Never heard of it...What kind is it?

Ok, I will try to get some pics.
Guess you want some of the points system, right?

Anyway, I didn´t have time to go to the junkyard today...maybe tomorrow....or next week.....or....

I sure hope it is that easy...
Well, I guess I will find out pretty soon.
Say, on wednesday or so.

Sandefjord, Norway...
Around 100 miles south of Oslo...

Actually, it is points(!)
Guess it is an european thing?
Well, I can find corollas and such with 4a engines all day, so I figure that would fit my 3a, but I don´t find much information about what I need.
#1 The distributor...
#2 Some kind of "black box"?
#3 Wires here and there

OR, is that setup ...

HI!

I have an 86 terc, bone stock, and it has points ignition...

Well, my question is: what boxes and things do I need to fit the electronic ign?

Has anyone tried an SU carb on a tercel?

I would guess it should work ok for low rpm in 4x4 :huh:

Someone in oz must have tried it, they put them on everything

And where did the 7a, or what it was, post go? I can´t find it :huh:

I think i saw it yesterday???

Ok, so I got a new dist cap, no change...

I took the dist off, and took it apart, cleaned it(and found it had little ball bearings on the plate the points mount on, dirty and sticking...)
Set the NEW points, no change...

Started to play with the carb, noticed the booster dripping big gulps of fuel ...

Thanks, I will try a bit more...

Yes, it feels like a headgasket, almost, but I don´t think it is, since the car ran ok before I washed it...
But I won´t say it isn´t either.

If I understood right, the us tercels got the electronic distributor, since when?
Is it a lot of work to swap in a ...

Sooo, I basically did the same thing...

But my car runs, but it won´t idle, and it has a BAD miss when driving.

I gave the cap a good blast of wd40, and wiped it off after a while.

It didn´t make a difference at all :(

So, I go and check anything I can think of.
I set the points
I check ...

Oh the duramax has reliability problems...
Yes the heads are cracking.
We have used that engine before, in a small isuzu truck, and it is crap.
Gm need to design velcro engine mounts, because they will have to replace a lot of these engines :P
Guess it does better in a pickup.
But they are nice to ...

So, maybe I have to pick it up again......

I would like rwd, as I tow a trailer a lot.

As for handling, I feel it is two different ways to drive the car, but the front tires on the fwd car has to do all the work, and the rwd can "split" the work on 4 tires???

I had a ford fiesta once, and it was great in the snow, but I could lift the rear ...

Do you know how a idi 7.3 would like a H1E?
I have one of each...soooooo.....maybe.....???????
just a daily driver in a van?

My 86 has points...Does your 84?
A new set made a huge difference on my car.
