Default 76 C3 distributor set-up

Just rebuilt my 76 350 engine and want to upgrade the distributor/coil pack set-up and would like to know what you guys are running. I don't like red caps or colored wires, black will do. I'd also like it to look somewhat stock so I don't want external coils or anything.

Installing headman headers and chambered exhaust and adding the right amount of chrome. This car will go pretty good.

Thoughts?


Mike

Did you build an aggressive high performance 350 or just a slightly better than stock 350? Unless you're in that high performance category you do not need anything but a stock distributor with a stock coil and stock replacement ignition wires. You can have your distributor rebuilt to as new condition by vendors like Willcox and a stock replacement coil from any chain parts store is more than enough for you. Don't over complicate it if it doesn't need to meet the needs of a high performance engine.
