December 9, 200718 yr I checked mine today. JF2AT53B1DE503147--5/83 285017 JF2AT53B3DE503151--5/83 286318 (Have to check VIN on hatch) 4/84 532282
January 6, 200818 yr hello all, i just joined and this'll be my first post... well, i have an 84 d/r 4wd 4speed hatchback with an obvious replacement motor. i understand that you're looking for serial #'s off original engines but i was hoping maybe someone could help me figure out what year my engine and carb are likely to be. the engine is stamped 625893, has no gold stickers on valve covers, has the two 10mm bolts on bottoms of heads, has hitachi dist, has 3 belt crank pulley and factory a/c. also, i'm used to the valve covers being the same blue as the air cleaner and mine are black, its obviously possible they were painted but it doesn't look like it - the paint is perfect (minus the effects here and there of heat and oil over 23 years!). my carb is a hitachi dcp306-12 104. the reason i'm requesting this info is the fact that my carb needs to be replaced (upon dissasembly for rebuild i discovered parts missing inside and stripped threads throughout - damn the monkey that's responsible!) anyhow, i ordered a replacement for my year/options application and got a later model hitachi with no numbers but drasticly different vacuum fittings (no vac on the secondary diaphragm, 2 vac ports on choke pull off diaphragm, etc.). near as i can tell, i've got an earlier model engine. also, i was told that with a 5 as the 6th digit of my vin i should have a 1bbl carb. somebody please show me where my steering wheel rolled off to!!!

May 28, 201015 yr is the hydro lifter engine any better than the solid lifter motor? what difference does it make?
May 29, 201015 yr the manufacture date sticker is gone, but my 82 is 709509 and im pretty sure its the original. which would make it a very early 82, prolly manufactured in 81
June 3, 201015 yr i recently replaced timing belts on my ea82. now the car runs on only two cylinders, 2 and 4. help?
