[1979 Wagon - 56,000 miles]

Hope all is well. I have a 79 wagon with 56k miles. It has a spark plug that came out of the head. How hard is putting a helicoil in? Might be willing to sell

I MAYBE, interested in selling my 79 wagon. body is perfect shape. I bought it from the original owners grandson-in-law. The only thing wrong, that i know of, a spark plug shot out of the head. Needs a helicoil...i guess. The orignal bumpers have never been on the car...perfect, not even a scratch. Front seats have some wear and tear but back seat never has been sat in.

 

Again, not sure i want to sell it, but if the price is right i might.

 

let me know

Help...i am working on my wagon. it has 56,000 original miles, had the gas tank redone, new fuel pump, carb rebuilt. It was running ok but the throttle kept sticking. I would push down on it...kinda hard and it would be ok..messed with it a little, now it won't start. Any thoughts or help to offer?

Same here.

 

But if you lift the hood there should be a sticker with the info on it. Also,engine has a raised lettering "EA71" up by the distributor.

 

If its not an EA71 1600 then someone did a swap with an '81.

 

If the starter is located at dead center top of the bellhousing it's the EA71 or first edition of the EA81 1800 which was a one year deal,pretty much,with the top starter. After that the EA81 has the starter located on the upper driver's side of the bellhousing.

 

Enjoy!

 

Just looked...on the engine it says 18-EA71WA2...so i guess it's a EA71.

 

Thanks and i am going to keep working on it.
