Mike,
With your cam, I'd get the M1 Dual Plane, 750 Edelbrock or Holley (the
Holley will probably require a spacer to clear the manifold). You'll also
need a non-magnum small block distributor, with the advance mechanism built
in, preferably with a vacuum advance, too. The one you have no has NO
advance at all (the computer controls it). Either that, or get a CDI
ignition that lets you program the advance curve. I think Holley has a setup
like that, crank trigger and all.
The ignition might be the better way to go as I'm not positive the
non-mag distributor will work. I know that the magnums have a reversed
distributor rotation, and I dunno if they used a different distributor drive
gear on the cam or not to make that happen. If they did you'd need a new cam
and possibly an oil pump, too. It runs off the cam drive/distributor.
