January 18, 200917 yr I did some searching and didn't come up with the answer I'm looking for. Will an EA82T and SPFI distributors interchange? I also looked at some online parts sources,they didn't seem to distinguish between to two, but, they were sold less module and then couldn't find where they listed modules seperately. I could use an SPFI unit,(donor for an EA81 SPFI conversion) and I have MFPI turbo units and want to know if I already have what I need. Thanks, Abe
January 19, 200917 yr The distributor bodies themselves can be swapped if you put the corresponding electronics in, I.E. you can't use the SPFI module on a motor with MPFI and a Turbo, and vice versa. The bodies themselves I believe are the same casting as long as its from the same maker, which would either be Nippon Denso or Hitachi. I am about 96% certain of what I just posted -Bill
January 19, 200917 yr They are the same if you're using the electrical pickup stuff in the '87 and later EA82s. MPFI, turbo and SPFI use the same disty but the electrical 4-pin connector might be different depending on years.

I can verify that the 4-pin connector is different between the '87 SPFI and the '91 SPFI. The '87 SPFI had different engine harness connectors than the later SPFI's too. Z
January 19, 200917 yr Author Thanks for the responses guys! My confusion regarding the module got a little clearer when I determined that the component is listed as a crankshaft position sensor. Silly me, when I saw that listed, I thought it would be located near the crankshaft rather than in the distributor body. The combination of components that I hope can play nice together are as follows, I have an '88 DL wagon (SPFI originaly)that came without an engine, an '84 EA81 engine that I would like to put in that car, a SPFI intake from a '92 Loyale, and a distributor from an '88 GL10 Turbo car. I will report back when I make some progress on the project.(I'm waiting for a bunch of snow to go away) Thanks again, Abe Edited January 19, 200917 yr by capn_r added some information
