Just to throw this into consideration, when I was messing around with mine, I put my vacuum pump on the EGR itself and found that the diaphragm in there was ruptured or something, as it wouldn't hold any vacuum that I applied. So that means it never opened, and it was a vacuum leak.

I knew a guy with an 81 Celica with the 22r and he replaced his coil with that huge yellow Accel Supercoil and he swore it made a difference...I had my doubts but the factory coil COULD have gone bad I suppose, it was 20 years old. I still run my stock volvo one, its 26 years old, I'd like to replac...

The Weber is what I SHOULD have done...heh actually if the thing wasn't "junkyard ready" in its rustiness, I would have....and that said, I think when get around to finding one in good shape, I will gladly shell out the $$ for the Weber. Or that TBI setup! Or a FI engine hehehhehe Eatpants...

Yes that certainly is true about the easy to work on part, and the availability of aftermarket parts...and they used that engine for what, ten years? Every junkyard is going to have a few for sure...actually last time I was at my pick-n-pull there was a 78 pickup or something with the 20r, that thin...

I rebuilt a carb on an 86 dodge truck once, worked great... I rebuilt the carb on my Tercel a couple months ago, and it SEEMED to go alright, although the car died on me in traffic several times and I ended up selling it for a hundred bucks. And I swear I am never rebuilding a carb again...assuming ...

I've spent considerable time wrenching on 22r vehicles: an 81 celica, 85 2wd normal cab pickup (exteriour bed rails!) did I get the year wrong?, also two 4runners, both 86 I think, one was turbo? The engine is pretty well designed, apparantly ORIGINALLY designed for forklift applications, it is good...

Sorry, don't drink coffee, but I ALWAYS have a pop cup from some fast food joint, ALWAYS.....and it always sat rather nicely in that little bucket behind your elbow, the one over the parking brake lever. As for spilling, I know a guy who used to have a Plymouth Horizon/Dodge Omni and he attempted to...

Anybody ever see those things that are like, half pop-rivet, half nut? You "pop" them in place, and thus you have a nut, more like a threaded insert? Don't know if they would be substantial enough for this case, but it just popped into my head. Never used one, actually....I like the weldin...

Those tranny cooler lines are completely isolated from the other "circuit" in the radiator, so you don't have to worry about it Moots. I took one apart one time (different car but presumably the same) and it was just a section of tubing that went from one fitting to the other, straight sho...
