September 20, 200421 yr Will a 1987 dual range wagon have SPFI? If it is a certain model (gl, GL-10) will it? I am looking for the elusive SPFI dual range combo. I called a buy here/pay here lot that has an 87 wagon with the dual range, but they don't know if it is carbed.
September 20, 200421 yr Tell them to pop the hood and LOOK! SPFI will have a big rubber snorkel coming from an airbox + MAF on the passangers side upto the throttle body. Carb will have a big metal blue air cleaner right on top. If you could get the VIN you could call a dealership and they would know.
September 20, 200421 yr Carb will have a big metal blue air cleaner right on top. My '87 carbed GL wagon has a black air cleaner. :-p Gary
September 20, 200421 yr My '87 carbed GL wagon has a black air cleaner. :-p Gary Time for a junkyard upgrade! Maybe it was the EA81s that had the blue air cleaners?
September 20, 200421 yr I parted out an 89 that was d/r w/spfi, if that helps any. I think all 4wd non-turbos were carbed through 87.
September 21, 200421 yr My daughter and I were both on here a couple of months ago about problems with her 1987 GL, 4WD D/R with SPFI. Someone said in a reply that all the California '87's had SPFI. Ray Mac
September 21, 200421 yr Most '87's had carbs, all (pretty sure) '88 and '89's had SPFI or MPFI/Turbo.
September 21, 200421 yr Yes, they discontinued the carbed ea82 after the 87 model year entirely now that I think about it. Oh yeah, gleeful little tidbit: I'm soon going to have an 86 SPFI d/r wagon. Rare yes, because they never came from the factory!
