would that then mean I would also need a 12v coil? The car originally had points so it has a 6V coil with Ballast Resistor.

Hi. have almost completed an EA82 conversion to an L series originally equipped with an EA71. The 82 has an electronic distributor with 2 wires coming out of it. what are these supposed to hook up to? power and ground? or is there a computer or something else i need? cheers

yup sure is. had a look at the 2 dizzys and theyre way difrent so might have a hunt round some wreckers

Ok so I have an L series wagon dual range 4wd with an Ea71. I have just bolted up an EA82 wich bolted straight up with only the mounts that needed changing. As the old EA71 had points ignition and the EA82 has electronic ignition I have a small problem as I don't have the rest of the electronic gear...

I am in the midle of nowhere in New Zealand. I have thought bout an upgrade just dont quite have the money atm.

I have a 1984 MY Leone with an EA71. Exhaust is already 2 inch and has hotdog on it from what im sure is standard, different from every other leone I have seen. Only thing holding it back is the stock muffler wich was removed in favour of a straight pipe. will be getting some kind of cannon muffler ...

I have a 1984 MY Leone. FWD with an EA71. I have all I need for a 4WD Conversion (I Think). The gearbox is from an EA81/82 (Im not sure wich) Will it fit up to my motor or do I need another one?

Now i am confused. Car has been running sweet and gauge hasnt been moving as much but a cuple of min after a 20 km run i removed the radiator cap because it felt really hot. it was as it just emptied the radiator water rebounding off the bonet everywhere. burnt my hand too. anyway I'll be getting a ...

Clutch in MY EA71 is very soft and also slips a bit. Works sweet as with normal driving but slips when giving it full throtle. Could this be anything other than a worn clutch plate?

sounds like an awesome idea

This motor is an EA71 but i will check timing once I get a timing light

id have to say orange

Those are clean. check out mine rides on 13 inch alloys. plans include paintjob and 5 stud conversion

the thermostat must have been taken out before I had the car wich was a good 8 months ago. Going to garage to get one soon. Also it doesn't seem to be overheating quite so bad now but still isnt right. It has been doing nothing for a month and a half would that affect it at all?

If you ran the engine without the radiator cap on does it blow bubbles constantly? Nope Any water in the oil? Is it using any water? Nope and Nope The uderly on the passenger side - is it wet? Nope How old is the water pump? Is it the original unit as far as you know? Original as far as I know Anywa...

Can anyone help?
I have a 1986 Subaru Leone 1600cc. It is overheating and I have already replaced radiator and removed the thermostat. The waterpump doesnt make any noises or leak fluid so I dont think that is the problem. Motor is also gutless and strugles to get over 90 km/hr.
