N 42 swap with carb. into a 81 non turbo.

I have replaced my stock F54 with a N42 carbureted engine. I have removed the EFI harness and components. the car ran fine till I had no break lights . I removed stop light switches under dash and now I have no spark. I have power to coil but no spark. I am buying a new distributer and need to know witch setup I should buy.
