF system) is the 305. It'll be a brand new one, since the older one had 89K on it. Also following the Comp Cams shopping list, I purchased the 12200 gear that'll replace the stock gears at the base. Then with the distributor cap, You guys are suggesting a MSD set-up. Now as you guys know, the coil isn't external like the 350, the coil is integrated in the cap. What your recommendations for this conversion or is it dirt simple. Order the MSD cap with a integrated coil (if it all possible) do I have to change the guts out like one of the other guys said...


Thanks for your time.

with her coil in cap you should have 4 screws holding on the cap unlike non cc that have 4 arms that swing to retain the cap.

You can always convert to the divorced coil distributor from an 87-92 car. It's a really basic cut/splice the old distributor harness to the new one. Much easier to find, more options for service parts, etc.

Thanks for all the guidance...I went with the stock distributor and coil pack. everything is brand new...runs like a champ...

Yep, my original response to your question was to use stock distributor. Glad to hear that you did that right off.
