Default Auto long tubes on a 5 speed?

I just had a bunch of parts given to me for a 5.0HO. msd hei dizzy for carbed 5.0HO( on a side note, will this work on a late 60's 351?), frpp blue 9mm wires, spare set of the aluminum valve covers and some long tube weld together headers.(not sure what type they are)The headers are for an auto and i was just currious as to what stops them from working on a 5speed? is the clutch fork in the way? also is there anyway to make them work and fit on a 5speed?

I cannot speak for any other company besides MAC but I know MAC's auto LT's will work on a 5spd... you will just need a h pipe for an auto also. The only difference is auto headers/h pipes are wider.

I just had a bunch of parts given to me for a 5.0HO. an hei dizzy for carbed 5.0HO( not sure what it is.. it'sbillit aluminum housing with a red cap with copper terminals and a red hei coil cover not sure if it's a proform or a msd...andon a side note, will this work on a late 60's 351?), frpp blue 9mm wires, spare set of the aluminum valve covers and some long tube weld together headers.(not sure what type they are)The headers are for an auto and i was just currious as to what stops them from working on a 5speed? is the clutch fork in the way? also is there anyway to make them work and fit on a 5speed?
Can anybody answer this for me? i dont think it will and my buddy with the 351 says he thinks it will. it came out of a 85 302HO id that matters any.

351's and 302's have different distributers. The 351 has a longer shaft.
