dubie - I got mine from an '84 p/u. Didn;t have to do all the plumbing talked about here, but did have to rework the plug wires. I'm running the same wire from the starter to the dist that originally went to the coil. If I change to a starter with just 2 connectors, one big and one small, then I'll have to run a power wire from the ignition. Haven't had any problems yet, and I know can't even remember what points look like.
Hear it's colder than a witch's #$#@ up there right now. LOL
