You'll need the distributor out of an 85 mustang GT with a 5 speed (steel gear is already on this one) or you'll need a duraspark distributor from another carbed 302 and then switch the drive gear to the ford motorsports steel one. The ford racing gears aren't drilled so you should take it to a machine shop or at least do this on a drill press. It is a good idea to pull the distributor apart to see what advance slot that it is set to. If you need help with this, PM me when you get a distributor and I'll help you out.
