If you're running the dual 450 Holleys, then the 50cc kits are these;

I should quote people before I make a statement I guess. I was referring to the OP, he said his car is low mileage. But he's modifying it, I'd like to get the super low mileage grill emblem. I need either that one or a 78 emblem.

I am not getting rid of anything that I take off the car. Nor am I cutting a hole in the factory hood.

Ok I respect that. Glad to know it can be put back if you wanted.

Another question.....

I am looking at ignition options. Should I run a vacuum advance distributor or not? Was thinking that the vacuum advance would help the street-ability of it. Does that sound right???

Yep, vacuum advance gives it more streetability. I'm running the MSD pro-billet mechanical dist. and don't like it, and am going to be swapping it to a vacuum advance unit. Make sure your engine has enough vacuum to work the advance can, or get an aftermarket can that's compatible.

I'm running a stock Chevy distributor with a Pertronix kit in it. I really like theis setup, and have the same in my '71 Camaro.

Bad Z28, make a note that a stock HEI size distributor isn't going to clear the back of your tunnel ram.
You need to use a small diameter distributor.
