distrubutor square and round plugs

andyr354 · 11-14-2005, 07:34 AM

Swapped another 22r into an 84 truck this weekend. The engine in it had a round plug going to the distributor pick-up coil, the on I just put in has a square plug.

The color of the wires are the same, can I just make a short jumper wire to hook it up? I just need to see if this engine runs first before putting to much time in it.

What is the deal with the plugs changing shape? Is one dist a way off different year?
