Sam, 
There is no reason why you can't use the 1965 flywheel, clutch and release 
bearing. No need to use the EM stuff. Since you have a '65 engine you really 
should keep the harmonic damper because if you don't, you will risk breaking your 
crankshaft. Just get a rear motor mount bracket from and EM with A/C or a 
1964. That will give you clearance to swap fanbelts.

Althought the 110 distr will work on a 140, it won't give the proper advance 
curve and may make the engine sluggish.
