Lol......
I have seen plenty a side mirror on today’s cars costing over $2,000 (US). Many has cameras (for avoidance detection) and/or radar sensors built into them. That and 2 (or 3) electric motors and heater element (deicer). Some of them contain antennas for the TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitor System), as well.
I ran read an article on a BMW that has 11 different cameras on outside of the car, for collision avoidance.
Personally, I think this is a way for government to spy on us (ok, I taken my tin foil hat off and placed it back in a hidden bin by my computer).

I just did the swap. Needless to say, she runs much better than before. I'll include some pictures.
Oh, and I did also leave the computer bolted to the air cleaner.

Is that the MSD all-in-one distributor?
Got a little more done, moved the A/C compressor out of the way,
Was a bit snugger fit than I thought, but just had to undo the heater and upper radiator hose at the intake and wiggled it out.
Still love how much sense these cars make to work on if you just stop and think a minute, everything all falls right into place!

Looks great!
As soon as I get the time that dang compressor is getting chucked out of my engine bay too.

yeah it's the MSD ready-to-run for small block Chryslers. Installation couldn't have gone smoother. Only 3 wires to hook up, and it comes with everything needed. I bought it from summit. Pretty expensive, but you get what you pay for.

I had already installed an MSD blaster coil about 2 years ago when I did a tune-up. I decided to stick with MSD since they have a good reputation. I did put a set of their wires on too because they use a male/hei style cap. Also, the coil to cap wire that came with the wire set was too short, so I just modified my old one. Haven't had any issues.

Slowly, but surely, I'm getting there. I hope to have it fired up this weekend. One note, if you go with Rev-N-Nator, you have to buy a pigtail for the ECU.

Very very nice indeed!
Looking very nice.
I have one Rev-N-Nator setup (need two) - but hadn’t installed it yet.
Was disappointed when they said they don’t recommend using it when using vacuum advance (I said WTF) - so am curious to see how yours work.
I would like to get my hands on your carburetor for a week, for testing purposes.

Sir Railliart -- tread carefully... your carb gets north of the red river into oklahoma territory and you may never see it again...

There's something much extra wiring that's not needed now. The photo was when I had everything pulled out of the way.
I started it this afternoon. Now I'm cleaning up all of this extra wiring and going crazy with the zip ties and electrical tape.
One major problem is that the coil rubs against the stock air cleaner. So, I now have a Demon chrome one coming from Summit. Was trying to keep it somewhat stock looking, oh well.
