He said he spent about $7500 on it including the carb swap, and had replaced the cams. I’m not sure what else he did yet. But apparently the engine was running really well, my friend actually drove the car about 4 or 5 years ago, just before it was sold. All that said, I paid $3500 for it so I think I made out pretty well.
Also, he still has all the FI gear in his attic. So I guess that’s an option. For now I’m going to seek out the missing manifold and distributor.
Suggestions on what to be looking for in a distributor ?

Based on this, you did well!
Just buy a stock SC distributor, put a WTB ad here in the sales sections.
If the cams have been changed and the engine is otherwise healthy then clean it up, service it and the carbs. Put it back together and enjoy. Will be a fun package!
