i purchased a new EA82 for my 87 GL. the distributor is different. i went to the junk yard and noticed its the same on all GLs from 1989+ my question is: is there a way to wire the newer distributor to my current harness or do i need to replace the harness and/or change to a newer ECU?

sorry for the lagged response. thanks for all the info though! i do believe the trans is stranger as some have suggested... though first gear just went out on it so im hunting down a new one.. i have an EJ22 5spd, though i dont know the model.. ill be examining it soon as its in someone else's garage right now

will it match up with the xt6 trans? (5spd) if not, is there an adapter, like the one for the EA82 cars?

ok thank you for the shopping list but the jb weld was used on a snapped part inside the cam carrier where th ebolt threads into. the female threaded section (whatever its called) snapped in half on the inside. this means i cant bolt down the valve/rocker arm cover so i would need a new cam carrier unless theres another fix

so im screwed but thats cool that theres no gasket i guess... so i need a new one and i have to tear my engine apart to put it in... anyone still wana sell me one?

well its just the valve cover so i think theres a good chance it will hold. if it doesnt im glad these heads split in half so i dont have to change a head gasket (which i have never done before) although getting a cam carrier gasket might be difficult. they probably need to be replaced anyways and this gives me an excuse to send the cams down to delta cam in tacoma

so it turns out that i snapped the female threaded piece in the cam carrier in half.. i JB welded it and im hoping for the best...

it worked... i was so freaked out i wasnt thinking really

ok ill give it a shot... ive been using a ratchet wrench

i just resealed my rocker arm/valve covers but the last bolt i tightened moved in a way that felt wrong so i started loosening it and it wont come out...it just spins and spins.. i cant get a drill in there. what do i do?!?!

XT6. none of the problems of an EA82T and alot more power than an EA82. well.... more power than both

my fan control doesnt work anymore so i wired my fans to the battery and to a switch which leads to ground but it fried the switch so... should i just add a resistor or should i do something else?

how much do you want for an XT6 radiator???? and where are you? if youre in western washington i will drive to you if the price is right

im 99% sure i have a GL radiator in my car. i went to get a hose and noticed it was way too long and lower radiator pipe is a smaller diameter than my water pump pipe. this causes it to constantly leak. the previous owner had a smaller hose adapter inside the larger hose but its worn out now and i cant find a replacement. i would prefer to have an XT6 radiator but im not sure which one is correct. heres a link -im pretty sure this one is correct (1985 - 1991 Subaru XT Vista-Pro Automotive Radiator) http://www.drivewire.com/vehicle/subaru-xt/radiator/?wZRd4It&dwcid=B1266309530W4b7a599a692e4 that website shows a radiator with the lower pipe in the center of the radiator. is that correct? and what is the other pipe pointing downward for? also, can i use a legacy radiator? i heard the diameter was the same as what i need.

thanks for the picture
