Does anyone know if the distributor from a 3.5 engine will fit on a 3.9. I just got a 3.9 engine to replace my 3.5 and it didn't come with the distributor. The engine is off of a 94 or 95 discovery.

The distributor can swap with no problem.

The advance curve is different, but it will fit.

If the advance curve is different, it's probably wise to get the right dizzy. Lots of wreckers around, e-bay, lrx, this board, pirates, RN etc.

I ran one out of a 3.5L in my 3.9L and never noticed a difference.
