many threads on carbs versus FI...do a search.
Short answer is no power gain, less gas mpg, sounds cool, cleans up engine bay....stock cam is DESIGNED for FI...no overlap and will need to be changed if you want more hp.... Oil cooler....most people use an adapter plate between the stock oil filter and the case....lines run off of that to the cooler. |

you"ll need a different fuel pump. do you have a complete carb setup ready to go? why are you putting on a cooler? we really don't need them here. esp on a stockish engine. steve's car ran well going to whistler. run it as is. you can put the carbs on with the engine in if you still want to later. not that big of a deal.

I was not aware there were different kinds of mech. advance. I just know there that it is not a vacumme advance because the vac. advance is not sitting on the side of the old distributor and there is one on the new motor. witch one do I use?

Stock distributors have mechanical advance along with vacuum advance and retard. In some cases the vacuum retard was not used, 1974 up IIRC. The vacuum chamber has two fittings, one for each section. Non-stock distributors usually don't have the vacuum pot, and don't usually have the best of mechanical advance curves.

So my best bet is to run the vac. advance. Hummm now what do I do with the old 2.0?
