Hi, Bluski, and welcome to the forum - good to have you.
ECU's are available new, but YIKES they are expensive. There is a place in Florida that rebuilds them for around $150.00. Some on the forum have even repaired them themselves. As for the distributor: I'm not sure about locating a rebuilt or new, but just wait a while and someone may have info on that.
Do be sure to post some pics - by now, you know we love pictures of these trucks!
The greatest gift you have to give to the world is that of your own self~transformation.
Welcome! The ECU on 80s carbureted trucks seldom go bad. More often it’s the carb or other faults that cause drivability issues, and not the ECU. It’s the 90+ trucks with EFI that are more likely to have the computer problems discussed on this forum. Also, if the 87 Max now has a Weber carb, the ECU no longer serves any purpose.
Good luck with the truck.
Thanks for the info. These manufacturer specific forums are great.. I'm not what you'd call a motorhead, and have always depended on these auto and motorcycle forums. I'm going to view the Max tomorrow.
