Ignition and carb upgrade

[427TJ]

Okay, I finally got the brake rebuild on my '67 RS/SS 396 Camaro finished. Now I'm considering an ignition upgrade and a new carb.

The engine (whole car) is stock, 325hp, TH-400, over 107,000 miles, burns a little oil (valve guides, etc.) but it basically runs okay. Hot starts are a little tempermental and it pings slightly under certain acceleration conditions. The Q-jet is a '73 date stock replacement.

I'm considering a Pertronix Ignitor upgrade with a distributor rebuild/recurve as well as a new carb. I'm looking at the Edelbrock 1901 or the Jet Q-jet for my application. I know that I can get the Q-jet rebuilt but I'd rather try an out-of-the-box unit.

Any thoughts or advice?

Thanks in advance!
