I have a touring engine with hc head,larger intakes, 97 carb and Stipe 330 cam in my Tudor. I would second some kind of overdrive. I have a 4speed overdrive transmission and 3.78 gears. The overdrive makes touring enjoyable and tha all sychro is good in traffic. I also have MT car Bendix brakes. I have no trouble with the stock distributor with good quality point,and a leakless water pump. I have driven 22,000 miles including over the Rockies with no breakdowns. Enjoy your A however you build it.
