191 905 351D is the number of the ICM that was in my 1985 Coupe GT
originally, but I replaced it with a 191 905 351B from my 1983 Coupe and
that worked fine too. It's that little guy hiding above the glovebox on
the aluminum heatsink. I guess the letter at the end only specifies
which type of car the part was originally meant for... or the D was a
slightly updated model... either way, it worked...

I need to try another one out, because I'm now operating under the
theory that my ignition problems were related to an out of spec coil
burning up my original, new($10 Lucas on ebay...), and old `83 ignition
control modules. Greg Roa (thanks Greg!) discovered that the ohm specs
listed in the Bentley (and my crappy Haynes) manual for his 86 and my
85's coil were actually for the 4 cylinder's coil... My (and his) coil
would spec within the limits listed in the manuals, but since they were
for the wrong coil, we though for a while that our coils were in spec.
Once he discovered this, he switched his coil, and his car stopped
burning up ICM's. I would like very much for that to be the end of my
story as well :)

I've got a new coil (brand new) in there, and I'm still having the
occasional cut-out / stall... so I'm thinking my replacement 83 ICM is
half way to gone since it was hooked up to my old coil and eventually
started acting up as far as I can tell..

Thanks-
