(edit: Oh apparently this was my first post. Hi all! Been reading for a while but I guess never posted.)
So I have this 1985 LX, that stared out life as a 2.3L, apparently (according to the VIN...). The previous owner converted this to a carburated 302 a long time ago, and also switched the mechanical for an electric fuel pump. This car was in bad shape when I bought it, and I'm slowly trying to bring it back to life. It's running now (yay!), but the engine bay wiring is such a rat's nest of dry-rotted, spliced, bare and disconnected wires, I'd love to just rip it all out and start over.
I've looked around, and saw that I have an EEC-IV (is that from the 2.3 or the 302? Or do they both use the same module?), a Duraspark module, a box that says IASF next to the duraspark module, and the stock ignition coil that contribute to the bulk of this wiring mess.
Is there a good way to replace all of this in one fell swoop? The MSD stuff looks promising, but I don't quite understand what e.g. the MSD 6AL would replace of the above, or how much of a hassle it would be to get the engine set up and running with it again.
Thanks in advance!
(edit: Oh, I forgot to mention I already replaced the distributor, spark plug and wires with new ones. So *ideally* I'd love to not have to replace the distributor again for this new setup...)
