Which.. ~Engine Oil ~Ignition Box ~Fuel Pump should I run?
 
I have a SS/L '64 Mustang with a high winding 289 small block in need of some major updating! My MSD 7B is over 20 years old and my two holley fuel pumps are from the early 80s as well. What do you guys recommend?

As far as oil goes I was running 5-20 synthetic (regular non zinc) but have heard it may not be good for my race engine.

I would suggestion either the New Mallory ignition systems or the ICE Ignition Systems since the MSD folks have sent their stuff to China to be made.
Here is a link to the ICE Ignition which is the Best: http://www.iceignition.com/

Regarding the fuel system, I would suggest Aeromotive: http://www.aeromotiveinc.com/

Regarding oils, that depends on the clearances in the engines rods and mains.

I second the note about Tech West Racing. Give Pat a call and talk with him about your options.

When it comes to Fuel Pump Weldon is the only one to use, now with a life time warranty. Call Jim Craig there.

Buy an Aeromotive pump Bob. They pay contigency, and have a first rate product. The Joe Gibbs oil is the best on the market. Just call them for a recomdation on what one to use...

I switched to Joe Gibbs oil this year. I just bought a stock of it for next year. They have 30 wt Break in oil too. Best price so far is from a fellow SuperStock Racer. David Haag. He has an end of year sale going on right now 15% off of the Gibbs stuff he has. Shoot him an e mail if you need some oil. Jim

We've got an MSD 7AL-3 system in the car, replacing a Mallory set up. It is more reliable, starts easier, and is more consistent.

We run a complete Magna Fuel 500 series Pro Stock system, -10 lines to the regulator, and -8 to the carburetor. The car is a little faster, and more consistent.

We've had good luck with both Joe Gibbs XP2 and Royal Purple Racing 11.
