nitsuj80 Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 I recently purchased a NGK spark plug wire set for my EA-81 and the coil wire is too short. I ordered it for the GL which is what I thought my car was. Does anyone have the correct number. It is an 1984 and the registration says GL but it could be wrong I guess. How could I go about verifying this? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Responsible Jon Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 I just had the same problem, no help here, but you aren't alone, at any rate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 Hhhmmm - I just installed a brand new NGK set on my wagon yesterday and it was totally fine. I'll see if I can dig up the receipt or box and get you the part number. DL/GL shouldn't matter in the least. GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ettev Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 I'm starring at a new bow of them right now: From RockAuto...Stock #8002, Part # RC-FE22. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitsuj80 Posted November 4, 2010 Author Share Posted November 4, 2010 Thanks. They sent me a 9350. I will have to get a hold of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bratman2 Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 When you order parts for an EA81 sometimes is pays to look up the part number for the 84 year model. Lots of places confuse the GL (Loyale) parts for EA81 parts starting in 85. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naru Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 FWIW,NGK catalog lists 8002 for 84 brats(turbo or non).9350 for all other 84 ea-81s,9336 for non brat turbos and 8001 for ea-71s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 Weird - the place I buy mine must have a different listing because I told him 83 hatch and got the 8002. GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ettev Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 Yep, agreed on this. I also always order engine stuff for ANY EA81 by selecting 1984 BRAT. It eliminates having to deal with any VIN options. When you order parts for an EA81 sometimes is pays to look up the part number for the 84 year model.

js3000 Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 I had the same problem as well. Still using my old coil wire for now. :-\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 (edited) Here is the 8002 set on my '83 Hatch: Since the distributor and coil location on the EA81's never changes between models, I'm guessing they are selling you guys an EA82 set - EA82's have the coil on the driver's side strut tower and the distributor on the back of the driver's side cam tower - very close together which results in about a 10" coil wire but similar length plug wires since you have two short for the driver's side and two long for the passenger side. NGK wires are numbered so if you find you have to use the 2/4 wires on the 1/3 cylinders then you have an EA82 set.

zacyork Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 worst case scenario you can hit up any good parts store and they sell individual wires by length. just match it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
