My car is an 86 (4 cyl) that has been converted to a 302. I've been reading in the Haynes manual about ignitions. According to the manual, the dist in my car is for fuel injected cars (TFI-IV). (On the side of the dist is a module that has three prongs that fit into the dist (bottom side) and a 6-wire harness that plugs into it.) The kicker is that mine is carbed. I talked to a buddy and he says that this is not possible and does not see how the car is even running. He looked at the module and stated that it was from an EFI motor. Just looking for more opinions because this may be the root of my problem (At 3000 rpm, cars starts spitting and sputtering till you get the rpms down). Also, will an ignition set up (MSD) be the best way to fix this.
Thanks
I don't know what the my engine came out, but it is an older model. If I'm reading the manual right, I've got an EFI dist in a carbed motor. I did not do the swap, I bought it this way and the old man sold it as an original 5.0 and I was stupid enough to not research it more before the buy. (But for $600, I took the bait). Friend said that my engine should have the dist with the vac advance attached to it and an ignition box. I see that type in the manual for the Duraspark ignition.
