Intake, carb, edelbrock or another kit to get yout TV rod to work. I belive you have TFI so a duraspark dizzy, ignition box, and some wiring to do it. I forgot all I did but if you have questions just ask

So you have done it already.  I have a MSD 6A Box and coil.  Intake and carb can easily get.  What about a distributor?

You need a duraspark distributor and the ignition box to go with it. Look for late '70s and early '80s if I remember correctly. As for wiring, Fila would be your man. Unless someone else chimes in.

Uhhhh, I kinda guessed on my wiring but I made my own harness and spliced it into the cars own hanress. It's not that hard of a swap but it's the little stuff like getting the AOD to work after the swap. I haven't got any of the adapter kits for my carb yet so i'm still fiddling with it. I have a few pics I can show me me along the way if they will help any

But if I were to get the duraspark to msd ignition adapter wouldn't I be able to use the msd and not have to get the duraspark box?  Cuz that would eloiminate the factory ignition wouldn't it.

I do belive so, but I'd check with other to be sure. It's not hard to wire in, it just hard for me as I guessed on how to do it. Where are you located at?
