I have rubber valve covers. I am good there.

I found a full set of newer pushrods and those locking nuts at a car show swap meet this weekend. $10

I also bought a MSD ignition box that came with a MSD blaster 2 coil attached. I can set it up for points I guess or HEI but after taking with a lot of people I am convinced HEI is the way to go. My old wires for my points system wont work with the HEI ignition correct? What wires do you recommend if I need to change them.

I am looking at these wires:

Also Do I need new spark plugs? If so which do you recommend?

Looking for ward to that pic of the modified distributor big chief, I am definitely doing that to my old distributor. Its original, do you think its a mistake to destroy it? Its already beat up, I had to chizzle off the base to get it out
