lol i'll post up some pics soon as i get home. as of right now here are some starter questions

I have a 302 Long block w/ 2 barrel Carb

When i'm tryin to purchase a Distributor it asks for steel or Cast Iron Gear. I was told i could get either?

Do i need a Vaccum advance Distributor or does not that matter as well?

W/ Carb Motor can i grab ANY 302 Valve cover even if its Fuel Injection?

Don't worry, thats the plan. i got it from my boss at autozone who had it in his 68 Mustang but decided to put 289 back in it instead (thats why oil pan and valve covers are missing) he kept everything he could reuse on the other block. but for 100 bucks this long block works for me. i'm finding my pictures now so i can upload them
