http://www.weather.com/outlook/recreation/outdoors/results/17013?from=36hr_outlet_outdoors Pinchot only 3 miles further away. Pine Grove Furnace mentions camping but does not mention any showers,etc...so I'm assuming it's rustic camping. Personally any park will do since it looks like it's going to be "car tenting" for us.My crap is all in storage and I doubt I can get at the tent,etc....and it looks like it might rain either or both days. Carlisle camping info from the website: Camping: Camping is available. Call (717)243-7855 for a fee schedule and to pre-register. I might do Carlisle,might do Pinchot,we'll see.I'll have my son so it'll be kind of boring for him camping in a plain open field in the middle of a town at Carlisle. We are definite for both nights.

Timesert will stay in when you go to drop the exhaust next time.A little pricey,but I think they're worth it. Connie,hang in there! I have a feeling you'll be in a reliable car pretty soon,one way or another.

THANKS! I think you've got a plan for me to follow! There was a new crate engine in CA awhile back.I'll have to call the guy and see if it's still around.

OK,as long as nobody disagrees I'll gladly take the responsibility. Look,here's the deal.I'm totally cool with a few of you young guys,etc. needing some time.I'll cover the initial buy.You guys will pay the price we do as long as you don't pee pee around and take forever to pay.A month,two....that's not so bad to me.I just don't want to sit on a half dozen of gaskets that I'm not personally commited to.If you need 3 months to cover $35.94...then please consider adding some coffee money for making me wait.Thanks. moosens@yahoo.com for Paypal,that is as long as everybody is ok with me handling this. I really think I'm going to order 30 and take the chance that there'll be a slight demand in the near future.Todd offered to split the remainders for the same reason,when it looked like we were stuck at 19.Maybe he'll split the remainder of 30 with me and he and I will hold ours or try to sell one or two on eBay. For those buying and extra to sell,good idea.And by all means go ahead and try to sell your now.My extras will be held for a while.I will not be selling any on eBay for months at least,maybe even a year or more.I'm betting that there'll be a few more 70's owners/cars popping up in the next couple of years. Hey,like the lady told Tony Montana in Scarface....rule number one,don't get high on your own stash.... meaning,unload that extra one for a good $50-60++ if you ask me,maybe more,what the heck.There probably won't be any more produced after this batch,or at least there's none floating around for any less.Supply and Demand,kids. BTW,I have a FedEx Ground account which will save everybody...as long as I'm still welcome there.I might have a problem with the account since one guy claims to have paid Canadian taxes that FedEx was hounding me for.Anyways,I'll check on the status of my account and if there's any trouble I'll still make sure you guys get the best shipping deal. I'll check back later tonight. Cheers!

Yeah,sounds about right.Clean it up nice and park it on Rt. 7 right by the road,you'll get your buyer. Sounds like you want to come down and do the fuel pump on the GLF If you get desperate let me know ASAP. Did Rory do a re-stud on the exhaust?I have ....I think one or two Timeserts left.Might have a Helicoil or two,but I prefer Timeserts for the exhaust.Either way I have the kit already.And I'm pretty sure I have extra Helicoils.

Sure,post here,either way works for me. Yup,that's the v/r. Supercessions,yeah,like that... The big stores don't help 70's owners too much,but always try.It can get real frustrating dealing with dorks who have to go by what the computer shows them.They'll only get you the high replacement parts anyways,which you can score off of eBay much cheaper.But hey,if you have the time to try go ahead and see what they can dig up.I tend to think they won't offer an real gems though. Beck Arnley parts are fine for your Subaru in most cases. Cheers!

