Thats exactly the answer I was looking for. i heard the engine run, and It sounds a lot better than the engine I had in the 84, I know I wont screw anything up just by switching manifolds and fuel pumps. The reason I was so screwed up about dist. gear choice was that an article on jason pletcher.com said to use a dist. with a steel gear for the roller cam, and other people were saying to use a bronze one. one last question, what is the cam eccentric? Is it a rod or something that runs off of the cam gear to power the mech. fuel pump? How easy is it to take off the 84 and put on the 88?
