I am trying to find out which ACDelco ICM is correct for my truck.....D1943A or D1984A. The info on Rockauto shows the D1943A is for "W/O HEI". I guess then D1984A means for HEI distributor. I also went to ACDelco's web site and entered my VIN, and it lists both ICMs for my truck, again with the "W/O HEI" notation for the D1943A.
My VIN is 2GCEC19K0R1134189. The VIN decoder shows I have K code engine L05.
My distributor has the coil mounted separately in front of it. The electrodes on top of the distributor cap are "male". I have looked all over the web and it seems people use both ICMs. Also, apparently there are several variations out there of HEI distributors, with the coil built into the distributor cap or mounted separately in front of it.
A few years ago, while driving down the freeway, my truck just quit. Crank, no start. Had it towed home and started checking and reading. I ended up ordering a D1943A module put it in and the truck stated and has run fine ever since. But now that I have found out about the D1984A, I'm wondering if I have the wrong ICM in it, and it's running ok inspite of it?
Can anyone tell me for sure which ICM I should have in my distributor? How can I tell if mine is non-HEI or HEI for sure? I have done a VIN decoder sheet and it does not say anything other than it is a K code engine, L05.
