This is really my first time doing a job this big. I have lots of friends with experience I can call in a pinch, but I think the best way to learn is dive in. So any advise or pointers I can get will diff help. Ive heard the factory fuel injectors are junk should I replace? Any advise about break in period would be much apreciated. What about setting the timing? How do I prime the oil system? Thanks for reading

I would put in the upgraded fuel injection spider,take the distrutor out and prime the oil by using an electric drill and a special shaft that hooks into the oil pump drive shaft
