Anyone have any wiring diagrams or pictures of their ignition wiring in the engine bay on their mustang that was converted to carbed? I'm converting my 4 cylinder notch to a carbed 5.0. It was a 5.0 conversion already but i completely stripped it and am redoing everything. Just looking for some pictures if anyone can help me out. Thanks in advance.

do yourself a favor , get a distributor from a parts store for a 78 granada with a 302 ( they should accept yours for a core ) and buy a MSD 6AL box and blaster coil , follow directions for wiring that are in the msd 6al instructions and you will be fine ....
