Ok...I'm getting parts ready...on the hunt for a Holley 350 (prolly get it from Summit Racing) - is it better than the 2150 or just the same, different name? I don't want to have to change out venturii's or whatever you guys have to do to swap jets, etc...

Looking for as much plug n play as I can...

Will follow the TRS forum write up and purchase the parts, but has anyone bought and used the autozone duraspark conversion? Painless Wiring/Duraspark II ignition harness converts old points Ford ignition to duraspark II electronic ignition http://www.autozone.com/autozone/accessories/Painless-Wiring-Duraspark-II-ignition-harness-converts-old-points-Ford-ignition-to-duraspark-II-electronic-ignition/_/N-25po?itemIdentifier=841834_0_0_

If I can thow on a carb, plug n play this harness and the other do-dads...can't be so bad.

Also, since I'm a manual transmission - any of that toggle switch or all that confusing piece mean anything to me? I've got 5 speed (4 with OD manual tranny)?

Part No.

So, if I buy this carb - I should be good to go on jets (no need to change etc and it's for a manual)?

It would be interesting to see someone post a write up using that conversion harness.

No, the toggle switch info doesn't apply to you.

Do you have a distributor, or are you just buying a new one?

I'm going to buy one...suppose I'll go in with parts list and start picking up parts until I get them all.

Went last night and did some price checking/shopping at autozone to compare to rockauto - try to use rockauto when I can...
