[KiwiGMC]

Hey guys, Ive recently bought a 66 gmc from California and had it shipped to New york. I bloody love it and cant wait to bring it back to its former glory...

I had an independent company look at it in Cali who said it was great shape and running well... It is in pretty good shape but currently runs like ****. I took it to a shop and they suggested to put a new carb, starter, water pump, distributer, leads and plugs etc. they wanted 3700 to do this which is way more than Im prepared to pay.

I have currently ordered a new water pump and starter motor but haven't got a new distributer leads etc yet. Is it worth my while switching to a Petronix one and if so which one do I go with? If not where is the best place to get a new one? I guess its worth mentioning that it has a 351E in it.

Im not a mechanic or anything and learning as i go because why not. I will be shipping the truck back to New Zealand in the near future as thats where Im from although Ive been stateside for the past five years.

Any help you guys can give me will be greatly appreciated. Cheers
