DFLIS on a 12A

I have a 1980 sa model, I am looking to do a ignition system by MSD, specifically the 6al-2 model. The motor i am currently running is a stockport 12a with an full exhaust but everything else stock. What else do I need to do this conversion. I know I will need MSD blasters but what model numbers. I have wire, ring terminals, small things like that for the install but im having trouble finding what is everything that I need so I can start gathering parts. Thanks

Car looks great. What suspension drop are you running/using?

Yes unfortunately I do live in California and smog is a problem but im young and I like my car loud so I just swap the exhaust when it comes time.
For suspension I have ground control lowering springs in the back with kyb shocks. Front has gtx2 front control arms, tension rod and sway bar end link from t3 and a weld on coilover setup

I thought they did a visual as well on the intake and emissions etc? Good luck with it.

I bet they do, I still have everything with the rats nest connected and a stock intake so it shouldn't have any problems when it comes time to smog it.

FIGHT THE POWER!!!

Love it. Keep a stock intake and exhaust for when the boots want to see your car; then off the stock components go.
