First- On a distributor is the shaft supposed to spin free or be hard to turn I have 2 and 1 is hard the other isnt.

Second- If I was to get one which would be better MSD or the factory motorcraft seeing that the MSD is cheaper at the local parts store

Third- Trying to hook up power steering back up it was removed along with the a/c, would it be better to go with the bracket kit that moves it up tp where the a/c used to be or could I just get the original a/c compressor bracket and hook it to that.

If i use the a/c bracket kit that relocates it will the factory pshoses still reach

Distributer gear and shaft should turn easily if not installed in car. Motorcraft will work fine, alot of people recommend it.

the factory dizzy will be just fine!! if the dizzy has beedn out of the car for sometime then shoot some oil around the bushing/ shaft and see if it loosens up.....I d personally go with the a/c eliminator bracket if you don/t care for a/c........and your hoses will work fine here's a pic of my motor with the ford racing a/c elim kit and stock hoses

A used distributor out of a car will spin very freely. A new MSD or NOS factory distributor will spin a bit more stiffly, but certainly not hard. FWIW, I have a brand new stock '93 distributor for my EFI swap and it spins with about the same resistance as the new MSD one that I had previously.

Look to Ebay for used stock distributors as it will be at least a few hundred dollars less than the other options.

Good luck!
