The 4 pin module is really the one to use with this basic swap, where you're carbureted and are controlling advance with a mopar distributor.

I have not researched this to death and don't feel I know all the ins and outs of it, but I believe the 7 pin or 8 pin module is still useful...
I believe it is the one you want to use with EFI/megasquirt with the computer providing spark control.

Got the 4 pin installed today and its all good now. no more advance getting thrown in on top of whats supposed to be there. Now to buy a spare 4 pin to carry with me. I had 4 of the 8 pins for back ups..Wish i could trade a couple for some 4 pins.

If you like to mount the module off the distributor like I do to get it away from some heat. Try this bracket, AC Delco #10474610. Just drill 2 new holes and it works great and is under $20.

You can mount the module on the back of the heat sink and not have to drill any extra holes.
Used long through-screws to get the necessary clearance for mounting to fender housing.

PS, don't forget the paste for heat transfer

That heat sink is a nice addition, thank you!

I'm thinking a couple stand offs for mounting would help the heat situation even more.

would it be better to have it mounted flush with some heat sink paste to wick away heat produced in the module (like it is in the HEI dist) or to space it up to isolate it from heat in this metal mounting bracket itself?

after seeing that finned mounting bracket [up] i would use the paste on the bracket, then space it away from the surface 1/4-3/8" with a couple of bushings from the hardware store.
just my opinion. it couldn't hurt, and would be easy to do.
