I'm a little confused here.

If the 440 distributor has 1 wire, then it has points.

If it has a two wire harness, than it is the electronic unit.

Maybe post a pic.

Does the 87 use a regular looking moapr Ecu?



I think the 87 has the Lean Burn type distributor which has two pickups/connectors and if I remember right there is no Mechanical advance inside the dist.

Since you have swapped it out for a single pickup distributor I would suggest you replace the wiring to the ECU & distributor. The harness is cheap enough and it would make sure you have a good setup. I am not sure how much difference there is in the wiring for the lean burn systems beyond the second pickup but that is definitely a biggie. Better to bypass it all and start fresh.
