Recommended Posts

My first outing with it. does alright even running on 3 cylinders.

and going to do a carbureted EJ22 swap into it :banana:. I was wondering about the distributor and if there is a specific way of timing it with the engine, or if i can just hook it up and be on my way once the engine is in.

 

It should look like this i believe on the back passenger side of the engine.

If you're going to run that disty w/o ECU you will need a vacuum pot for advance and also centrifugal advance as engine rpm increases.

 

What car did this disty come off? You might be able to pick one up if it was also available with a carbed engine.

i've tried writing this response like 5 times, and the board keeps ************ing me up.

 

 

you need to add a mechanical advance for tuning.

the timing is about 18*+

i used the same o-ring that comes for the block off plate and it worked fine.(new)

 

after modifying a few of these distys i found that modding them is easier with just a cam, instead of a whole head.and you can fine tune them easier if the shaft is out of the disty as well.

 

if you have any further questions , pm me.

cheers, b

I think Bill said that all of the things to do this swap came from you :grin: But still confused on what wires I will need to use from the Disty if you can help.

So sad that Subaru didn't Sell the Carb + Disty Stock EJ Engined Subarus in USA, only in the "Rest of the World".

We got plenty of those imprezas & Legacies with Stock Carb + Disty Setup in the Early Models, up to 1994 and Now even the Dealer Doesn't have Parts for those Distys.

I've Pics of some Carbd EJ engines and Parts Numbers in this Thread:

Kind Regards.
