Nevermind...wrong firing order. It started like a charm compared to before. I have to say I am pumped. Now on to new plugs, coil, carb and tune

I read somewhere that I should regap the plugs. Is this true, or can I keep the factory gap?

with the better ign. set up & you will have a better coil when it's installed , so yes you should regap but only go another 5ths to start & see how it starts & runs. Then you may want to go to the 45ths. setting that is as far as you should go. I really like the E-3 plugs. I have them in all of my cars.

Ya, I think for now I will stick with the nwe NGK plugs I put in. They have seen 0 miles since installed. I will get the new coil/plugs installed and go from there. Thanks for the help guys. This is amazing getting this installed with only one minor glitch....I was sure I was going to mess up the positinging of the distributor when I put it back in

Oh ya, I read about this ballast resistor, should I have done anything about this because I wired it with the instructions as though it didn't have one. Also, if I get the pertronix coil, do I have to rewire anything or is it plug and play
