    Ive seen a couple of those carbed EJs in person, personally thats my preference, I like carbs. Throttle linkage is no problem, Weber has throttle bracket kits that bolt to the carb, and aftermarket co

Well... Finally, I Have the Numbers :)

 

I Obtained the Number of Each Part, but let me Tell you that there are Two Different Part Numbers for the Complete Distribuitor for Subaru EJ Engine, but Both Use the Same internal Parts.

 

  • The EJ Engine Distribuitor is Listed in the Dealer's Manual with Part Numbers:

22100 - AA460 and 22100 - AA550

 

  • The Rotor Head is Listed with Part Number:

22157 - KA060

(item Nº 15 on the Manual's List)

 

 

  • The Cap-Assy is Listed with Part Number:

22162 - AA090

(item Nº 14 on the Manual's List)

Also, the Last Time I Went to the Dealer's Shop, I Took some Pictures of Their Manual with my Cellphone's Camera, Sorry for their Poor Quality but They Gives the Idea:

Seems like I've Just Solved the Mistery about Why is so Scarse and Hard to find those ignition Parts for the Carbed EJ Engine...

I Hope This information will be Helpful.

Hey, I have an EJ22 in my 87 GL, I have had nothing but problems with it, The engine is 90-94 mpfi, what besides the intake do I need to convert this thing?

 

I will hack and fab my own manifold, If i don't solve this issue soon i am going to revert to the 1.8. I have got to start saving some money on fuel, my ranger gets 15 mpg.

and it's killing me!

This is the rear of the passenger side head and I believe that is where the distributor goes.

 

 

 

Thanks in advance,

yeah thats where the dizzy goes....i have one on my EJ22 swapped ute

Just starting my project and I'm using a 83-85 escort Disty..

I could be mistaken but I believe that they are not electric. The one that bratsrus1 sold me has the vacuum advance closed off and has the mounting holes widened.

Those part numbers don't work on Subaru Of America dealer system if anybody was going to try a local dealer in the USA give up on that.

Sweet!, Do you happen to know which distributor is better for this application?

Ah, a new project.:banana:

 

i have a factory subaru dizzy that was fitted originally to a 1.8 DL Legacy

Those are all actual Subaru parts though aren't they? I am thinking of doing the escort dizzy for ease of locating it. However...

 

I know where there is an early legacy with a 1.8 liter in it, I wonder if it's dizzy would bolt up to my 92 lets call it (it's 90-94 i can't remember) EJ22?

 

My engine came from a made for Japan car.

i think i heard of someone on this forum who put a carby off of some kind of harley onto an ej22.

I read that post too, I am using my 2 barrol Weber.

I ground down the area where the coil pack mounts today. Now it's flat and ready for cutting the intake holes for the carb and i need to drill and tap for mounting studs. I have a piece of 1/2" aluminum left over from the EA-EJ engine adapter plate That I made, to make a custom plate once i remove the throttle body. I am going to try and locate a low pressure fuel pump tomorrow along with a distributor.

the motor you want to get the dizzy off is a JDM carburated EJ18....the dizzy on a SPFI EJ18 is totally wrong because its a optical cam position sensor type set up

 

the right type of dizzy is easy to figger out....it has a vacuum advance sticking off the side and it look like a 'real' dizzy, not a dizzy cap bolted to the back of the head lol

Well, I took a chance today and got a distributor from an 86 Escort, new cap and rotor, $65.- buck total. It bolts right on to the back of the head and perfectly fits the groove in the cam. :banana: :banana:

 

Just a little cleaning and I'll be good to go on that, except i need to figure out what to do with those three wires.

...or Obtain a Latin American / Asia \ Aussie Specs Subaru EJ Engine,

which Stock comes with Carb & Disty:

Kind Regards.

 

We never got the carb'd EJ engine - only fuel injection over here UNLESS it was a grey import which means that it was not shipped to australia by subaru australia...

 

i think i heard of someone on this forum who put a carby off of some kind of harley onto an ej22.

 

That's awesome!

 

Cheers

Okay, I have searched and searched, but can't figure out what to do with the three wires from the Escort distributor. Can anyone tell me where these hook to the car?

Hi This is Jerry, the red wire is key start the red with green stripe is the hot wire from the coil the other wire is the ground side of the coil. Thanks Jerry

of all of the different distys i looked at , and or bought to take apart(about 10) none of them wired the same.

i went to the ford dealer and found a schematic for the early escorts and EXP's.the thing about it is that ford, like subaru changed wire colors from year to year.so, it might behoove you to get ahold of a ford guy, or a wiring diagram for that specific year that you got it from/for.

 

AND i'd like to see a disty that just bolts right to the back of the head that has not been modified to fit.it simply won't happen unless it is factory......

cheers, b

I marked out the holes.

Cut the holes using a hole saw and an electric drill.

Mounted My adapter plate.

And then the Weber, yes it is at an angle, just temporarily though, till i find a wedge of aluminum.

As far as the Dizzy, I used an 86' Ford Escort and aside from widening the mounting/adjustment tracks, no modifying needed. It just bolted right in.

Is there a groove for an o-ring on the Escort disty to seal the back of the head and does it fit w/o mods to head or disty? If so I'm going to get one :)
