Question 351W distributor

I have a 1977 F100 witha 351w the previos owner put in. It has point type ignition. I want to go to electronic ignition. The truck originally had a straight six in it. What other distributors will work in a 351w. I have on from a 351M will this work? Thanks for the help. Dreamsickle

You need one from another 351W, the 351M is different.

depending on the type of distributer that the previous owner put it, you may be able to just buy a pertronix kit to convert it. I converted the mallory dual point in my truck (with a 351w) witha pertronix kit and it has been the best distributer I have ever had.