Easy to print now. Apologies to anyone who might get offended because I deleted or edited their post. PLEASE consider printing this thread and keeping the list with you when you hit a yard or come across some old stock. Thanks, Paul

Hold on,you have an internal diode in the alternator but not an internal voltage regulator. The one with the internal v/r is for Californication cars,which use the electronic ignition (not points and condensor).This is alt. does not have the plastic cover. Yours is a "49 States" car.You need the alt. with the diode (black plastic cover). Dude,email me or PM as you need to.I have factory manuals,service and parts.So if that dealership (?) you work at tossed them,or never had them,I can help you out. If you have the manuals at work copy them,at least the pages you kind of need right now.Catch me on a good night and I'll be able to take the time for scanning for ya,should you need them. You get that service manual and you'll be WELL down the road to success. Also,keep in mind that Subaru of America themselves have recently told us that they have been unable to resource many parts for their own assistance in the restoration of Ronald Raygun's Brat.Get what you can while you can.No need to go nuts for common replacement part though.There's tons of Alternators,Starters,Brakes,Ignition parts,Struts,etc. that show up on eBay constantly. And,should I give you part numbers,always be sure to let the person doing any research know that you have the original part number.P/N's got updated over the years.

Hey MAV,that car desreves a nice Thule rack model 1050 that sits in the rain gutters.West coast folks will say Yakima,but your on the right coast so go Thule. I just don't like seeing the feet of that rack pressing on the roof.

Did I mention that I hate you????!!!!! Just kiddin,b i t chin buggy!!!!!!!!!!!!!

About the manual I was talking about,it ended.But the person is still selling other items.eBay name is "Vermont_Ham" Check their other item (Honda Gold Wing I'm sure is still listed) and contact them thru that listing.Tell them your friend said (you do consider me a friend,right? ) that they offered to ship it cheap thru MediaMail.They said they wanted $5 for handling....still,a great deal,probably around $10-12 total.You won't find them much cheaper than that. External V/R is located up by the battery.Mounted to the side,up near the top. Diode assy is covered by that plastic cover you're talking about on your alternator. Happy to help.

Nice!! Reminds me of the Yamaha scheme of the 70's

There was a factory service manual on eBay just this past few days....for $0.99 ! They have a $5 handling fee and were willing to use MediaMail so the price would have been under $10 total. I passed on it because I got too busy and really don't need another one. Might be still on,might be re-listed,but still go get one. The f/p is the cylindrical type,not rotary. Some things to consider for the f/p: connections,especially grounds plunger and plunger tube can get dirty,and can be cleaned. Are you sure you have a good voltage regulator?Good alternator diode?

I don't think so. No barn here,or even enough space to store most of that heap. Once again,take a look at the pictures and descriptions and see what you might be interested in.Then,email or PM me if you are a 70's owner and serious about getting something.At that point we can exchange phone numbers.On the day I go there we can call each other and verify items,and verify that you WILL come though with the money and NOT b/s around because I sure don't have extra money to cover people. I will do my best to print and bring the Wish List thread from the Historic Forum with me.Depending on how the day goes I'll do my best to let people know if items they desire are still left there in the barn after my departure.But if you call me,or allow me to call you it'll make life a little easier. THIS IS MOSTLY 70'S STOCK IF YOU DIDN'T CATCH THAT ALREADY SO PLEASE DON'T ASK ABOUT ANYTHING ELSE.Some people will see this thread for the first time and get excited.Please read the posts that are linked above before you get too crazy.

NEXT week guys,....next week.

Looking to camp/car sleep. How about you guys? Who's camped at Carlisle itself? Cost there? - uh,I guess I can look that up Ammenities? - shower is probably all I really care about,guess I can research that too but if you know the answers help me out.My "research" will probably be done late Thursday night. If a few of you would like to make it a mini-camp meet maybe we can block out space at Carlisle or Gifford Pinchot,etc.... As I recall,there's no KOA nearby......correct me if I'm wrong.I think I'm still a KOA member.

Maybe I should make the yellow Beetle owner push it. Actually,I don't think Andrew is driving that at all these days. Yeah,somehow,someway,I'll be there. I'm thinking it's going to be a full weekend now.But contrary to previous thoughts I doubt I'll do the auto-X on Sunday if it means going to the barn in H'burg. Who's camping at Carlisle???

