Distributor 79 Corolla

[boots84]

Hey guys,

 

Just looking for a bit of guidance. I need to replace my distributor. I have been in contact with a auto parts company online. They have one thats suited for a 1.2 and a 1.6. my car is a 1.3 are any of these compatible with my car?

 

thanks in advance

hey Bamboo, just to clarify your saying that the 1.2 will work

How much for a new one compared to going electronic??

 

The electronic ones are $120 odd I think it was, they're for sale on here somewhere.

Yup

The electronic ones are new ones for the 5K in Toyota vans, there's a few in the for sale forums up to $135 new. Mine was a straight-forward bolt-in for the 4K, I assume the earlier K motors will take them no problem.

 

If the acceleration is flat compared to what it was you have to change the springs inside to get a faster advance curve, a legacy of the Hi-Ace van origins of some of them. The spark plugs can go out to 35thou gaps and they clean up a lot of little low-speed misfires with a much fatter spark.

 

I fiddled with mine to get it where I wanted it, now its great. Post #57 onwards in here-
