Dont forget to remove the fuel pump as I doubt this dizzy will fit with the fuel pump in place.
Works with your vacuum, and is also electronic advanced, with smooth graft, and eliminates dead spots,

its Brilliant.

Thanks for the info guys,

that dizzy looks sweet Retrovan, the one part solution, and i love the fact that you're running it with 34 ICTs :flash:

But the thing i like the most about it is the price :hangloose: So i'm definitely gonna go for this one instead. With the other set my budget was getting murdered.
Dont forget to remove the fuel pump
Sorry for my newbness, but if i remove the fuel pump then where do i put it??? I know ---- > :jerkoff:

I think i heard somewhere that if you use dual carbs then you need to replace the standard fuel pump with a more powerful one preferably located close to the tank, or is that only for high performance applications :zhelp:

just get a small facet pump and put it near the tank. Not expensive.
