I swapped the distributor out of the '87 QSW into the '85 QSW and that fixed the no spark problem. Culprit was the hall effect sender on the '85 QSW. I see a...

I got a dizzy from a junkyard today from a Quantum wagon, non Syncro, though. Is the dizzy from a non-Syncro Q compatible? On the '85 QSW, the plastic portion...
Yeah, that dizzy should work. However, I believe that the vacuum advance curve is slightly less aggressive on the non-syncro. That difference, along with the...

All of the Aftermarket parking brake cables listed for the QSW do not work. The only way is to get them through the dealer, they ain't cheap if not ...

I checked ETKA and the part number for an 86 rear brake cable is: 321 609 721A It may be that the 85 used a different cable since the rear brakes are a little...
Yea, I went round and round with BusDepot (or was it GPR?) about this. There must be an error in whatever big national database autoparts stores use. They...
