1983 - V8 - F150 Automatic

Just got this gem... Former owner says: was running, changed carb, and possibly distributor...




never ran again. The wiring harness is a mess.
I guess my plan is to buy a new ignition harness. Test the Duraspark II, the coil. New battery... Clean terminals, check solenoid....
What is the distributor from?

Any suggestions?

There's a couple of harness for sale online, new. Not sure if they are what you need. I'd recommend sweeping the barnyard out from the engine bay. Then spend some time with wiring diagrams and just repairing what is there. Most of it looks worse than it is. You could used a horseshoe connector on that coil.
