Hey there,

The my first time here and my first posting. I just bought a '71 Mustang. Turns out it has a 351 C Cobra Jet. I wasn't sure until I checked the numbers on the block. Anyway, I'm looking for recommendations on a good replacement carburetor and distributor. A carb with power vavle protection would be good since I hear that might be my problem. Also the possibility of a newer/lower maintenance distributor is appealing. I'm not the most mechanically savvy guy in the world but I'm slowly learning.
Any feedback is appreciated.

Thanks
