Distributors are mechanical and do not use an engine management system (eg. Haltech) for timing. If you're running a distributor you would run a fuel only computer, like a Megasquirt or a Microtech LT4.

Assuming you have a fuel and spark ECU (ie. some ECUs are fuel only) then you should not even consider the distributer. The Haltech connects to the stock CAS and triggers the stock coils.

If you think a distributor will give you more accurate ignition timing than a standalone you've be terribly misinformed. It would be a big step backwards.

E6a,s,x will fire ignition as well as handle fuel (using the stock CAS, Coils or a dizzy). F8, 9, 10 are fuel only computers and you can use the stock dizzy.
