1969 Ford Mustang V8 Two Wheel Drive Automatic

i have a 1969 mustang and put a 1982 5.0 in it. I am trying to find a way to make the distrubutor work with the coil. The origional 351 had one wire goin from the distributor to coil. The 302 thats in the car has three wires with a plug on the end. Is there a way to eliminate two of the wires and just run one to the coil. If so what color is the wire I should use.
thank you
jon

Hi there,

Your old distributor will be a point ignition and the later will be a Dura spark electronic system (see pic) if this is the case, you cant run the later distributor with out the entire electronics package.
