Default " small cap distributor w/built in coil "?

hi guys,
i am thinking of buying the holley stealth ram intake and getting the plenum box cut down /modifyed to fit my 1991 L98 engine!
any how i have heard that you need to fit a small cap distributor over the standanrd large cap distributor?

but what i needed to know is there any company that makes a small cap distributor but with a built in coil pack like the large standard cap/distributor?

if so what price are they?

where to buy it from?

what brand?

how many volts does it put out?

and while i am here is there any other mods that ned to be done to fit the stealth ram on, like say throttle cable,water neck ,or any other mods that need to be done?
thanks guys!
cheers

There is no where on the small cap dist to mount a coil.
You will also have to get a conversion harness for the small dist.
You will need to figure out how you are going to connect the fuel lines.
The waterneck, I ended up modifying the stock one. Cut it and TIG welded it in the new direction.
It is not a plug and play system.

Larry (LD85) or Ken (slalom) should be chiming in here pretty soon.
They have it dialed in also.
