I believe the RWD car 368's in 80 had the computer command carbs which included distributor timing.  Eldo and Seville got the DEFI which also had computer timing. 

To solve the distributor problem just swap the distributor from your old engine.  Let us know if you need instructions on how to do that, there are tricks to make it easier.

The rest of the computer command engine should run OKish without being connected like the throttle position sensor, mixture control solenoid, and egr solenoid.

Just in case you have issues at least hang onto the intake manifold and carb from your old engine, it could end up swapping that stuff onto the 368.

Vanguard motors in Plymouth Michigan has a good reputation for their sales of  muscle cars and now they've branched out to vintage cars also. Mechanically the cars perform very well, are generally clean but pricey. A few examples:

I would really, really love to see an Escalade Chapter happen and would be first in line to sign up. As the owner of a 2002 Escalade EXT (first year EXT) and a 2013 EXT (last year EXT) I have always hoped someone would step up.  I feel whoever does will have a very successful Chapter!

Good evening I have a 1977 Coupe Deville that I put a 1980 368 engine in. My wire harnesses on the 77 is a lil different. It doesn't have the round connection for the distributor and it's missing the plug that runs under the air compressor that goes into the engine. Can I bypass these or what do I have need to do.

I have the huge portrait of Floyd D. Akers, founder of Capitol Cadillac in Washington DC, that hung in the dealership. I'd like to have it donated to the museum only if it's hung up in the museum and not placed somewhere in a storage area. He was a very prominent man with very close ties to Alfred Sloan & Cadillac Motor Division. He supplied many cars to the White House and dignitaries.
