Hi, I bought a cap cause the old one has the inner collectors too worn out, but when I tried to replace it, I noticed the old uses screws instead of clips, then I called the parts store, and they told me it was the only one left... What do you think? Should I try to drill this new one to put screws, or shuold I keep on lookin'?

 

I think this should fit on my 89 GL with carb, but I want in for my 93 MPFI.

 

Thanks!

 

 

Get the correct cap even if you have to order it. Clean the contacts of the old if you have to use it until you get a new one.

The ea82 uses screws, the ea81 uses clips.

 

You can't just put screws in that one, you'll never get the timing right. Just have them order the correct cap. Most auto part stores can have it the next day.

Thanks, then I won't even try. And you are right, I just had to speak with the correct person at the store, probably next monday they will have it for me

 

But I have to tell you, not all EA82 uses screws, my 89 GL with carb uses clips.

I should have said spfi too. I don't really know anything about the carb setup.
