Manifold
Carb (I would stay around 650cfm)
Fuel pressure regulator
Fuel pump (I would suggest any old inline style, electric)
Your tank needs to modified, as the current fuel pump, is inside. There are kits, to change it to a draw style. Problem is, most inline pumps, like to be gravity fed. They don't like to draw fuel. So, a sumped tank, would be best.
And, yes, a different distributor. An older style that has been converted, to electronic, would be best. (Point style, with pertronix upgrade)
Thats off the top of my head.
