Does the Carter distributor differ from the Hitachi.

Featured Replies

I have been scouring the forums for the answer. 

Is the distributor with the Carter carb different than the distributor with a Hitachi carb

As I recall the distributors differ from 2WD to 4WD, with the 2WD distys having a more desirable curve.

Its in my 82 brat just trying to figure out if I can use the disty parts from the Carter attached brat to switch to fuel injection I have the ea82 disty as well since I have to switch the gears over. I'm just wondering if I need to find a disty from a Hitachi attached ea81 or if the Carter will work

All 82 Brats use the same Hitachi distributor regardless of which carb they had.

The Brat model - being 4WD, always uses the Hitachi distributor. The ND distributor was used on 2WD models.

Thanks gd any chance you have a ecu pinout diagram for a 93 loyale. I'm using your spfi write up. But the 93 pinouts don't match up to your diagram. The parts car was a 93 loyale auto.

I'm not aware of any significant differences in the 93's.

Then I'm guessing the wiring harness was butchered at some point ahead of me. I'm haveing troubles with it.

I found an 89 that's manual so I'll pull that and it will be easier from there plus the throttle body looks way better
