Steven, if the 351W didn't change much in the early 80's/late 70's, get a 
distributor from a DuraSpark II ignition system.  Shouldn't cost too much, 
then get a regular coil and a DuraSpark II ignition module for a 351W 
(probably the same as the one on my 351M).  It's not the best ignition 
system, 
but it's dirt cheap (shouldn't run over $150 for all the parts).  The 
ignition 
modules tend to go out now and then, but they're only $20 at most parts 
stores.
I've replaced the one on my 80 Ford F-150 (351M) once in the 2 1/2 yrs I've 
been driving it.
