You'll need at least the ignition module if you have a magnetic trigger distributor. Alternatively, you could use an aftermarket ignition such as MSD.

Magnetic Trigger, How do i tell? The distributor that I have has something that looks like it is in place of a points set. Is this Magnetic Trigger?? If so that sucks! Thank you for the response.

Actually, if it's a 1983 model, it could be a TFI distributor.

Google is that way -->

Ford magnetic trigger has three wires coming out of it.

If you'll go to the link I gave you and look at the installation instructions for your favorite MSD box, they'll tell you how to hook up various types of ignition systems to their box.

I found a points distributor, cap, rotor, and wirekit for 70 dollars. I can just put the points distributor from a 70s model 460 in this newer model on right?
