Gary could he use a small base HEI with a divorced coil with the TBI ? or are they even set up for an TBI..?

The TBI's coil is already divorced but you can't use it with the carb engine. Only way I know of to put a smaller distributor is an old points style. Dont mind beating the hell out of the firewall anyway, it's good stress relief

Looking @ the stock 4.3 & the 305/350 distributers they are the same except for the pickup & trigger wheel and the good part is they are both the small diameter caps and will work with your coil,TBI & a v-8 puter and they are $150 from NAPA.
So I would say grab the dist.,ECM (computer) and v-8 TBI intake off a 93 v-8 full size pick up.and you should have every thing you need as all the connectors & sensors will be the same on both vehicles.
