well my distribitor took a crap. i had a 84 dist laying around i put it in now the car sstarts but runs on what sounds to be 2 cylenders and it wont stay running. i am wondering if the dist is compatable with the 87 t2 stuff?

nope the dist are diffrent 84 85 are the same but you need 86 and up.try your local junk yard or goto mopar or advance and buy a new hep or pickup coil for your old one

thats what i thought. the hep is quite a bit diffrent on the 84 distr than the 87... probably why only 2 cylenders are fireing. well i figured a free fix would be worth the 5 mins of time to see if it would work. guess its off to the parts store. thanx. hopeing a new Hep isnt to pricey.

ya there like 42$$

Hope you didn't go yet, aftermarket HEP's have a high failure rate. It's best to go w/ Mopar.

i was planning on going in the morning... right now i just need it to run or the city will impound the car. i highly doubt any dodge dealer around here will have the part in stock.

I'd check to be sure, it would suck to spend 40 bucks on one, only to be in the same boat in a couple months. Hope you get it goin'! When I start driving my Charger in the spring, I'm gonna carry a spare just in case.

i checked the dodge dealers no one has it. checked 5 diffrent parts store only one had 1 in stock. got it put it in car fired right up..... but... imma have to start a new thread for this cuz it died 5 mins later. :bang head
