no you would run P cams. When I or other people have said Ps we mean like P's in plural. Sorry for the confusion.

I have a 76 so I'm not experienced with yours but does yours have a generator or an alternator? The reason why I ask is because the alternator gear is different from the generator gear.

If you have a generator then this would be a perfect set.
