Re: chrysler ignition 200 82

Josh --

Over the years I've had the Chrysler ignition on three cars -- two '82s and an '83 -- and I've never had ignition trouble with any of them.

However, I always performed several simple maintenance items. First, I always made sure the caps, rotors, and wires were clean and dry. (I toss that stuff in the dishwasher once or twice each year.)

I also ALWAYS lubed the threads on the cap screws with a touch of never-seize.

I also tightened and crimped the female sleeves in the harness connector at the ignition module. At one time Volvo sold tiny sleeves for the module pins, used to increase connector tension. If you can find some, get 'em and use 'em.

I also cleaned the coil tower and confirmed that the push-on connectors were clean, tight, solid, and greased.

My advice is —— "Don't fix it if it ain't broke."

Be aware that pulling your distributor from the block can be a massive, royal pita nightmare.
