you will need a cam button for the cam set end play you could swap out the springs i do not know what your set up on your old springs so you may need new reatiners on the dist gear you may need a bronze grear ? hard to say what cam core do you have steel or two part core steel and iron gear or all iron the new cam what is it solid roller ?? TCI is far from the best converter i had 4 of them never ever again
