You're overlooking the 5lb weight savings of the $150 water pump housing, and it's significant contribution to the package Also, the solid core plug wires were important to mess up everyone's radio signal

Back in the day I skipped the fluff and did a slightly better fuel system instead, but not knowing what was out there I just went with the Carter 4594....

13.0 first time out, and that same day....12.94.

I will never forget that.

The old parts packages might not be relevant anymore, there are ways to do the same thing and be more street friendly, or spend more and get more, but they are....what they are. A place to start. Try it and see what you think.

Without a place to start and some kind of direction, it's all just a gearhead dream. The goal is to turn dreams into reality somehow.

Have a nice holiday all.
