    BACKGROUND NOTE #1: Kelly ~ NO distributor vacuum advance actuator is listed for 1985 & 1986 Dodge Ram50 trucks ~ BUT 1987 & 1989 actuators fit perfectly on my 1986 Dodge Ram50 with Mitsubishi distributor...

    BACKGROUND NOTE #2: Maybe your truck died from a flooding condition & not fuel starvation..? It happened to me flooding felt like it ran out of gas as it died... Have you got spark..? Have you got gas squirting from the accelerator pump action (gas cap on & off..?) Gas gauge is acurate..?

    My 1986 Dodge Ram50 Owners Manual shows fuel tank capacity either 15 or 18 gallons for the 2.0L engine but only 18 gallon fuel tank on the 2.6L engine

    Fat chance the 1985 fuel tank will fit your truck ~ have fun finding out for sure ~ hope for an answer here quick

    Got access to a boroscope (?) that is safe for explosive use; maybe your tank is clean inside..?

    Meanwhile get out the tape measure & Google too... A rotten tank should be replaced, right..?
