    I went with a 82 model ford 300-6cyl adapter and cap/rotor.This spaces out the circle of wires at the cap,preventing wire jump if you run an aftermarket coil pack.The jeep cap is very small.
    I`m also a member of a jeep forum and some run a tbi conversion for rock crawling and have reported 5-8 more mpg with a light foot,along with the fact that it will stay running at extreme angles.

    Sorry for the slight O/T.

    i had a 64 2-door post nova with a 250 6 in it. it ran 17 sec in the quarter mile. actually ran 17.18 everytime. a lot of fun when you bracket race. you're almost at the end when your opponent gets to go. i think we all tend to exaggerate when it comes to speed. i wouldn't have a 6 over an 8 personally. even if the 8 is the dreaded, uncool POS SBC. go ahead and run the 6. i'll see you in the rearview.

    Well we fired it up last night and I must say, nothing sounds quite like open headers on a straight 6. ( my pants are still tight ) Tonight we finish the wiring and then it goes out for the exhaust. I am going with 2" straight out the back with 18" Cherry Bombs and pencil tips. Anyone running the new Cherry Bombs here? I want the cl***ic split 6 sound and I want it loud enough but not obnoxious.
