Hot Rods 302 ignition wiring?

So I got this late 80's fuel injected 302 mustang engine. I converted it to carb. My question is about the coil/distributor wiring. I need to buy the ignition system and wanted to go basic. The only thing is that the early carbureted mustang distributors have 3 wires. I'm not familiar with Ford stuff at all. Trying to bypass the ignition box the mustangs use. By the way it's in a bare bones hot rod I'm building.

I wanted to wire it like the typical sbc.
•Distributor wire to coil -
•Coil + through balast resistor to the ignition switch
I attached the wiring diagram I always use.

Good old O'Reilly has all the stock replacement stuff, I just don't know what to do with it haha.

Thanks in advance.

 

You have two issues; one, if the Ford OEM type distributor has more than one wire coming out of it, you'll need an electronic box. Two, if this is a roller cam motor, you need the matching steel distributor gear; using the earlier cast-iron gear will eat the gear and send metal through the motor.

 

change to a points distributor and/or
add pertronix to the points distributor
if using an electronic dist, use the stock ford duraspark box

you can use an HEI ignition module to take the place of the duraspark box

Ok so I found that a 1985 mustang with manual trans has the steel gear I need. Then I found the electronic box I need (attached photo). Then the wiring should be the second photo I attached...

 

Then theses should work?

 

Put an HEI GM style dist in it like my Morris Minor . Bought it from Summit ,hooked up one wire and it was done . My motor was an H.O. out of an 88 Mustang. Just change the dist . gear if you have a factory roller cam.

 

use the 85 mustang dist gm hei module ford tfi coil.you can get wiring schematic on the web.Jimmie King
