Distributor Fit

Finally finishing up my 5.0 swap for the 4.9 currently in my 94 F150. Using a 1990 donor truck for enignie wiring harness and computer etc... I cant use the distributor though due to a cast gear. I ordered a steel gear and they sent me the wrong one. So I've decided to just go with a complete distributor.

So, I've seen some great deals on 5.0 distributors (ebay) out of Mustangs. Should be compatible for my application correct?

Thanks

Craig

Thanks Lew, should be 'plug and play' then, as far as the ignition correct? Still love your truck!
