Ok so would I be able to delete that map sensor? I am thinking ihave something like this kit

Really weird because all the wiring looks original but some parts point towards it being duraspark III and some duraspark II. Maybe I am over thinking this.

Since you are learning as you go, and don't have anything to work with, why not buy a Ford HEI distributor and drop it in? There is something to be said for keeping things simple, and that would be the simplest ignition you could put in it as far as wiring goes.
Manual choke would be simple, just carefully drill a hole in the firewall for the cable.
Not sure why you are set on headers. They are a real pain to install and hook up underneath and then you can't work on the transmission. They hang down below the frame and all in all, are not worth it. I would try shorties before I ran long tube headers.

If its a holley and says holley on it and it has a tps on it, could be a throttle body.

Dumb ******* thought that A/C solenoid was cruise control.

It is possible that it is the throttle kicker.
Either way the original set up is gone. I am beginning to like the idea of a HEI kit. I could delete most of the wiring and emissions stuff that way being alot cleaner under the hood.
I found out my buddy is running HEI on his 67 bronco 302 (soon to be 351).
Also running shorty headers.

I am not sure how you figured out you get tremendous gains from headers. Sure you may get 5-10hp, but that is hard to feel on a old heavy truck. I know every bit counts in the end, but the aggravation of the installation negates any gain you get.
If you are out in the woods and keep hitting the headers on rocks and stumps and tearing the exhaust off, it's not worth it.
If you can't get the tranny pan off to do maintenance and change the filter, it's not worth it.
If you can't hardly get the starter off to change it, it's not worth it.

big reason why I opted away from headers. I will just get a replacement passengerside manifold as mine I had to drill out for the hot air choke but didn't take the manifold off so drilled a bit off center. Works for now but the build I will do will have aftermarket heads factory manifolds with factory intake and carb along with roller cam. Nothing too crazy just something to get more than the at best 110 - 120 hp this emission engine is rated at.

Makes the exhaust easier because I am using the true duals on there just a little louder muffler.
This HEI distributor should work right?

Rusty all I am looking for is a little more power than my 88 f150 hardly over stock build is.

That distributor should work well. They sell cheaper ones on ebay, but a few people have had quality control problems with them.
The EFI manifolds are the same, except they have the hole for the oxygen sensor where a older carbed engine without the computer would not have the sensor hole.
