If your car is running poorly it is more likely the "lean burn system" located in the air cleaner. This is an over done electric ignition that after 20 years is probably shot. NAPA sells the replacement module for $135.00. A MOPAR electric ignition conversion kit #P3690426 is about $200.00 and will fix your problem for good. Don't go into the carb until you try the ignition. I did and it was the ignition system which I replaced and it runs great with the kit.
In order to test the lean burn, you simply unplug the harness from the module. Then, purchase a points distributer from an older version,1966 to the 70's. Then hook the ground wire from the distributer to the negative on the coil, and the car will start. it will run on the mechanicals, but in order to find vacuum you have to find a port with no vacuum at idle.
1985 - 1226870 ECM, there is also a mass burn off module in there but i dont know the code for that one.(mass burn off is specific to 1985 TPI system only)

Your headlight is leaking, allowing water to enter the lens. when it is on water will burn out the bulb.
Yes. I purchased one from the local NAPA store & it was defective. Luckily, I saved the old computer. The problem with the car was a bad coil. Oil from the body had leaked up into the terminal tower where the coil wire attaches. The conversion kit available is not a good alternative for this car because of the electronic feedback carb. As a result, with only 62,500 miles, I reluctantly traded my '85 in on the "Cash for Clunkers".

Electronic carb. The ignition module on the air cleaner is the most likely culprit. You can try cleaning the carb with spray, but the spark advance is controlled by the lean burn module on the air cleaner. It most likely is not working. Also check the O2 sensor for replacement. A lot of owners replace the lean burn system with a standard electric ignition conversion and bypas the the lean burn system.
Chrysler used 2 models of carbs in 1986 on the Slant 6 depending on whether the vehicle came stock with the "lean burn" system or not. Short answer, lean burn models used a Holley 6145 carb, non lean burn used the Holley 1945. An internet search armed with this information should lead you to a posted diagram of your model.
