Sounds like two things you should address for sure. The air mass meter, the silver kind, are total garbage. I chased problems on my 83 for years until finally replacing the ECU on the passenger side compartment and repining the AMM wiring clip to work with an 85-87. It gave me a lot more power and a constant idle.

The Chysler distributor needs to go too. But the problem you'll face is the pigtail wire that comes off the white caps. It will have a round connector and the bosch are square. I soldered end to end a pigtail off another harness. You can change the whole ignition harness from the ICU in the engine bay to the distributor. Shoot I was at a pic n pull today that has a bosch distributor and the computer from an 86. The AMM meter is missing but I have an extra 007 for an 86. If your up for the swap let me know. text me 801-706-7677

PnP prices are
Distributor $40
ECU $25
harness $13-25
AMM $20
Plus shipping and a little for my time.


The instructions on repinning are in the archive. Its pretty straight forward and easy.
