Thanks for the replies gentlemen,
Paul - the dist. is from Scorpion Ignition, it's a knock off of a MSD , ready to run hei. Probably not the best choice but i'm going with it anyway for now.
Kevin - dumb question here, would I use the 6a in conjunction with the coil ?
Also in the pic of the wires i'm holding, there is a plug and ground wire...not sure where these hook up...i'm assuming the ignition box.
This novice appreciates your patience and knowledge!
John
