thanks. just found out. hitachi it is..

ok it's a stick so were those all hitachi?? and where do i find the #'s on the carb to get the correct kit? it's still in the car. anything else i should know? thanks!!

schweet!!

well, time to tear it apart and prep for new ones. not looking forward to this.

sucker was shakin' and shudderin' the whole way, but she made it home! lil brat has never let me down.

not my brat. i drive truck to and from seattle and surrounding areas and am amazed at the amount of brats and older soobs i see on the road up there. i prolly have seen a few board members on the road!

coil.

i suspect your ignition switch is shot. similar thing with my brat. no spark/electrical whatsoever. replaced switch and life is good once again. new will run you about 40 bucks but a j/y switch should run about 5 to 10.

i bought a disty from john no problemo. brats running great now. just other stuff wearing out on it now........

clean out your pm box!!!!

i have an 81 dual range here in oakridge oregon. i know of another one up here that doesnt move much but im sure it runs.

i know the kits don't exist anymore so i was wondering if anyone has specs on making my own. man, there has to be a warehouse/storage locker fulla those things just sitting somewhere forgotten about.......

thanks, called around to the local yards, no luck. i'll have to think of something else. may just have to find a junker cheap that has spare parts. but thanks anyway....

replacing the darned thing sounds like the best idea yet!! popped the disty cap and found a little more movement in the shaft than i feel comfortable with. now the trick is to find one. *sighs*

so is it possible to just replace the bushing or am i looking at another disty??

it's more of a scraping noise. replaced cap and rotor. still same. its the bouncing tach. needle thats got me stumped. and i occasionally get a horribly loud scraping noise when i start it. not starter, checked that. it didn't start acting up until the bouncing needle started.

hello everyone! i own a '81 brat with an EA81 and hitachi dist. 180k and still running strong!! synchros in tranny acting up a bit but not bad, i just double clutch to line back up when being difficult. now heres my problem. i'm getting a small ticking, about 500 rpms worth, constant, with no noticable engine surge showing on my tach and a faint grinding noise comming from dist. when it ticks. any ideas?? MY FIRST POST, YAY!!!
