Re: 4g63 gearbox options
Some interesting information there to think about. Staying with the current narrow block would be convenient; if it is as easy as getting an adapter made to suit either pattern. Or would it be more common to see a used one to suit a wide block? Only other thought I've also had was with finding a fly...

4g63 gearbox options
Hey all. Been a while (was wondering if i should post a new introduction...). Wondering what gear box would be recommended to put behind a 4g63t in a galant? Im looking at having an engine built so I've got the choice of wide / narrow; plan to choose that depending on what has the better gearbox opt...

Re: 1979 Colt Sigma from the cold north
Neat looking GE. As you have no tail lights or dash lights; get someone to switch the head lights on and off for you, while they are doing that have a look and listen in the engine bay for the headlight relay that should be clicking on and off. -The relay has 2 poles, one circuit switches head light...

Re: Anyone used a 4G93T or P DOHC?
Undecided at this point. I'm wanting to; would make for a fun car once it is all in there.
Still measuring up all the little bits and pieces. Apart from a gearbox, the rest of it doesn't look like too much of an issue.

Re: Anyone used a 4G93T or P DOHC?
Arh that's interesting.
I've got a newer model 4G94 here from a CH Lancer (same bell housing as the CE).
They are Very different from the astron bell housings: Will be a bit of work to make it fit under a galant/sigma etc.

Does anybody have any other reasons not to use the 93 other than 'the 63 is better' in comparison Gearbox. I've been doing quite a bit of research to find out if I can fit a 4G9X in to a galant. The biggest head ache I've come up against is the drive train. There is nothing you can buy that will bo...

Hey mate,
Your old set up was not points, just the older style of electronic ignition.
What is the new distributor out of? The GN? How many wires does it have coming out of it?

Where did you take it
Could be a few things, Does it feel unwilling to rev past 4000rpm (in like 2nd or 3rd?)
More or less what Geezer said though.
Can have a look at it if you like?

Re: Sigma Radiator
How much? You would have to ask around your local repair places to see how much they will charge.
Had mine done a few years back for around $100.00
I'd be careful what you find at the wreckers, most I've seen their are pretty stuffed.
