Thread: Non-HEI distributor for 5.0 Ford

Tweet

I have a 92 5.0 HO, converting to carbs, and I'm looking for a distrubutor ( not MSD and $600) to replace my HEI unit.

Anyone out there "been there, done that?"

I used an Accell unit, they work out well. Or try your local parts store, and get an OEM type distributor and matching control box.

I had a Holley that did not fit. The journel was too long.( parts store said it was correct)

So, I was trying to get product , part number, etc.

What Accel unit did you use?

110-49206 is for a 302

110-49201 is for 351

Thanks for helping!

Here is what I found, 5-speed, 1985 Mustang GT for a steel gear plus a 4 pin HEI module GM, 78 350. see the URL

There are several cheap options. Here are several opinions on the subject.

Hi fellow illinois'n, I have been there done that, I guessing your 92 5.0 motor has tfi distributor in it with the electronic controls which won't work, I have an 85 mustang gt and wanted to run carb and a 92 motor as well I went to autozone and got a remanned 85 gt distributor cuz it has the steel gear needed for the roller cam and vacuum advance, I believe it was only $50 plus core. The duraspark ignition the 85 gt uses is easy to hook to either msd crane or holley ignition or even cheap just use the 85 duraspark box which is like $25 bux or cheaper if found used I have an extra you can have for $10 thats still in my car, heres a link to a good site http://www.jason.fletcher.net/tech/tech.htm
