It appears that some distributors came with two different styles of collars. This is part #12 in this distributor diagram (I know the diagram is for a 94/94 car but you get the idea):
The distributor that is currently in my '93 has the collar that looks like this one:
The spare distributor that I have has the collar that looks like this one and came out of a 93 5.0 or at least that is what the salvage yard advertised it being from.
This sticker on the body of my spare distributor:
What I am wanting to confirm is that the spare I have will work in the 8.2 deck roller block that is in my '93 as I want to tear it down and clean it up but I don't want to waste my time if its not going to work.
