 | Simple swap. All you need is a non computer dist. everything thing else for your gauges will go to the same place on the new motor, and if you have any electronics like map, knock, 02 sensors there is no need in replacing them.

| You don't have to use it. The only thing that will need vacuum is the brake booster, distributor, and the ac system that I can think of. Tranny shouldnt since you should have a 700R4 (4speed auto)
