PM sent to you 1974civic1200...

Now just waiting for some of the engine gurus to check out my engine stamp...

Can you post a photo of your engine?

There are 2 different EKs 79-81and 82-83. If yours is a 82, from the drive side of the engine, the 1st port on your head is exhaust?

1st EK valve line up is IEEIIEEI and the 2nd is EIEIIEIE.

Good luck!

Thanks again LALA, I will check it tomorrow once I am off work.

Nice - I have a 75. It was a heck of a time rebuilding the engine and getting parts, and I'm still working on it ;)

Nice score.

Well I looked at the back side of my engine from the drivers side and noticed some strange things...

My first port is an intake port then followed by an exhaust port. Now I only noticed 2 exhaust port total, not 4. I see 4 intake ports but only 2 exhaust ports? Am I going mad?

If this is the first EK style motor, what is the displacement and HP? 1.8L? 1.6L? 70 HP?

Sorry Blue I missed the 2 exhaust port heads which came out in 79-81. This was the standard, 2 exhaust ports, except for the California spec EK, those had the 4 exhaust ports.

The non CVCC heads were 4 exhaust ports.

So this is a CVCC motor then and it will take a 1982 electronic distributor right? It had one in there before I broke it so I guess I will buy another one.

I will need to rewire some of this since I noticed my resistor system is still hooked up, any handy DIY guides on how to rewire it to use the full potential of the ignition systems since I have no points at all?

I rewired my 78 wagon to run a 2nd gen Hitachi electronic distributor. So to answer your question, yes it should be able to be used on your engine.

I posted a how- to in one of Kurt's post in the Power Train section.

I have a working electronic distributor if your interested?
