Will any 12a or 13b distributer work? (for a 13b SE motor) does anyone have anything available?

 

My understanding the '84-'85 GSL-SE distributor has a different power curve setup, via the centrifical advance.

Sorry no spare unit, may have a line on a parts car, cause I could use a fuel pump.

The distributors are the same for all cars 81 to 85.
I just sold my spare distributor recently to an employee at Dave Turner Motorsports and gave away my extra SE fuel pump to neighborhood buddy Mark Perez..Mark you better get that car running!

 

Go to the 'parts for sale' section of the forum and look for posts by WAM.
He's got everything you need, good prices, too.

 

The physical aspects maybe the same but the are not exactly the same. Mazda has a 12a part number and a 13b part number listed.

12a: N249-18-200A
13b: N304-18-200B

Like I said, the power curve of these 2 motors are different, so would the vacuum/centrifical advances needs.

What about an S5 distributer? i plan on buying a whole s5 parts car from a junkyard eventually, i will be taking the rotors, intake manifold, tranny, and whatever else i will need, then part out the rest on 7 club.

 

woa, an s5 doesnt have a distrubitor. FC's use direct fire igntion with a crank angle sensor in its place of the distruibitor.

However the european FC's did come with a distributor, but your never gonna find one of those that easily.

 

Oh, i didn't know that. Could i use the s5 ecu in my car to control the s5 ignition and still have it properly run my car?

 

Since its an S5, I doubt it. The s5's use an electric OMP and the ECU will go into limp mode if it does not detect it. If you found an after market ignition controller like a MSD, it would work though. An s4 setup will work also.

 

What if i use the electric omp off of it and wire it to the ecu?

 

no

Use everything, I mean EVERYTHING from the SE car, except the shortblock from the S5. Nothing but the shortblock.

You do have to swap your SE front cover, OMP, and Oil pan to the new engine though.

 

I'm keeping my rotor housings for porting reasons. I'm just using the s5 rotors, intake, and tranny.

 

yes you could make it work, be and easy swap, HELL NO

 

email me with an offer - I have a spare dizzy.

 

I'm completely broke right now, i have to spend atleast 3 grand on my car in the next few months. If you want to let it go for next to nothing, i'm of course interested.

 

LOL, well, I'm generally a nice guy - but unfortunately, the force of capitalism runs strong in me - I'm sure you'll find one somewhere
