AMC86Kid Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 Ok so I currently have this electronic distributor on the 3.4 Is it possible to convert it to a vacuum advanced one ? Could I just buy the vacuum part Or or is it not possible and I have to buy the vacuum advanced distributor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Mesa XJ Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 It might be possible to convert it. But you’ll never find the wiring from the module to the ignition coil . Best bet is to buy new with the model and wiring to the coil Or buy used Edit: Gm only used this style (module to coil wiring) like 1984-6, the older wiring and newer wiring are available but not this wiring.

Green Mesa XJ Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 Looks correct from what I can see. You’re close to getting it timed now, might just get that nailed down before trying to swap in a new distributor. I’m not sure how much you’d have to redo to get back to where you are now.

AMC86Kid Posted May 17, 2020 Author Share Posted May 17, 2020 I’m just gonna try to throw this one in and see if I can get it to work there no real point of tuning in the current one since it’s not gonna stay does anyone know if my engine is a non interference engine ? Or is it possible to ruin the engine if the timing is way off ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Mesa XJ Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 None interference .You should be able to get it close to what it is at the moment just marking where it is at now . Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
