January 15, 201016 yr giving up on the electronics in my 87 XT. I have a newly rebuilt EA82 MPFI non-turbo I want to put into something else. What will it "bolt" into without rewiring the car to make it work? Another XT is obvious, but I haven't found one on CL within 500 miles worth going to get! Bill (in Denver area)
January 16, 201016 yr ugh.......that sucks. I just got the electronics in my now "non-turbo" 89 GL with MPFI working sweet. New injector pigtails, CTS connector, AAV connector. Man it runs smooth........... Except for the Fackin Cracked head(leaking water into exhaust) and the low oil pressure to the passener side bank (means either 2 or 3 rod bearing is toast) . Motor runs good, but is loud (TOD) and burns coolant and gets hot. How much to ship to Oregon LOL!
January 16, 201016 yr Author I hear ya...all this started from a similar cracked head. All I did was pull the heads, replace the cracked one and do a valve job on both, new head gaskets and put it back together. I just knew I had hooked something up backwards the first week of searching what was wrong. But after removing all electrical connections I had moved and reconnecting them, then removing again, cleaning and reconnecting, then removing again, replacing many and then reconnecting, I knew I had another problem! My Weber transplant worked but no tach and I hate fiddling with Wrber's anyway. That why I won't put them on my racecar (66 Cortina GT B Sedan). I have toyed with a pair of Solexs' off a bug but it still leaves me with no tach. Currently running a 2 wire distributor off an 85 GL and if someone knows where/how I can pull a lead off the sucker to get the tach back I just mught salvage this project...but my desire is well past waining...

Bill just hook the yellow wire from the original disty harnes onto the negative side of the coil.
