Bonehead, you just need to contact a parts supplier either a local parts store or one of the mustang parts suppliers and they will be able to set you up with this system. I would advise you to upgrade your coil if you go with Petronix. They have a toll free number 800-827-3758.
As far as dual points this is an old way to get a better spark to your plugs. It is a major pain to set them up correctly and would recommend the Petronix for easy install.

Bonehead,
The Pertronix system is very easy to install. I am not a mechanic and I had no problems at all. Clark is right, any of the usual suppliers and vendors should have just what you need. I ordered the Flamethrower coil when I got mine. I also put on new wires, plugs, and everything else for a good tune up and it was great. At around 60 dollars or so (for the Pertronix kit) it is a great cheap mod.

Hope this helps,

Stefan
