hi all, quick question. bound to be someone on here thats already done this or knows how. i have a coilpack xe and am planning to fit twin 40 or 45s. i know i have to change the cams to distributor ones and use the distributor and coil assembly from an Astra 1 or 2 1.8 GTE or from an early Cavalier 1.8 SRi (Pre 1988). but what other parts (if any) will i need and what wiring will i need. am i going to need the harness from an earlier xe or can the one from an early astra/cav be used? all help much appreciated as i'm starting accumulating parts to build engine.

i believe you need to use an old 1.6 or 1.8 8v vacuum controlled dizzy and wiring.
