The left side turbo air duct works as well as anything, and looks correct. You can also modify a early duct to work.

Be careful with how you mount the Blaster II coils. They are oil filled and if you mount them vertically or up-side-down they will leak and fail. They can actually catch on fire.
That is why we stopped using the Blaster II and now only use the Blaster SS.


BTW: your Supertec Gen I twin plug distributor and wires shipped today. Enjoy. Remember, lots of pictures:)

If you are keeping your heat you need to use the turbo part or modify your own. If you do not need heat in the car, use the backdate kit. I need heat so I modified mine based on a picture Henry posted for me. This is mine.

Henry, dont you mean horizontally. I would think having them vertical with the top facing up would be the safest way....

Ben, are you going to trigger and time through the MS box? I want to do this and then route through a 12 plug dizzy. Modern electronics with vintage appeal.

The distributor was custom built for Bens engine. The advance curve and retard were designed to match his engine specs. The only thing needed at this point is a CD or two and right foot pressure.
