Hi all! Just recently purchased a 1982 brat with a ea18 in it. It came with a 2bbl webber carb but it doesn't line up with the intake and I can't seem to find any other ea18 that has an intake that looks like mine. Trying to source a stock one as I think the intakes has been swapped but was hoping someone here would have some insight on what might have been on the car previously as I don't have the old carb. Bare with me this is my first sooby, I'm used to Honda and vw's haha. Thanks!

That's for the fairly rare Carter 1-barrel carb. You could get a matching Carter 1-barrel, or slap anything else on for a good horsepower gain. A 49-state Hitachi is the easiest manifold+carb swap, and parts are easier to get. EA81, not EA18, BTW. If you have access to TIG welding, you could probably weld on a generic Weber converter kit. Here's a Carter that might bolt directly up: https://www.ebay.com/itm/168145191200 Listing doesn't say what it's from, but it looks like the right mount, and even the correct subaru plugs, so it might be an exact match. But, as I said, you'll get better performance with a Hitachi intake swap, and much much much better parts availability.
