On the cable, you'll need a new one. If you get one off a
Stang, make sure it has purple marking (paint splotch) on it, the gold ones are for two barrels(they'll work on a 4 barrel, but eventually break). Parts stores may have 'em(probably junk, but it will get you by) by now - they didn't in the late '90s. If you're doing this on a budget, find any late '70s-mid '80s carbed 302/5.0, and get the dizzy, and the ignition box, along with the harness which runs between them. Duraspark II is a pretty good ignition, and if I'm not mistaken, utilizes a capacitive discharge. If you're gonna race, get a Holley. Edelbrock carbs are good for troublefree street use.
