I'm, not to sure how the holley fuel pump will react witht he edlebrock carb. I perfer edlebrock over holley though, however I must say that holley makes an aswsome fuel pump. Here is a link to the cars progress pics:

When I took the block apart I found no gaskets on anything where they should be one except for the intake, there was one, and it was torn :(

For your cam selection, do you know the specs to it? I would give comp cams a call and talk to them about your combo. They will then recommend the best cam for your motor and give you the part# for what you are looking for. also are you changing the stall for the trans? do you know the rear diff ratio? other than that, sounds like you got a good combo going. Play your cards right and you can have an easy 300-330 hp.

with the fuel pump there ias no problem. the blue pump comes with an adjustable regulator, set your pressure to 6 lbs and youll be fine.

you may want to get a holley inline fuel pressure gauge, they look pretty cool and make it easy to dial in your fuel pressure

thanks I'll keep that in mind. As for the ignition I have an MSD up there (look at my sepcs) what distributor/and coil would be best?

I was thinking this:
MSD - GM Pro-Billet, HEI with Coil & Vacuum Advance,
(5)(6)

Part number: 121-8365


Thanks

with the msd ignition I would get an msd distributor,

I run an MSD 6AL, MSD pro billet distributor and MSD Blaster SS coil..

and Im very very happy.

and i believe to use that dist you listed you may have to rig something up to use the MSD ignition box