I absolutely promise to call you from there.I'll post or contact you to let you know when I should be there.That way if my pea brain forgets you can call me.:-p Seriously,think about the pictures and descriptions of what the boys posted and let me know what items you saw that you'd like.That goes for anybody. Game plan: Bring cash,pick through parts,wave cash and sing a real pretty song. He'll be better off with less to sell and a decent chunk of dough in his hands. That way he can lower the price on the big lot and maybe get a sucker....I mean buyer. Mary,and everyone,I really expect this stuff to be gone REALLY soon.I talked to him just a week or so ago and he's bent on clearing the barn out and using it for material storage for the 23? luxury homes he's building on the property.The door "re-manufacturing" business is not his priority for the barn space the parts takes up. Folks,I've been doing this for just a bit longer than the rest of you,except Todd.I've heard ALL the stories,including getting to one place less than TWO WEEKS after tons of sheetmetal,glass,and all the old shelf stock went to the crusher. Given this guy's situation I'm sure he's watching the interest rates,housing prices,etc. and if he has half a brain he's moving BIGTIME on this project before he starts losing hundreds of thousands of dollars to complete the homes. I personally know of an investor who built an entire neighborhood only to come up losing at the end because of bad timing. Another thing I'd like to put to people is to make sure you get my cell phone number from me if you're serious about purchasing from this stock but just can't make it there.It's going to be a weekend so I could care less about phone time. I just allowed myself to be ripped off to get a '72-75 Factory Parts Manual.That'll be there with me along with my '77-79 FPM and my '81-82 FPM Gonna be tough to get one past me.If it has a part number we/I should be able to identify it and make sure the end user gets the correct part. No Sleep 'till Harrisburg!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm having some troubles with the '78 as of this afternoon.Tranny/clutch....not too healthy,but hopefully not internal. Might be better if I bring the '89 wagon.

Rizzo,I have a plow down here in CT.There's a guy with 2 of them near Hartford.The one in the picture is a redneck bogus excuse for a plow,sorry. But I'm sure it works good enough for that guy. I'd sell mine for $600 this week if anyone is interested.Located in Milford,CT

Well,thanks for the company guys,but I'm thinking it'd be a waste of time for anyone without a 70's vehicle....Or a guy who has to drive many thousands of miles. So,I don't know,have people been making deals with the guy? Am I going to get there and see why nobody cares to go there? Or do I have to gather up all those goodies by myself?

Carlisle next weekend. Since I'll be in the area there's no way that I'm not going by this guy's place.Who wants to meet up there? If you don't know the story,please check for the old post in the Marketplace. http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=55101

Charlie will be south of Carlisle on a mission,but says he'll be there.Probably without a Subaru since he's on a mission with a flatbed or something like that.His friends are supposedly going (2 of them) with a VW and something else,maybe a Subaru.But they'll register under the Ultimate Subaru name to help the cause. Called Scott,wagon78,and got no response. Haven't called Jesse.Mary said she's out awhile back. Andrew,if you can offer any time to help me out in good weather I'd like a partner/standby/helper for the '82's fuel pump job and some turbo wagon work too if there's time.

OK cool. Come on people.You register before and it saves you money...and you get a whole weekend pass should you stick around so you never pay admission,etc. again....and the "Goodie Bag":brow: You know you want the goodie bag and you're only going to get it if you register. Looking like me and my son.Heading down Friday night,camping....maybe at Carlisle,but probably Gifford Pinchot St. Pk. which is about 25+minutes south of Carlisle. Might hang overnight on Saturday too,not sure.

This is the post where I whine about not having time to prepare,etc.etc.etc....how I'll be showing up in a very unrestored car etc.etc.. how I might not have the second car ('82 GLF) there etc.etc. waaaaaagh waaaaaaaagh..... But look folks,it ain't about what you bring and the "show" part of the meet. Bring what you have that makes it to and from the place.Don't waste your time whining like some old "moose".
