Club is only to get aenough people united so the Carlisle folks will set up a tent for us.The group normally needs to be at least 25 pre-registered entrants. Lots of rows of cars seperated into groups like Italian(not so many so they lump them together),or by marque like Peugeot,Saab,Volvo,VW....etc. We park directly across from the Italians,so you're in excellent company. Camping,yes.There's camping there or nearby. Gifford Pinchot State Park is excellent,but last time we noticed that they really don't have the place running 100% untill late May,just after we blow through town.Not saying it stinks,but things like tall grass,still many signs of winter,etc.Still cheap and worth the stop. I went with my family two years ago.My 8 year old son will probably be there with me this year.There's plenty to do around the area for both of you.Kids will be bored with anything after an hour or so,but there's lots of interesting cars and some walking to do to see them all and the exhibits.

Vintage Soob Racer on Ebay

Congrats!! Your cars body was produced for the American market for model years 1972-1977 Good luck with it! -
Different cam,different head,and in '79 a different intake. All cranks and con-rods are the same unless automatic so no,the piston does not travel further.They made a different crank for the auto.,but that does not affect the FE.

Steering wheel removal
moosens replied to Twowagons's topic in Historic Subaru Forum: 50's thru 70's
I've never needed a puller yet and I've yanked many steering wheels off of Subarus.Give it a shot first.Lots of short tugs instead of trying to force it in one big tug. Sometimes a tiny bit of side to side movement helps as you pull it towards you. Geez,I could swear it was clockwise,but then again I'm a little backwards sometimes. Happy to help. -

If you still have my number you're welcome to call me.I'll be watching Scooby-Doo or something like that. School closings for a little white stuff-phooey!!! Mom and Dad-send daycare!!!!!!!:-p -

Which are you removing-2 or 4 spoke? -
Steering wheel removal
moosens replied to Twowagons's topic in Historic Subaru Forum: 50's thru 70's
Trudy,the screws are from the windshield side of the steering wheel.Should be two Philips screws. Correction,I think it's only ONE screw on the driver's side. If you have a 4 spoke wheel you have to hold the wheel and turn the pad clockwise about a half inch or less to disengage the pad. -
How many have you meet and greeted.
moosens replied to ezapar's topic in Meet n' Greet. Your USMB Welcome Center
That sounds like mtsmiths,a.k.a. Smitty,who's also made it east for a Pine Barrens run. Miles,if you head east you'll probably blow away my 19 states worth of people. I know there's at least one more state I'm forgetting.Must.....hit....twenty....states.... -
Loyale Headlights won't go off
moosens replied to Subi's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Right,I know in the Maritimes it's needed,probably the same out west....you turn a corner and there's a sudden fogbank thick as can be.Good law.But,you'll buy headlights every couple of years. -
That's right,it's not about the cars it's about the people.So bring earplugs. Seriously,it's 4 hours from Bridgeport,at reasonable speed.I'm probably leaving Saturday moring around 5-6AM if you guys are up for caravan action. There's an outside chance that we might do the family thing and cabin camp,or tent camp,or cheapy hotel.If that's the case I'll be there Friday night. Sometime in the next couple of months we'll work out who's going and who can caravan down from New England.

1977DL or WRX which to chose
moosens replied to tailgatewagon's topic in Historic Subaru Forum: 50's thru 70's
I say we all offer him $50-300 for it before the auction dies a miserable death. Well,you can dress it up but you can't sell it anywhere.:-p -
Elad,Did I send you the grill??? I know I had it boxed and ready to go.Then things got crazy. If I didn't send it then it'll go out in April,after the first warm weekend with no rain.

3A/T flush and fluid change
moosens replied to Steven Romero's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Personal experience says do the SeaFoam flush.It gets a good amount of the old crap out.Don't forget that unless you pull and empty the torque converter you never actually flush all the old fluid out.But it's still a good thing to do it and not worry just yet that you didn't go all out. Give it time.And most of all make sure you fill it to the proper level. I read the wrong part of the manual and filled about halfway because I confused the amount needed for the differential.Then it acted MUCH better but still needed to get some miles done to make it shift excellent again. I also changed the modulator,which is super easy and around $20-30 tops. -
guess what i saw today..PIX
