It's been widely publicised in the past that the correct replacement
primary ignition harness for the CV is the Borg Warner G202 or
Standard Ignition RC-6. The primary application for this part is the
early eighties Chevette 1.6, but no one to my knowledge has ever found
a Delco part number and published it.
Hacking my way around the new ACDelco online parts catalog I was able
to determine that they do offer this part - D219. If you look up the
Chevette application it will come up, and if you click on the part
number you get the photo. It also crosses from the above B-W and
Standard part numbers using the online cross reference.
This IS the correct primary harness for the CV, but no one lists it in
their catalogs. BTW as with B-W and Standard the part is named
"capacitor" and it includes both the RFI capacitor and the complete
harness. It should really be called "harness" or "harness w/
capcacitor", but the automotive parts nomenclature game can take some
tricky turns.
It's common for the wires of this harness to break where they exit the
distributor, which can either cause intermittent misfire or a complete
shutdown of the HEI. Keeping a spare on hand and frequent inspections
is a good idea.
