As I've said before, if I can run the same intake and carb on the 350 and 383 without changing much then it makes for less work later. Seems the intake is likely a yes, but the carb is up in the air. I was gonna get a vac advance distributor that could run up to my desired RPM and call it a day. Unless anyone else has input on that.
I am a big fan of my MSD 8360. New ones even have a built in rev limiter.

What I don't like about the HEI stuff is that they can be wacky to limit total advance in. My Vortec engine likes 15-16 initial/18 mechanical for 34 total. I don't think HEIs can go less than 21-23* mech advance. Plus you may need an adjustable vacuum advance can if the HEI one adds too much.
