I know that some people rip on Pertronix but I have had one in my boat for 3 years with no problems. They do have one for your car and you never have to worry about points. http://www.pertronix.com/ptx2007_cat/ptx07_auto.pdf

NAPA is where I always go to get that stuff, they usually have everything on hand or can get it within 3 days. Also check out www.oldbuickparts.com (http://www.oldbuickparts.com) :laugh:

Kantor for most of the stuff that you need for that straight eight. Those do have hop up potentual , cams , multiple carbs, ect. the only weak thing that I know of is the last throw on the loooong crank tends to break off if it is pushed hard for a long time. That engine will surprise you if you tinker with it a little bit. just to give some ideas, there is a local guy who took an 1949 chev. ohv 6 and put all the modern stuff on it. [ efi, headers, cam, ect.] i havent seen him lose a race yet at the drag strip.
