                    Well, it's next to impossible to
get a std/std welded CW crank. Unless you want Scat's
cast iron catastrophe. Also, I don't have the $$$ for
a Berg std/std unit.

                Johnson lifters ARE Webcam lifters.
Johnson makes all of Webcam's lifters.

              It basically increases your venturi and
jet size to help accomodate the better breathing
capabilities of my new engine. Plus doing this avoids
going with an ICT setup, which has no provision for
vacuum advance.

                No, it's the factory vacuum only dist.
I may look into using an EFI dist. for both mecahnical
and vacuum advance.

            thanks for the suggestions, everyone. Keep
them coming.
