I have a nearly stock 1.8 L-Jet with all the smog controls removed. The l-Jet distributer is the dual vacumn type- both hoses attach to the throttle body.
Last two times the vacumn wimped out, I replcaed the can. I'm wondering if there is a better way to go- given I'm not running smog controls. Are there issues specific to the 1.8 L-Jet ? Thanks, jim Attached image(s)

I've installed them in engines using 1.7/1.8 tin and 2.0 tin without problem. The cable boot will contact the tin as you rotate the dist body. If the gear was indexed such that the boot was against the tin when the engine was timed correctly I would slightly dent the tin.
I think that to install the dist with the cap on you would need the BFH to make it fit. Then you could ignore pages of instructions and diagrams and hook up all of 3 wires wrong. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) |
