I have a chevy 305 V8 in my '76 nova. i recently bought a holley 600 cfm carb to step up from a 2 to a 4 barrell carb. i will be purchasing an intake manifold shortly, as well as an inline fuel filter, which my mechanic said i would need.
but what threw me for a loop was that he also said ill need to purchase a different distributor advance kit for the car, because with the new parts on it, the engine is going to advance differently.
now ive been looking on summit, but i dont know the difference between different types of distributor advance kits, like the springs, or curves or whatever. also, the product descriptions say they are to make it stock again. why would i want a stock one? my mechanic said ill need a diferent one.
im just lost because i didnt think i needed anything besides the carb mani fuel filter and air filter.

And yes, i already did a bit of exhaust work. i got the summit racing headers, and dual exhaust minus cats with turbo mufflers all the way back. i even extended them a little bit because they came pretty short.
i was almost thinking of getting an intake manifold/valvetrain combo from holley

its not too expensive, but i dont know if it would be worth it to dumb money into my 305 instead of just putting in a 350 or selling the car.
