DUI distributor questions

So, I'm working on a 71 Bronco with a 302 and the owner would like me to put in a DUI distributor. From what I've gathered, since this has a 1" body lift the distributor should fit under the hood. What I don't know is if the width will be a problem. I'm attaching a picture to show the two fittings either side of the present distributor that have me concerned. Anyone who has been down this road and can shed light on this clearance, please do so.

I'm also wondering since they will set the advance curve according to this vehicle's specs, is that part of the online ordering process or should I order over the phone.

Lastly one of things they need to know is how much the Bronco weighs. I have no idea how much an EB weighs. Even if I knew the base weight of a stock one, there's things I can think of that add weight like the full roll cage, larger tires etc. Maybe I need to find a scale.

The 302 DUI distributor 32720BL fits easily. A stock EB was about 3800-4000 lbs.
