So here it is...Im going to carb, against the wishes of my fuel injected peers. I know about the fuel pump and other fun stuff, but i need info on alternator and wiring the ignition. I have accel 300 but if the msd is a little less of a headache let me know. Anything is helpful and appreciated.

Do a search for this, it has been covered in details. The common way to do this is with a Duraspark distributor, which means getting one for a roller cam, adding the fuel pump eccentric to the cam, getting a timing cover for the mech fuel pump, (or use and electric pump), a suitable tank pickup. Also need the intake, throttle cable.

The alt wiring should not change. The ignition needs power when the key is in start and run. Not familiar with the Accel unit, but I have an MSD Digital 6/Duraspark dist in the 82. I think I have the original Duraspark box power wire (not the coil wire) turning it on and off. Really not much to it. Best to consult the manufacturers instructions.
