If it's off an '88 hatch, sure... if it's aything else, it will be a FI disty...

 

of course you didn't say if you sill ad the '78 engine or not

Lets assume hes not pulling the disty off a beautiful hatch and it is simply an ea82. In that case the answer would be no.

And , correct me if I'm wrong , he's going to want the automatic for the advance curve - yes?

 

Std. model or Hatchback - not Loyale .... he knew that.

Advance curve is the same between 4WD/2WD. There is no difference according to the graphs in the FSM.

 

As stated - anything other than a Hatchback will be fuel injected and thus will not work.

'85 thru mid '87 you've got carb'd "Loyales" .... FYI.

but he mentioned it was off a 88.

I'm just letting GD know about something in relation to what he offered. Pay attention please.

Yea, we need more information!

 

While we're at it...The NIPONDENSO carb distributor has two governor springs and 2 flyweights. I've swapped out many of those both...just not on a Subaru before.

 

Generally speaking, heavy cars and automatic transmissions use a different advance then manual trans and lighter weight.

wow,well,thanks for many discussion
