You can source the stock electronic distributor cheap and I wouldn't run anything less. I have a setup if you need. It needs the dist rebuilt and I would get a new module to be safe. Either way if it cost you $200.00 for a rebuilt dist and MSD coil with new module it will be one of the best money you could do.

I may have missed it but what was used for the attaching points of the front and back for the top cover?

I was thinking about getting Petronix kit - http://www.ebay.com/itm/330616388276?ss ... 1423.l2649 but had not decided yet.

And for the top cover I fabricated a bracket on the back , it is attached to the head bolt and the front mounts to the thermostat housing.

Ive ran all types and they all work great. The nice thing about the Fiat electronic is that it takes a standard GM $25.00 module at any autoparts store if for some reason it goes bad. But either style will be 100 percent better than the points.

Beautiful engine work...I agree a youtube video end would certainly be cool. I'll be posting one of my v6 when it's done and installed in my spider...

When looking from the side at the carbs, I see you got a regulator! But what that piece in the center?,

Thank you very much guys !

Engine is not in the car yet , so no videos for now , sorry.

OEM looking clamps are ... OEM clamps , they came with the 2l engine.

If you are talking about this picture -

the thing in the middle is a Malpassi pressure regulator

unless you are talking about something else ?

So I got a 79 with dual carbs, I should prolly need that to adjust the fuel so it 3psi

Almost a shame to hide that in a car, it belongs in a museum!

How do you plan to lift the engine for installation? With the intake manifold installed you can't use a harness. I want to install manifold and carbs while the engine is out but I cant think of a way, maybe use head bolts.
