With my recent water pump dilemma hashed out in a different thread, I think I have a handle on that. I hope to have the correct parts shortly.
I've decided to take the advise of finishing the engine (small stuff first) while I save for all the wiring. (I can't seem to locate the stuff I saved- maybe when we thaw out?) Anyway, I still need to address the distributor, the ignition coil, and the fuel pump.
So here's the questions:
1. The distributor (gift from Andre- thanks again!) is a used item. Is there anything I should to do in preparation to use it besides slapping on a cap and rotor?
2. I have the original (at least that's what was on the car) ignition coil- looks a little rough. Do I buy a OEM style unit from one of the vendors or is there some special upgrade I should be considering? (Again, please bear with me- I know nothing about these systems- my other cars have coil packs or COP's)
3. My engine builder said a stock OEM fuel pump was adequate. However, I read in one of the threads on this board that many people recommended an upgraded fuel pump such as one from RobbMC. Is this overkill for me? I want to have good reliability with this car.
I think this is it for now... I'm trying to reign in my impulse to want to do it all at once. So, baby steps....
As always, any and all input and advice is appreciated.
