Hey Guys, hope all is well with you all.

Quick scoop.  Building a truck and I am close to mounting the engine on the frame.  As my baby (272 Y block with only 7,500 orig miles) sits on the engine stand I need to start making some electronic decisions. 

My problem is I am a mechanical kind of guy, not much in the electronics arena.  I want to run the one wire Alt, with J. Mummerts bracket.  Other than that I have no idea what I should get.  Can any of you gents give me the skinny on a reliable set-up for my engine. 

MSD, Mallory, Joe Hunt, I am lost.  Not sure what should go with what....  Sorry, don't flame me, just being honest and looking for a little expert guidance.

Thanks,

Ryan
