  1. Thanks guys. I have the coil wired now and moving on to the charging circuit. I am putting my subaru engine on a 3 rib VW bus trans. I am using the bus starter. I know that the (subaru '82) alternator wire (the big white one) goes to the battery and the small wire has to go to either the idiot light or have a 16K resistor in line before the thing will charge. Question: Can I go to the starter relay with my white wire and will it feed through my ignition circuit to recharge the battery, or should I go directly to the battery with the white wire from the alternator?
  2. Thanks for the information. I do have a Hitachi carb, the throttle lever is on the passenger side. However, I will be replacing it with a Holley two stage progressive carp to suite my application better. Question. I have two wires coming from my distributor; a yellow one and the other is black and white. Best I can tell I have an internal ignition control module. Which wire goes where on the Coil??
  3. First question is: Are all EA81s 1.8L? I have an 82 Ea81 with the 4 bolt carb. I know first hand that EA71 4 bolt carb intake will not fit EA81 engine. Second Question: Does any one have a simple wiring diagram they could share that shows what wire goes where for an 82 EA81. Are there any special electronic gizmos I need to know about? (I just have the complete engine, no coil, yet. I am hooking to a 3 rib VW trans and using the VW starter).
