I agree with your Dad, I would definitley keep the original distributor. I have been running them for years with no problems.

Keep us posted.

Yep, it is a spin on filter, got a WIX, put in the rotella T oil, got a set of champion plugs, and flushed and refilled coolant w/ 50/50 mix of PEAK that we had laying around, as well as cleaned and refilled the oil bath air filter, is there anything we are missing? I found a cool plaque down by the pedals on the kick panel describing the engine output, which confirmed that is a 292, and told us that we could've gotten a 215 HP 409 (she's so fine, my 409!!), LOL. That would be awesome to have a 409 in that truck.
