Find a earlier factory setup and swap it in. As you stated you need the carb and the dist, and the ignition module, and probably a few other odds and ends. You could get a carb from a early 70's six, and that would be even better.

Your module should look like this with plugs already on it.

Your distributor should look like this, with a plug already on it. They both should just plug in, and then you have to plug the hot wires into the other plug on the module.
