L Series EA82 distributor cap register
Posted: Sun Mar 04, 2012 10:26 am
Given that it is only the EA82 that has given the problems of numerous distributor caps and their part numbers and availability ...surely it is time to set up a register and links etc of all the various caps we can identify along with rotor buttons.
To do it correctly pictures will help, measurements are also helpful, so too the part number of the dizzy including its manufacturer.
We have had EA82 carb, EA82 mpfi NA, EA82T and of the latter two a choice of 3 plug or 4 plug ECU
I can start it off by my 85 made, 87 compliance plated L Series GLTA sedan 3 plug ECU EA82T uses Bosch GH617 cap , rotor GH605
My 4.87 made Vortex EA82T uses Bosch GH623 cap
Other dizzy cap numbers genuine
22162AA000 for 1800cc NA MPI 3 plug ECU so dizzy has mech advance and vac advance
22162AA020 and 22162AA040 for 4 plug ECU NA MPI and TURBO
rotor part numbers look like 22157AA000 or 22157AA001
Some pics of GH617, GH605 and GH623 in here
showthread.php?t=19085&highlight=distributor
Further reading shows there is also a two module EA82 distributor ??
The part number of the dizzy would help this register TOONGA !
Luckily most EA82 dizzies share the same ignition module with the EI EA81 dizzies , still available new in Oz and USA
and here is also good three page thread on dizzy caps
