The popular electric fuel pump is the Facet Gold-Flo cylindrical pump as offered in the MMI catalog. I have one and it's been a rock solid performer.

The added features of the Ignitor II™ electronic ignition compared to the Ignitor™ (the usual A-4 EI) is lost on us due to our low RPM. If you decide on an Ignitor II™ system be sure to read the instructions carefully, particularly any advisement about maximum amperage. I don't know if it's any different than the Ignitor™ but look for it. It's really important. Really.

Also if replacing the coil, I recommend an oil filled rather than epoxy filled for better heat tolerance and as close to 4.3Ω internal resistance as possible. You'll find the Pertronix Flamethrower coils max out @ 3Ω spec, usually measure 10% greater, 3.3Ω. This will have an impact on system amperage and likely require the addition of a ballast resistor.
