boostd92 Posted October 22, 2013 Report Share Posted October 22, 2013 I work for a BMW dealership, but have a Mitsu dealer next door. I'm about to do a basic tune up (no timing chain stuff) on my 87 Conquest and was wondering what parts I should definitely get from Mitsu. The only thing on my mind right now is a Vacuum Advance unit. Any hints? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caliber308 Posted October 22, 2013 Report Share Posted October 22, 2013 (edited) Standard Ignition: Part no. VC 269. Vacuum Advance.You should be able to purchase it at just about any Auto Parts Store. Mitsubishi part no. MD611360 Vacuum Advance.Dealer Only item.

boostd92 Posted October 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2013 So have you used the Standard Ignition part? Is there a reason to get the Mitsu part instead? Any other dealer-only (or dealer-better) parts anyone can think of? (PCV, fuel filters, anything?) Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAinsworth Posted October 22, 2013 Report Share Posted October 22, 2013 You definitely need to use OEM pcv. Jimmy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malykaii Posted October 22, 2013 Report Share Posted October 22, 2013 I'd go oem fuel filter. Not sure if this is true or not, but supposedly according to Proffesor Quest some after market filters are poorly plated and can rust internally. Plus oem is only 5$ more. Second that, oem pcv. Fusable links are oem only as well, but that s not exactly part of a tune up. Also, doubt the dealer is going to have any of this stuff on the shelf.

TexasQuest Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 I'd get as much oem tune up and regular maintenance items you can from them. The stuff fits right and is not getting any easier to find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caliber308 Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 So have you used the Standard Ignition part? Thanks! Yep, for years now. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAinsworth Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 ^^ +2 ....I agree with Bill on using Standard parts.Jimmy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 You can get dealer discounted prices, order all you can man. These parts are not getting easier to find. OEM makes a difference, fit and quality wise. I know you seenit with BMW parts, customers come in to order OEM after they had a bad experience with after market.

marso Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 OEM as much as possible. Buy two if they have them in stock because they won't be around much longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starfighterpilot Posted November 7, 2013 Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 I use the Mitsu distributor cap cuz it comes with an o-ring to seal the cap to the distributor. MD119754. After market dizzy caps don't come with this o-ring. The o-ring helps to keep moisture out of the distributor internals. For What It's Worth.

DRFTQUEST Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 What's the OEM throttle body/ intake manifold vacuum hose assembly part #Those are hard to find for me at the moment. Definitely must have OEM part or can I replace w regular vacuum line hoses from auto parts store? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely must have OEM part or can I replace w regular vacuum line hoses from auto parts store? There have been a few posts recently which talk about the engine vacuum tubing. Suggest that you search for and read them - so we don't have to re-invent the wheel. For What It's Worth. KEN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
