This is my first post so... Ill try to do my best.

I am currently trying to restore my 1979 F100 Longbed. It currently has a 302 with a Edlebrock intake/carb. I just installed a HEI GM style distrubutor in hopes of getting rid of all the wires i have that are astrue. I also ditched the voltage regulator and the ignition box. I believe the transmission is a C6. (not sure it is or not) Also the rear end is a mystery to me ive searched for the axle code but mine is not listed. Well this is just a little hitory of the truck heres the questions i have.
  • What kind of axle/rearend do i have in my truck?
  • What kind of transmission do i have?
  • How do i set up a one wire distrubutor to the original distributor, alternator, ignition switch, starter solenoid and anything else thats starting related.
  • Im making a custom dash how should i wire toggles to use my headlights, park lights, windshield wipers?
  • Any and all information on my vehicle as well
My vehicles Vin Number is F10GPFB2930
Axle code 11
Type F107
DSO 43
WB 133
Body AB4
Color H
Trans J

welcome to FTE.

* What kind of axle/rearend do i have in my truck?
get the codes off the tag on the rear axle.

* What kind of transmission do i have?

Trans codes says C4. is the tranny pan rectangular or does it have a notch out of one corner?

* How do i set up a one wire distributor to the original distributor, alternator, ignition switch, starter solenoid and anything else thats starting related.
* Im making a custom dash how should i wire toggles to use my headlights, park lights, windshield wipers?

get a Haynes manual it has a wiring diagram in the back.

* Any and all information on my vehicle as well

build sheet from ford.

To find your build sheet there are numerous places it could be:

Under the seat
Under the carpet
or
Take the headliner down and feel around up in there
