I have already modified a v8 dist. to fit the engine. I could run a single point ign. fairly easy. What I don't know is if a Mopar electronic box will fire a four cyl engine. I will wire the cap with every other terminal being used. The reason I want to do this is I have been having somekind of electrical gremlin at work. The engine will run fine for about ten minutes and then it shuts off. I have tried replacing just about everything on the engine to no avail. I will also be replacing the carb with a Holley 350 two barrel. Thanks guys Dennis Jokela I started out with nothing,and I still have most of it.

Thanks guys Dennis Jokela The symptom you describe sounds like the pick up in the dist.... quite common... after it heats up it goes open

The computer has been removed and sent to Standard ign.to be tested..It passed, I also substituted another 84 computer no change. I used to race this car in stock class when it was fairly new.

Why don't you just update to a later model fuel injection harness , intake with injectors? They made a MPI without the turbo or use a TBI setup. I think you would be going backward with that setup

It will work just fine. The ECU didn't care whether it was installed on a 440 or a slant 6, so it will work just fine on your 2.2. FWIW, the 2.2 guys have adapted a MSD Volkswagen distributor to fit the 2.2. Keeps it all inside the dist and doesn't require you to go through the effort of converting.
