What Distributors can i use?

The title should read: What distributors can i use, not alternators

I have a 1991 roller motor, converted to carb. i know i need a dizzy from an 85 carb'd stang with a 5-speed and a steel gear. Im wondering if there are any other vehicles that have dizzy's i can use, also, will the 85 dizzy cap have the same firing order that i need or will i have to buy a different cap?

The distributor cap is dumber than a box of rocks It doesn't know or care what order the wires are plugged into it. All it has to do is fit securely on the distributor you are using.

See http://www.cranecams.com/?show=browseParts&lvl=4&prt=127&action=partSpec&partNumber=1000-1600 for a nice distributor for use with carb'd engines that uses the large diameter EFI distributor cap.
