65 Valiant Signet convertible project; where to start?

The engine is a 318 from the numbers on the side. Yes, it sits crooked, but I have 273 mounts that I can put in it. I don't know what oil pan was uses, but it doesn't seem to be interfeerint he with K-frame. It has a broken distributor in it to fill the hole in the block, but it has no cap, wires, coil or anything to make it spark. I'd like to do electronic ignition, but have never done that myself.
The body work is just a cut out the rust, and weld in good sheetmetal thing. I need to remove all the bright work and then have it painted all over before I reasemble the body mouldings.
The interior is in decent shape with the exception of it needing a carpet. Does Auto Custom Carpets still make a good carpet for these cars?
