There is a issue with the distributor gear when going from a EFI "Steel" roller cam. Make sure you get a distributor that has a brass or steel gear on it. If you don't, the cam gear will CHEW UP the distributor gear and flood your engine with metal particles that instantly destroy main and rod bearings.

There is a TSB (Technical Service Bulletin) from Ford regarding this issue. Info can also be found at numerous aftremarket race part suppliers. MSD makes a real nice Billet unit that is compatible.

And when stopped for a vehicle inspection and asked why the brake pedal seemed to go just a little to close to the floor, the response was:
