Yes, you can do this, by why in the world would you want to? I agree it can be done, but you will need a resistor for the hot side of the coil. Contact one of the manufacturers of aftermarket ignitions such as Accel or Mallory and ask them for the part number of the correct resistor. It goes between the wire presently connected to the BAT terminal on the HEI and the + terminal on the new coil.

Actually, in 1991 AMC/Eagle had a production cutoff where the early 1991s had a regular distributor, and the late 1991 models had the distributorless ignition system. Another source indicates that only the Canadian models had the regular distributor type system.

Are hei distributors better than regular distributors?
HEI is not just the distributor, it's the entire ignition system and yes, they certainly are better. Plugs last longer, fuel burns better and there is quite a bit less maintenance. The differences are that the coil of a HEI system has to run on a solid state module which is usually mounted somewhere outside of the distributor as opposed to the older style which runs on points that are INSIDE the distributor.
Why are you not getting any spark to your distributor cap in your 1984 Chrysler 5th avenue you have already replaced the pick up coil in the distributor?
check if there is any voltage going to your coil if not the computer very well could be bad if its a lean burn system it will have the computer mounted to the air cleaner and have two wiring harness plugs going to it you will need to replace that unit. or if its regular electronic ignition it will be on the fire wall close to the drivers side hood hinge it will have 2 bolts attaching it and have a plug with either four or five wires to it and a screw in the center hope this helps
