If it all seems to be working well now, then the only thing you might 
want to consider would be to make sure you have the right angle 
connectors for the SP wires to the top of the dist cap. Otherwise, 
the wires will stick up too far and wear thru the engine cover 
insulation, and eventually thru the SP wire insulation.
