    That's an obvious yes. The distributor wires are in the back on LA blocks and the B/RB blocks are in front.
    You could splice/crimp to lengthen and whatever others need that too. But why bother?

     :iagree:
     the wire to the coil ,  temp sensor & the alt wiring needs to be extended also
     Not hard to extend the wires using solder & heat shrink though if the harness is in good condition
