Here is the list of parts that I purchased for this upgrade. I hope it helps anyone interested in doing it.
NAPA Part #'s:
FA151 Dist. Adapter 14.48
IC24 Ign. Coil 75.81
FA134 Dist. Cap 35.36
FA144 Dist. Rotor 7.06
ICC1 Coil Connector 21.39

AutoZone:
Accell 5040k 8mm Universal Spiral Core Wire Set 44.99

This totals 199.09 less tax

I dicided to go with quality parts. I have had a lot of luck with NAPA parts over the years so when I find a good supplier I stick with them, regardless of the cost. The cheap stuff is just that, CHEAP!

Those prices don't look that bad, except for the ignition coil. Is it special or something? You can get an MSD Blaster coil for under $50 shipped from Summit. I went with the "cheap" one from Advance for aboue $22 or $23. So that is big difference in prices between you and everybody else I think. I was at about $120, but I got some extra spare things too (a used spare coil, bracket, etc.) Overall I agree with you, I would like to always buy from Napa and CarQuest, but the closest Napa or Carquest with anything in stock is about 35 miles. I'm not always patient when I'm in the middle of a project!

Around here everything is colse by. Sometimes you have to use whats available. As for the coil, I don't know why it was so expensive, but it better last a long time!!!!
