Distributor question

I am swapping from tbi to carb on a 305, just preparing for when my 350 is completed. I have the intake and fpr ready to go. Just don't know which style/kind/type of dist to use.. Could anyone here give me part numbers to use to help find the right ones to help eliminate spending on wrong parts. Since many of you already have completed this swap, your knowledge is what im looking for. I would like to not have to run a dist box, unless I have to.
