buy the WRONG distibutor

I figured out that there are two differed types of it. an old and a new one. better ask before pay...
getting friday the right one for the 385 series block.
so I have a question, I painted the air cleaner and wanna add the correct decal on it. I only find pictures till 1978 of it. is that the right decal or do they change it?

1. the distributor I orderd was the wrong one.
2. the fuel reg is also wrong, without the bypass.
3. the carb plate is for any motor, but not for a FORD 460, I have.
now I got the correct distibutor and fuel reg.
made a plate to block the EGR holes in the carb spacer.
has made a "custom" bracket for the steering pump, cos. I pull out the AC.
the compressor is junk, maybe I fix it later.
finaly get the gate back in bed.
I has to prep the doors, then is paint time

so long, hardy
The illustration clearly shows the 'ear' needed to cover the EGR port.
Judging from the conversation Gary posted it should be made just for your purpose.
If i gave bad information I am sincerely apologetic.
thanks work I'm not as far as I think/say/wish.
the passenger door takes me hours...I'm NOT a good/fast sheet maniac.
but sometime I take any hurdle.
nice n' shiny new hinges
I pre-mount the fenders for fitment
radiator support in place to start the wiring game.
...and I see the next trouble coming by,
the swaybar nearly touching the frontaxle
I think the frontsprings are a little tired...we have to talk about ridehight...later.
stay tuned, hardy

As for keeping you upright, many of us are struggling with our projects, and it behooves all of us to support each other.

Good find of goodies and the catch of the fire starter.
I did not find anything worth much when I pulled the dash and heater box out of 2 trucks so far.
I need to paint the inside of my truck, the inside of the fenders & hood before I can install them then get to paint the outside.
Weather & time, more the weather, have stopped me as it has been way to hot and it is only spring time

did I have pull a plug?
was there a rubber plug or somethinglikethat I forget.
wondering that there is a oval hole in the lower kickpanel. looking all my parts but there's noting what fits in it. can't remember if I pulled something or not(remember I'm 50+ now).
BAD BRAIN 2
was there a plug/wire on the top two pins of the blower resistance?
on the wiring drawing are only 3 connetions...help.
I has to extend the wires to the sparkbox. now I can hide the wires a little...
got my gas factory together and routed the dist.wires along the steering bracket.
by the way...now I have a POLICE TRUCK!
struggeling with the color of the aircleaner, my choice is BLUE, nowing that's not correct but more oldshool.
waiting the vacation of the painter ended soon...than it's spraytime...hopefully

This is the firewall of the 1990 parts truck, same hole.
