cap & rotor HELP. PRONTO!!!

ok i got a quick question. My buddies got a new ACCEL cap & rotor set that he'll give me for a couple bucks. It says that it will fit a 89-91 mustang with 302 501L (it might mean 5.0L but it says 501L). I have a 90 bronco with 302. Now i have heard guys say that the parts are interchangable with broncos and mustangs. I just want to be sure that this cap and rotor set will fit my bronco. Please help!!!
oh and in case its a factor, it is part #8233. thanx for the help in advance.

good question. I have also heard that some parts are interchangable. For a "few dollars" it's worth looking at. If you get it, look at both and see how they are different. If they're the same...should be just fine.

And if you have to buy it first, and it doesn't work...sell it.

I am pretty sure that it will work because one time, when they didn't have one for my 89, they told me that a Mustang or F150 would word as well.

Good luck,

I have the ACCEL cap and rotor on my 1994 5.0 and I think they pretty much interchange on all Ford V-8 distributors from the 1980's an 1990's.

Smile totally interchangeable.

Yep - 302 caps of this year should all be the wide style, and ought to fit. I have a mustang distributor in my bronco, and the truck parts are the same as the car parts.
