http://community.ratsun.net/topic/17460-fuel-tank/ jumping off point... got to do this soon as well.

lol i hear you. I read a post where a guy shaved his points dizzy pedestal with an angle grinder (i guess the pedestal was to tall to let the dizzy fully seat/engage). If i run into the same problem i will give that a try first; hopefully i will be able to time it okay. Ya it is the closeout one. I will update this post when i get it in.

Okay cool, that was very informative. It's running a points distributor right now... I ordered the distributor from rockauto, a used one at the u pull it was listed for around 40 bucks, so I figured i might as well get a remanufactured one for a couple bucks more. I also picked up a 12v coil, so hopefully this will be good to go (famous last words). I will scrounge around for the pedestal, if anyone wants to sell me one i got real folding money. Thanks again for the help, i will post an update with results.

thanks for the replies. Do I need another ignition control module or can i run this off the one in my truck?

cool, thanks... http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/x,carcode,1210150,parttype,7060 Should I replace my coil as well? At the top of the web page above is a 'california' electronic ignition coil; should I scoop this thing up as well or should I use the regular one?

I am looking to upgrade the ignition system in my 620/l18 to a matchbox dizzy. I read the stuff on here and the jason gray thing, and I was wondering if a remanufactered distributor from rockauto for a 1979 l20b would do the trick (it's only a little more pricey than a JY part, due to the wholesale thing going on). If it's good to go, is there anything else I will need to do the swap? Also, because it's going in an l18 do I need to modify anything on the motor to fit the dizzy, or is there an aftermarket bracket available (couldn't find anything)? Here is a link to the part; it's the cheapest one: http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/x,carcode,1210150,parttype,7108 Thanks
