So, I figure installing a new ignition, cap, rotors, wires, alternator and radiator would be the right way to prepare for such an addition. I replaced my fuel pump with the one Trick Flow dynoes that kit with, and they dynoed it with a 306 block and pulled 360 horse, so I know I will be over 300HP...I haven't and will not install that kit until everything else under the hood is ready for such a modification...

'88 California cars were mass-air equipped, if you don't have SD then you should have a MAF meter like the one circled in the pic of my motor.

If you do still have SD you almost have to convert to mass-air to get it to run properly after that cam swap. Theres like 2 guys at stangnet who swear they have h/c/i swaps still with SD and it runs fine but everything will be easier if you have MAF.

Don't mean to jack the thread, but I just put the MSD coil in and

it makes RF noise that matches revs - you can even hear it from outside the car with the hood closed and engine running. (Stock exhaust) Loud(er) exhaust or turning up the sound system, won't notice.
