Default New distributor installed

Well I installed a newley rebuilt distributor (rebuilt by Lars) at the same time I installed a M&H electronic conversion, as well as a new Accell coil. What a diferance, very smooth, less popping and sputtering. Really runs nice. Now, what to do next???

What is the M& H conversion kit and where can they be purchased?

I suspect that 99% of your improvement is due to Lars work on your distributor AND upon YOU following his instructions on installation and timing.

I guess next could be new front & Rear bumpers (fiberglass or OEM) but thats a whole other issue, or a crate motor vs rebuild (again whole other discussion) bottom line is always sonthing, budget always a concern, but at least I have the car to enjoy now.
