Hey, Im doing a 351W swap into my fox and ran into a small speed bump. The distributor plug is diffrent than the plug on my engine harness in the fox. I havent heard of anyone having this problem. Its a factory roller block from a 94 f-150. Is there a connector I need to buy between the distributor and engine wiring harness? Or am I supposed to do some splicing? It's a round style plug on the distributor and square on the engine wiring harness.

looks similar, but I counted only 7 wires. I cant remember but i think they were male pins coming from the distributor. I have to check when I get back home later tonight. Thanks for the input. I just may have to upload a pic of mine.

sorry, i should have said, "looks like it would fit this?"

my pic is of the 94/95 harness side, not the dizzy side. this was when i was looking for the dizzy that was compatible with my car. and i think the lower left hole is empty.

Now I just got figure what I need to do. Lineup said, I did a lot of reading and website searching before I started this swap and I never heard about this problem.
