i recommend taylor pro blue wires and AC Delco Rapidfires, i think my mechanic just used a regular distributor though.

To replace the 160 thermo youll have to drain the radiator a bit so you might as well drain it all the way and clean in front of your radiator too, the thermostat is directly under your TB and they have it positioned so youll spill coolant if you dont drain the radiator some.

oh and get reallly mad and tear stuff up before you install those plugs, those are lots of fun.
