yup, thats unless you happen across a 12a turbo dizzy then its got boost retard so you can set the timing stock and it will be fine

Sure, I bet I can get one of those super fast out here on The opposite side of the world. I will ask around maybe I can get one later on..

I will have to hunt for that. Does anyone make an aftermarket Distributor for Rotaries?

j9fd3s 01-20-2003 10:44 AM

nope, that would be kinda neat though

Damn, that sux.. I was at the Junkyard yesterday getting some bolts and other lil stuff for the engine, I remebered how you said I might be able to put a first gen oil pan on the truck if I put it backwards, It seems like it would work so I will try that, but I need a new front cover so I can mount the engine from there instead of the T2 mounts cause they make the engine sit too high at a wierd angle.. Can any first gen front cover fit or do I have to get a specific model..

j9fd3s 01-21-2003 12:07 PM

nope any first gen front cover will bolt on. if you get the 83 and later ones have a place for the turbo oil drain

Where would the turbo oil dump into on the later ones.I thought they were the same other than the use of the OMP on a 12a cover.

WHat about the oil pan? I usually only find first gens with 12a's out here in the junk yards.. Do I have to get one from the 13b or will the 12a pan work?
