My '94 Cel has a 1.8 in it. Did a bunch on the engine when I put it on the road last spring. Great mileage but has bad rings and I'm not pulling it apart again.Just wondering if I can swap a 97 7afe in without too much trouble since the 97 has no distributor.
Thanks in advance. Ron, in Midd. VT

Why wouldn't it have a distributor...
And it's cheaper and easier to just go in and replace the piston rings (and I'd also recommend replacing the valve seals while you're in there) than it would be to just swap another engine in. That other engine might have another problem you don't like. Fix what you know is wrong. And if you can't replace them yourself, it's STILL cheaper to pay for a mechanic to do it. -------------------- taking too long to mod since '09
