Beyond the 3 pin connection from harness is there any other compatible problems with an 85 bosch distributor being used in an 83? I have been fighting a bad idle till it warms up and it dies unless I have the foot on the gas for the first minute or two. I have been searching the archive since realizing I replaced my chrysler distributor with a bosch from an 85. At the time I thought it was an 84 but now realize it was a b230. Could this be the problem. If they are not compatible then why does it run at all?

from the archive, this link got me thinking about this.
