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.

Do you have a wiring diagram? There is a relay on the firewall that switches between the 2 pickups. Do away with it and make sure the wires for the pickup you are using wind up going to the ECU. Recheck the timing when you get it wired correctly. As for the spark being weak, how did you get the wires to reach the dist. on the 440? Double check the connections and the polarity.
