Check out this link at Fordparts.com for a Motorcraft distributor . It is actually for my truck, 95 F150 automatic. Doesn't appear to make a difference for 4wd but there is a diff between manual or automatic transmission. Check for your 92, may be the same part number.

When I first clicked the link it showed a price, now it won't since I looked up my truck, and won't give a price for either now. Weird.
What would be the difference between the auto and manual?
My truck is a five speed, but the distributor that I have now is out of a auto I believe.
I did a motor swap and I'm pretty sure I left the distributor in the motor that had a auto behind it.

We've seen this before.....for some reason there is a different part number for a manual versus automatic gas engine trucks. I do recall running across this for 5L engines, but do not know if it is applicable to the 4.9, 5.8 or 7.5L engines.
I believe it has to do with the "octane rod" in the distributor. It was designed to change the timing without moving the distributor.

In reality I am quite certain you can use either distributor, just set the base timing to whatever you want.

Not to long ago there was a thread/portion of thread about searching for new replacement SBF Motorcraft distributors or rebuilds labeled factory Motorcraft & it was more/less the decided they are now (at that time) both with Dodos & carrier pigeons.
I searched for about an hour & came up with 1 rebuild that I could actually put in a "cart".
I'd love to know that I'm wrong & there might be a quality MC replacement for under $200 for a factory 5.8

Is Number dummy still on this site?
I was wondering if he could do his thing and find a dealer that has one of these distributors in stock.
Auto or manual doesn't Matter.
92 302 five speed 4wd.
