Re: 1981 Tercel Part Desperately Needed

Hi Marlinh, I will definitely still be here to keep you posted. It does not seem like I will be going anywhere soon since I can not get any parts. I went over the weekend to that place but they were closed. I will try this week again. Thanks.

Re: 1981 Tercel Part Desperately Needed

Hi Irowiki, its the blade. All the blades that the man tried at Canadian Tire did not install into the arm. And he could not install a new arm either since he did not have that part that fit my car. So, once again, I am in need of another part that I can not find. I am in area L2h 3E7 - Niagara Fall...

Re: 1981 Tercel Part Desperately Needed

Hi Marlinh, yes I will go next week to that shop. I am looking forward to going. I hope its not another disappointment and that they could help me with all that I need. I tried that wipe of the distributor but it was just oil and I could not determine anything. If I could find a mechanic I want them...

Re: 1981 Tercel Part Desperately Needed

Hi, Irowiki. Thank you for outlining the steps for fixing the distributor. I took a snapshot of what you wrote so that I could show it when I find a mechanic. And of all the things you said one of the hardest was finding and having a mechanic. I wish I could have found that older mechanic that has w...

Re: 1981 Tercel Part Desperately Needed

Hi Irowiki, its the blade. It just popped and broke while making a left turn. I went to Canadian Tire and the man opened up every single 15 inch blade he had and none of them fit. So, I doubt that Walmart would have anything that fits and I strongly doubt that they would let me open up and try each ...

Re: 1981 Tercel Part Desperately Needed

....And Marlinh, thanks for explaining the origin of the leak and what it means. Nobody at Canadian Tire told me that or even tried that. So, thanks for telling me.

Re: 1981 Tercel Part Desperately Needed

Hi dib and marlinh, thank you for that recommendation. I just sent Jarf a pm message. Hope I get a response. Do I have to go anywhere special to retrieve a pm message? Or does it come to the same place as all my other messages such as these? Marlinh, in answer to your question I do not know what an ...

Re: 1981 Tercel Part Desperately Needed

Hi Petros, I wish you were nearby too. I think she is getting worse. She now sometimes stalls when waiting at a red light too long. I took her to Canadian Tire and I was told that its not the distributor doing the stalling but the carburetor, which means I have another problem. I hope that is the pr...

Re: 1981 Tercel Part Desperately Needed

Hi Marlinh, she is in Niagara Falls, Ontario. However, she is originally from Vancouver Island, B.C. Any previous mechanical work was done there. Maintenance currently is being done by Canadian Tire in Ontario. I don’t know of anyone else. I have asked at car shows but no one at those shows owns or ...

Re: 1981 Tercel Part Desperately Needed

Hi Petros, thank you very much for both your encouraging words and confidence in my ability to be a quasi mechanic and change the distributor, however, I can not share your confidence. I have never even changed a tire, and thank goodness for AAA, much less even know what is underneath the hood. I am...

Re: 1981 Tercel Part Desperately Needed

Unfortunately, it is leaking underneath the distributor and there is no way to take s picture of it. The leak is on the engine and on the floor. That’s where you see it.

Hi rer233, do you know if the kit would work on a Tercel? A Canadian Tercel with a 3A engine?

Re: 1981 Tercel Part Desperately Needed

Hi Irowiki, been there and done that at carparts.com and, unfortunately, it led nowhere. I contacted all those on the list and it might surprise you how many times I was told they had the part with the right number and when I asked them to send me a picture of the tag on the part, that I found out t...

Re: 1981 Tercel Part Desperately Needed

Hi Petros, I am in Niagara Fall, Canada. What you described about the distributor’s repair is what I am afraid of. The mechanic at Canadian Tire said that he would be afraid to open up the distributor to see if it’s the oh rings only to find out it’s some other part or piece that he does not have to...

Re: 1981 Tercel Part Desperately Needed

Hello all, I know nothing of points. I don’t even know what they look like if I were to look at the distributor. And its a Canadian Tercel purchased on Vancouver Island and currently residing in Niagara Falls, therefore its engine is 3A (EXPORT) and not 3AC. And I still do not know if it should have...
