Will a 2.8 distributer work correctly in a 2.9?

I was out mudding at a friends place and landed so hard the firewall shifted forward and cracked my Cap and broke off my ignition control module off the distributor. i have a 2.8 parts truck and i was curious if the distributor would work.

Thanks

2.8 has a vacuum controlled advance, 2.9 is all electronic. There is no where for the TFI and pickup to mount.

Unless you did a lot more damage than your post lets on, sounds like you just need a new cap and TFI anyway, that isn't that expensive.

The 2.8 in my 84 BII was a TFI from the factory, but still, NO it won't interchange exactly as the 2.8 turns opposite the other v6s'. The 2.8 with the Dspark were vac. controlled, however.

Sounds to me like you might have broke a body mount or 2
