Hi,
I've been lurking here for a while ever since I bought my 82 brat a few weeks ago.
Found a cherry GL up in LA with close to no rust, just a little by the passenger door hinge. i picked the thing up and as soon as I drove it a few hundred miles it started missfiring and the tach would jump around. Took the disty cap off to find the points hacked up by the rotor. the rotor itself had a tremendous amount of slop in it and would bounce around.
My question is what distributor came in the early 80s GL 4x4. (EA81)?
I find the Hitachi and Nippondenso remans for sale but I have been reading on here that if you mix the two its bad juju.
I cant seem to read the stamp on the original on the car and I dont want to pull it unitl I have a new one in hand.
please help
