Scott, the magnum does use carbs, but you can modify (like anything!) that and
use an injection system. You are right about the comp though. If youre going
with a crate motor, (in my opinion) its best to use the 4 hole and get away
from the computer all together! As far as a distributor, hey, my dad always
said he liked points better!! Whatever! Give me a Paxton or Vortech with my
5.9 and Ill see ya at the track!!
