Default Need small cap distributor for my 85

Just swapped a new 350 with the Edelbrock Pro Flo XT intake, but can't find a small cap HEI distributor that will hook up to my existing harness.

I keep seeing members on here and 3rdGen using Accel or MSD small cap units but are these plug and play with the L98 harness?

Every small cap HEI unit I find has a 3 plug connector, not 4.
Are one of these wires expendable? I'm using a Mallory external coil.

You can use the msd 8366 or any 87 - 91 chevy small cap and the msd remote coil. They sell an adapter harness to go from large cap to small cap distributor to make it plug and play

I used a distributor from a 92 Camaro z28, purchased a coil and then the adapter for the harness from efi connection

..... Go to the pick-n-pull ... every early 90's Chevy C/K truck with TBI has what you need ... the distributor and the adapter harnesses for the dizzy and external coil ..........
