methusalah Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 What the heck is a pick up coil??? I know what the coil is but never heard of a pick up coil and why would it be $485.00?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naru Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 It is inside the distributor. $485 is outrageous. Find a used disty for $50 or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
methusalah Posted January 2, 2012 Author Share Posted January 2, 2012 Will any year of/from an EA81 work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naru Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Yes,pretty much any year. There are some small differences in the vacuum advance etc.,but,they are inconsequential. However,you should be aware that there are 2 different distributor manufacturers for the ea-81s.(Hitachi and Nippon-denso)It has been suggested that the ignition coil should match the disty as the primary winding resistances(and therefore current draws) are different. Hitachi disty w/hitachi coil etc. Since you mention a pick-up coil,yours should be Nippon-Denso.(2wd IIRC) The Hitachis have "ignition modules."(4wd IIRC) These terms get used interchangibly,so it pays to check.

naru Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Pretty sure you can use a carbed ea-82 disty as well by cutting off the extra mounting tab and swapping on the ea-81 drive gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
