help 1964 Slant 6 tune ups specs

Shop around for a distributor. For my 64 slant, I got a new one for ~$40 on ebay. I did have to add a $7 pickup plate. If you wait a bit, there may be a "ready-to-run distributor" for the slant that gives you HEI in one small package for ~$50. Search for that on ebay. Currently only for Mopar SB and RB engines.
