To fit a distributor in a 305 Mercruiser, first ensure the engine is at top dead center (TDC) on the compression stroke for cylinder number one. Align the rotor to point towards the number one cylinder terminal on the distributor cap. Carefully lower the distributor into the intake manifold, ensuring the oil pump drive engages with the distributor shaft. Finally, secure the distributor with the hold-down clamp and reconnect the wiring and ignition components.
305 is the same distributor as a 350 will even fit some big block chevy's.

There were several different distributors used over the years. If a distributor fits a 305, it also fits a 350. The cap and rotor from an old style points distributor does not fit the newer HEI, or vice versa.
Yes it is.
Yes, you can use a TBI (Throttle Body Injection) 305 distributor in an early 305 engine, but there are some considerations. The TBI distributor may have different timing curves and may require modifications to fit properly in the early engine. Additionally, the ignition system may need to be compatible, so it's essential to ensure the wiring and components match your setup. Overall, it's best to consult with a mechanic or specialist to ensure compatibility and optimal performance.
