84 Eagle ignition setting

hi, fsjunkie, love your car, believe it or not, mine is the same color, called "Deep Night Blue" code D2, i believe. i also have the same valve cover, $99. from 4wdr hardware. A friend of mine up the street has the exact same car as yours! (mine is a sedan). He bought it for less than a thousand bucks, 'cause it was going to the junkyard due to a bad transmission, well he had the trans redone, also about $1000., and now has a near perfect Deep Night Blue 84 Eagle Wagon, LTD, interior just like yours, minus the console. (mine is base model, sigh...), for about $2500. I helped him replace the original plastic valve cover on it, check out www.yourcovers.com , and look for the AMC/Jeep 258 valve cover. This one is not cheap!, but it's made in America, and is a real high quality piece, cost about 2 1/2 times what I paid for mine! The two really cool things about it are: 1)screw in billet oil cap with o-ring seal (NO LEAKS EVER!), and 2) it's designed to NOT need drilling and tapping on the drivers side (where the problem of drilling into water is), so, though you still have to tap 3 holes on the pass. side, it's as close to a "bolt-on" as an aluminum valve cover for the 258 will ever get, took us most of a whole day to get that sucker in though, almost like work! Anyway, nice Eagle, if you need some emissions parts #s, just ask, before I forget 'em!good luck, gz
