The Speedo is off and bounces around a lot. its about 10 - 15 mph too fast. also the ignition box is starting to melt. I was gonna upgrade to this to delete the ignition box.

That's actually a really good choice on distributors. Worked great on my last car. FOr the speedo bouncing, the first thing to check is the cable going into the speedo. It's just a plastic clip and can back out a bit making the speedo bounce. If that's not it, does the car have different (non stock) gears in the rear end? It came stock with 3.08's, so if someone put something else in there, you need a new gear on the trans end of the cable. Check LAte Model, they have a chart showing what color gear to run with whatever the rear end ratio is. Glad you kept the wheels by the way, looks great!
