ok I DID A SEARCH now having that said my ea82 is poping out of the carb it runns ok at idle but still sputters them POPs real loud out the carb when revved so i was thinkiing timeing but i have it perfect (so i think) timing belts done i have done then 4 or 5 times no prob so thats good but the disty is what im thinking i herd that it was sposed to be at 8 so i tryed that no luch so i tryed at zero cause i saw that in the TB. how to in the usrm and now it idls ok but still pops any one know any info ????

Distirbutor is supposed to be at 8 BTDC. Make sure you don't have the plug wires on in the wrong order.

 

And the timing belts, the camshafts are aligned 180 degrees out, right? Good. They should be.

i'll bet your 2 and 4 spark plug wires are reversed.

 

firing is 1-3-2-4 counterclockwise

I had that problem when I forgot (comparing to other car manuf.) that the subi dist. turns counterclock wise

ok are all subaru cams the same like ea82 ones cause i used a cam from a my parts engine due to the one on mine had a groov in a lobe.

 

ok so i went through the timing method to the letter and then did the 8 btdc for the disty and it still wont run. i did replace the disty becuse it had play in it went from the plug one to the 2 wires is that wrong ?? really need my car guys pleas let me know what i might have done wrong:confused:

There are different cams. There's a break down of the different profiles in a thread somewhere. Carb, Turbo, SPFI and MPFI are all different, and even vary some year by year.

 

If you're worried, you should install a matching set. It doesn't sound like a mismatch in cam profiles is the problem here, though I could be wrong.

 

As far as the question at the end of your post, I have no idea what you said! Think through what you type before you type it. Then reread it carefully.

dose the disty mater like can i use the type With the two wires insted of the one with the plug the one i took off had alot of wires and stuff in it this one dosent have hardly anything. also the cam came frome the same type of engine.

i know some one has to know if the distys are the reson or not ???

What kind of Soob did the distributor come out of, fuel system wise?

 

If the "new" distributor is an SPFI model has a crank angle sensor, I doubt it would work correctly on a carbed car.

the disty on it came off of a carbed engine it is the same engine as mine and it worked then i put another one in it but this one came from an older ea82 it didnt have the little module in it tho.

BUMP ok so i guess i wil have to be a pioneer of this i have my old disty so im gona try it out tomorow when i get a cap for it yea the caps where diferent on them too so i will let yall know cause i can tell u are just baffald and want to know lol

If the disty that was originally in your car worked, use that. There are different types of distributors. Some are interchangeable some are not.

 

You say "same type of engine". Need to know year, fuel induction type, and 2WD or 4WD. All those have an effect on what type of distributor the vehicle received.

ok im gonna try the old one today but it is a late 80s carbed ebgine 4wd dr gas engine lol just a plain old soob it i think the disty from the parts engine is from an older car i meen the engine is from an older subae one with a diferent disty still an ea82 just an older one so i think that is the problem cause it had this problem befor i did the reseal. it ran befor i swapped the disty

ok so after a little cleaning i discover i have a Nippondenso coil and disty lol so i re installed the denso and got a new cap and rotor and install it fires up on the first try :banana: :banana: ITS ALIVE TOOK IT AROUND THE BLOCK AND ITS ALIVE WOOH HOOO lol so the disty cap for a denso is 9 dollers more than a crapachi one but W/E it runns great and i have no leaks.. so in closing what is better denso or hitachi idk why but i like the word NIPPONDENSO sounds expensiv:) and if its expensiv its good:headbang:

Neither is really that expensive. Generally as far as suppiers go I'd bet on Hitachi as being the higher end company(used by Honda and Subaru) as compared to Denso(used on Mazda, Toyota, and everything else japanese). I personally think the Hitachi distributors are better. Higher quality and you can service the Mechanical advance portion.
