'83 was a mixed year, all B23Fs got Chrysler ignition, but only some (the early ones) got the slightly inferior Chrysler distributor (round plug). The Bosch distributor with the round plug (what you have in the '83) is a drop in replacement. The Chrysler cap is WAY wider and screws onto the base, so I know you've got the Bosch.

I was always told that the round Bosch distributor was the only compatible distributor, but I believe the rectangular plug version is identical in function. There are three connections to both the round and square types, so if you really wanted to, you could probably adapt the two. I cannot confirm this to be correct, as I have not seriously looked into it.

But, all things considered, there's no reason not to use the round plug distributor you already have.
