Subeast-EA81

Hey all, after the demise of my 83 Wagon (sold it, then the kid rolled it) i have started work on my 84 sedan again, however i am still stumped on a problem that im having, the Tach jumps, when this happends there a knock from the engine bay (doesent sound like the engine though) and a squeeling noise from the disty, this is all folowed by a miss fire. so i was thinking about replacing the disty to see if that might help,.. if anyone is avalible to maybe have a listen to it and give me there opinion that would be much appreciated, dont get me wrong im a prety darn good wrench, im just stumped, it happens P.s. still on the search for a set of deep offset waggon wheels

Its funny that you use the words "power" and "EA81" on the same paragraph:rolleyes: however my EA81 with full 2 inch stainless exhaust usualy pulls good from 3500 to 4500, never seen 5000 though, so not sure on that avenue.

Yeah its a knock, but there's no rythim to it, its totaly random, even through the rpms, but it occurs less around 2500rpm and up

hey all my 84 sedan 4x4 is still knocking at a cold idle, its a intermitant knock acompied by a squeel, (sounds like belts but isnt) it also causes the tach to jump and car to misfire and die sometimes, when the car warms up its driveable and the symptoms dissappear, however when its cold the knocking causes extream powerloss and the car is not driveable, someone suguested to repalce the disty, but i need more oppinions before make a purchase like that. Thanks

im game for another get together, because i didnt get to make the last one, tell me when and where and ill be there

Well I can move it fore and aft with a pry bar, almost as if it was loose, I havebt checked the disty, that would explane the tach symptoms and the power loss and misfires

anyone? im kinda in a bind here

84 sedan 4x4 with a auto trans,...there is a sound from the belhousing area when its cold, its kind of a knocking sound that happens intermintantly, the tach jumps when it knocks and there is good amonut of powerloss, however when the car warms up it runs fine and there is no noise and powerloss, and the tach works fine, its got me stumpped, i thought about the flexplate because i can stick a prybar in the timing hole and move it forward and back, so any ideas? thanks dusty

Check your CV Axle, i just did all 4, its not a hard task, after inspecting the axle for torn boots or sloppy yokes, check for play in the wheel bearing, and disregard your book when it comes to replacing the bearings in the front, it can be done without taking the steering knuckles to a machine shop email me if you have any further questions, would be glad to help!

Hey all im tired of wheeling with toyotas and jeeps, anyone want to go wheeling around the clark county area?

i dont drive it that hard, and no it doesent smoke at all even at startup, i meen i spotted a small drip at the valve covers, but not enough to make it use up a quart, and my weekly mileage is anywhere from 200-250 @32 mpg

Hey guys, this is my second car with an EA81 N/A, but what i dont understand is that its drinking a quart of oil per week, but there is no sign of bad leaks (just typical valve cover seapage) and when my buddies follow me they say that there is not even a "puff" of smoke even when im hammer down. my 84 2 door never drank this much oil, any ideas?

pushbar is what im realy after

Hey all im looking for a factory Brush Guard for my 83 waggon, and im willing to drive as far as it takes to get one!!! plus i was wondering if anyone might have a BYB 4 inch kit that they would want to sell, or any 4 inch kit, mail me if ya have any of these items @ fordmanfox@myrealbox.com oh and check my profile in a few weeks for the rock crawling pictures.
