You can get a kit from Alpha that is just an ignition system.
Or you can use the ignition system from an old Nova with a carb on it....
Have a look on Demon Tweeks because they do ignition only systems...

because throttle bodies are better, more reliable and widely available. dont need tuning and setting up as often either. ive had a few cars on carbs, never been 100% satisfied with them.

humm........throttle bodies are not "better" than carbs at all, depends how you work with each.... i would be happier with bodies on my engine but i wouldn't over look carbs, they are very good, reliable too and if well set up, which isn't a problem, will perform equally as well.... carbs dont ned setting up that often anyway... its a myth!
