This is probably going to sound like the "Dumb & Dummer" show but I have a 1989 Short wheelbase soft top. engine No. G13A59.... Vin No. JSAOSJ50...I have been looking for odd bits and pieces on ebay and I'm confused (Which isn't hard at my age!) as to just what model it is...
1. Is it an SJ413?
2. Is it a wide track?
3. Is it an G13B motor?

Also I downloaded a manual for a Suzuki SJ Samurai which seems like the right one,...is it? and I have a SA413 manual are they the same motors????

it should be a sj70 i think which is a wide track. As for the engine it should be on the compliance plate. Just look near your engine number to see how many cc it is, also by the looks of your engine number it is a g13a. Im still pretty new to sierras so im happy to be corrected

capacity is next to the timing mark on the passenger side, will be either 1298cc or 1324cc, both are '1.3litre'

SJ413.. correct..

the G13a59... screams its a g13a
the jsa0sj50.. would imply its an SJ50..

wt or nt it shouldnt matter.. easiest way is to look at where the spring perches are. The NT comes directly down from the chassis rail, while the WT are 'outboarded' about 2 inches..unless its been tinkered with..?

NT has small plastic guard flares while the WT has slightly larger steel(early had plastic) to account for the extra width of the wider diffs...

try a search for WT/NT difference or similar, its ALL listed there..

oh and a pic will give the fellas some eye candy and a better idea as to what you got

well i didnt even read the vin, looks like it is a sj50 after all

Found on the compliance plate it's an SJ50 (Put my glasses on this time!) engine capacity 1324 cc. The spring mounts are set about 30 to 40 mm. to the outside of the chassis, not directly under the chassis rail. Sorry didn't see Trail Blazers photos! Yep thats the spring set up.

[foolsp33d]

capacity imprint will look like one of these..



The front of an WT I had.. (spring location compared to chassis)-OUTBOARDED


The Spring location on a NT is as you can see.. inline with the chassis rail..


Wide track at the rear.. Note flares..


Standard NT flares
