    Default 16V Distributer's, which is which.

    right so i did know what one of these was which, but damn if i can find it again on the internet.

    a very simple question:

    16v 4age distributers

    reason for asking is the distributer cap died on distributer 1, so i thought i could replace it with the cap on distributer 2. but they arent interchangable. (one hole doesnt line up) and thus i had to put the complete distrubter 2 in. i would like to buy a cap for distributer 1 as i like the heat shield and the spark plug leads fit better on distributer 1.

    distributer #1:

    -heat shield on the bottom
    -spark plug leads point straight up (right angles to the head)
    -the one i need a new cap for.



    distributer #2:

    -no heat shield
    -spark plug leads point straight out



    also if there are any other types of 16V distributers let me know, and if you have a picture that would be even better. and ill add a tech article.

    one of these is a jap one, and one is an ausi one...ideas?

    The first one is identical to my current and spare which are both bigports (3-rib) out of locally delivered ae82s. I bought a cap recently from repco, $50. Just asked for a dissy cap for an '87 AE82 4age.

    hmm thanks fellas!!

    i would have throught the one with the heat shield would be the jap one....

    oh well, i shall go and find a new dizzy cap for the ae82 one.

    also any ideas on putting new seals in the distributors?. the ae82 used to leak a bit. but the heat shield caught the oil. however with the jap one, the oil goes straight onto the extractors...mmm smelly.

    A guy on twincam sells rebuild kits for dizzy's. $25-30 i think

    Also i think the correct bosch part number for the ae82 cap is GD801, the one they list is GD687 and is incorrect.

    Guide to seal replacement. The topic says AE93, but should be the same.
