hey everyone my name is victor i just wanna ask a question about my engine, well i got a motor out of a '88 5.0 and i wanna change it to carb since it's goin into a '84 5.0.... i was just wondering what kind of distributor would i have to run since the other distributor is for fuel injection???
85 and up. Thats why you need a dizzy from a 1985 because its the only year that had a roller cam AND was carb'd. This is the route most people take but I just went with a stand-alone Mallory HEI setup.
The box should have 2 sets of wires coming from it. One will have 2 wires and the other will have 4 wires. The one with 4 wires goes to the distributor.
Here is a pic. Just go into Napa/Autozone and tell them you need a distributor for a 1985 Mustang with a 5.0, manual tranny, and steel gear. You dont need a part number.
