im tring to find out if any other year distribitors will work fo my 84 gl wagon 4wd im sure the pick up is bad it runs for like 7 mins till it gets hot then quits. after that i have no spark. any help would be great

???????????

Any EA81/71 disty will fit. I recomend the 82+ nippondenso (2wd) unit, since it is much higher quality than the hitachi. 81 and older units are odd and have external modules. Hitachi units I believe started the integral modules in 81. If your shopping online make sure the unit you get is for the EA81 not the EA82. To be safe Ide make sure fitment is for 82-84 model years.

Im assuming you have tested the coil, as its a more common failure. The module can be replaced inside the disty, Ive seen them cheap on ebay in the past. You probably have a decent ammount of hitachi shaft play making it a wasite to just throw a module in it.
