What are you doing for spark? Thats a carb right? Or is it a holley converted to a throttle body? Are you running an ECM for the EDIS, or do you have the kit to add a distributor?

Here is a mod I just finished a few weeks ago. I took the old B&M shifter out of the truck and replaced it with a 2000 S-10 Blazer shifter. It has 2 cup holders as well.
The shifter has the brake solenoid wiring hooked up as well but with a little twist. I have a switch hidden so that if I drive it someplace and leave it I can cut it off and even if you get it cranked you can't get it out of park.

A little anti theft prevention can go a long ways.
