And as soon as i get my next check ill pick up the 6al box... should i get the 6al or another one? is there a new one?

Thanks everyone for the help...
That 4 core will keep it cool for sure. I stand corrected on the short pump observation, it's hard to tell in the pic, that's my excuse anyway! A long pump from a '76 Nova will be standard rotation, so you're ok there.

As far as the MSD box goes, I would use one of their new digital boxes or if you want to lock out the mechanical advance in the distributor, use the
6AL-2 (I think) that allows you to program your ignition curve via laptop and do away with all of the springs, weights, and vaccum canisters.
