Each year there were differences with the shielding hardware...even strategic differences between big and small blocks in the same year. In general, the SB engines used metal covers/shields around the dist. and plug wiring to do the interference shielding; the BB engines went with metal around the dist. and braided shielding around the spark plug wires. Most aftermarket places sell the right stuff. All the various parts are listed, but you have to check the years that each part is designated to get a good idea of what your year and engine required.

Everything is "a la carte". You even have to figure out how many wing-nuts you want and buy them separately. But, the demand is so low for any single design, they couldn't afford to make up specialized kits.
