i have an ea82 motor in a car and i want to switch it into my ea71 because I NEED MORE POWER does anybody know how to switch em and able to give me some pointers before i go out and rip it out.

Swapping just the distributor? Not sure that's a good idea, but if you know something I don't, then you will need to remove the drive gear, and put the gear from the EA71 disty on it instead. Also you have to remove the tab on one side of the disty housing. This has been done to EA81's when coverting to SPFI, but I have never heard of anyone doing it to an EA71. Also you need an EA82 disty from a carbed car for it to work correctly with the ign. system - oh and make sure the coil is the right resistance for the disty.
