As I was working on my friends car I was thinking , "this would
actually not be a bad fit in my 83 S-15 except fo all the electronic
stuff. I'd be losing some displacement but then it wouldn't be much and
I be getting rid the dirty 2.8 ! I didn't think too much about it
until I discovered that the Canadian 21-A used a point ignition and a
carburator.
The question is : Will the 21-A ignition and manifold fit a 23 ?
It looks like the distributor will fit the hole and there is a gear
down there , but I'm not sure about the manifold and carb( can rejet if
needed ) I figure I'll get a later 23 with a 5 speed box and cable
operated clutch ( S-15 is cable operated) Should be easy , just need to
know if the stuff will "bolt on " . Since I live in an "emssions free
zone" I can do this .
The last thing like this I did was an 1800 into a 70 Mercury Capri.
It was a simple swap and proved to be an excellent choice . I drove it
for 6 years and never had ANY problems even when I was towing my
battery powered race boat with all the attending gear in it( 24-27 mpg
)
Thanks for any input , Will
