5.0 swap ignition help

Hi. I have swapped in a 84 5.0 in my 72 i6 truck(with much help from this forum). The distributor is from the 5.0 and has a 3 wire connector on it. Where do I go from here. What do I need to go to get it hooked up. What will I need to get and what from old set up can I use. My old coil was new accel unit. Thanks. Closer than ever !!!!

So I need a dura spark box from the 84 mustang I assume. Do I need to remove anything from my current set up or will it be obvious. Thanks
