mcbrat Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Can you use the distributor off a 1988 subaru on your 1978 subaru? Any ideas welcome.. If it's off an '88 hatch, sure... if it's aything else, it will be a FI disty... of course you didn't say if you sill ad the '78 engine or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that case the answer would be no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moosens Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 And , correct me if I'm wrong , he's going to want the automatic for the advance curve - yes? Std. model or Hatchback - not Loyale .... he knew that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Advance curve is the same between 4WD/2WD. There is no difference according to the graphs in the FSM. As stated - anything other than a Hatchback will be fuel injected and thus will not work. GD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moosens Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 anything other than a Hatchback will be fuel injected '85 thru mid '87 you've got carb'd "Loyales" .... FYI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quidam Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Can you use the distributor off a 1988 subaru on your 1978 subaru? Any ideas welcome.. Yea, we need more information! While we're at it...The NIPONDENSO carb distributor has two governor springs and 2 flyweights. I've swapped out many of those both...just not on a Subaru before. Generally speaking, heavy cars and automatic transmissions use a different advance then manual trans and lighter weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
