ignition from A to Z: What am I missing?
wires, plugs, blaster coil, distributor cap, and ignition... what am I missing if anything?

can someone explain the system in depth a little more than what I just threw up a setence ago so I know what Im looking for / working with? based on my own thoughts I have drawn up a small diagram in my head of what it looks like more or less, but Im still not sure.

Thanks,
-Alex

I've already bought wires and plugs, just wanting to buy the rest of the system to replace OEM for the next tune up.

PS - its not JUST for a tune-up.. I do plan on building the engine later on down the road...

rotor is what's under your distributor cap, that goes round and round and sends spark thru the cap and down the wire to the spark plug

You should change it when you change the cap, it's cheap.
