I am picking up the 63 Nova Wagon on Friday and first things I plan to do to it is disk brake conversion, power booster, weatherstripping and felt and new plugs, wires and HEI distributor. In the car is a mild 327 with performer intake and currently a Edelbrock but switching to a Holley and behind it is a powerglide tranny soon to be switched out with a TH350.
The car now runs a plain dissy with some kind of plain coil mounted next to the carb. I need this car to be as reliable as possible so this is why I am changing some of the ignition system, wires and plugs. It is going to be my work vehicle and daily driver (somewhat). I guess what I will do is go with an HEI distributor to get rid of the external coil and make things more cleaner under the hood, etc.
Any idea which HEI will work the best? I have used and put on a few $100-$150 dollar HEI's from Summit and they seemed to work fine. Would this be all I need?
Thanks for any advice and information you guys may have!
