While you can retrofit an LS motor with a distributor, it's expensive and I can't see how this would have anything to do with a hood scoop? If you are thinking of going with a 4 barrel carb and traditional intake manifold, this is easily done and works well with either a dual plane or single plane manifold and carb of your choice. In this case, the last thing you want is a distributor. MSD makes a nice digital box that mounts right on the intake (if you use the dual plane Edelbrock) and retains the LS coil on plug ignition system with reluctor wheel.

While you do not need a laptop to set timing if you don't want to, you can use one to set the timing curve and it is very powerful and super easy to use. I've done several carbureted LS motors and always use this box for ignition.
