The lack of ZAP has been traced to a bad coil and it appears to be impossible to find a replacement for the original steel unit with the ceramic bottom where the coil wire to the distributor cap connects and the mounting bracket spot-welded on. The coil all the parts stores show is a more "modern" version. Heavy dielectric plastic with the cap wire connecting to the top. Suggestions?
The fuel pump looks an awful lot like one of the dozen or so I have to fit various small-block chevys. Can a SBC pump be used on this 216 or will I have to use a pump specifically for a 216?
I'm not wanting to come off as cheap, I just don't want to put much money into this engine as I don't plan on keeping it in there once I get it home. It just needs to run well enough to keep the truck mobile until the engine swap is performed.
Thanks everyone.
