No you also need the wiring harness for the distributor, module and ignition coil. And a non-feedback carb unless you want to modify yours.

Good luck finding that stuff in a junkyard. Finding anything from even the 80's is impossible here. It's all been crushed.

no wiring harness, make your own wires. Its an easy hookup.

I got my dizzy harness from a 84 ranger with four cyl 2.0 you can use your stock coil and you need a motorcraft/autolite carb with the 1.01 or 1.08 venturi it is on the drivers side of the float bowl in the circle.

All your doing is dissipating the heat bolt it on a large computer heat sync put some heat sync grease on the mating surface to transfer the heat.

You ABSOLUTELY DO NOT need the harness when using a GM HEI module. It mat be helpful, but if you can make wires and connection and do it right, you don't need to buy a harness. I'm just trying to save you a few bucks if money isn't available.

You can use the stock carb but you will need to make the metering block that goes on the back of the carb where the feedback solenoid is. Basically all it does is supply air to the venturi cluster the more air the leaner the mix. I allways wondered if you could just create a leak in the feedback solenoid for the same effect. I will try and find the link for the metering block.

IMO, not worth trying to use the stock carb. 2100s are so cheap and easy to find, easy to rebuild.
