One little thing I used to do and still do on EJ’s is to use a couple of Pony clamps or whatever you have that will hold the belt on the “sprocket” while you release the tensioner so nothing moves at that time but the tensioner and the slack taken up. Miles is a top dog. Almost got to meet him when in Chicago but he’s an hour and a half north in beer town. Also , I live in New England and do pretty much what you do. But I am a FWD fan or fanatic at this point. I still insist that FWD is fine for 98% of the year. Great advice , and you’re experienced already. You’ll be fine. Enjoy !

I have at least one. Milford CT

ABS light also on , but I think with minimal research in the archives or just back a page or two , there’s my solution. Can’t tell you guys enough that I am typically a good 10-15 years behind from the current models. Last car I bought to use as a daily was a 1992 in 2007. A 15 year old with around 119k. That car is still here , body not any much worse than back then. This green goblin is already 17 and holding 274k (just turned). Body fairly solid. Original owners , garage kept , receipts up the wazzoo. The not so funny part is he had TWO teenaged sons use this car and it looks great. I have ONE son who as a teenager destroyed TWO Subarus. Life.

Historically that’s an issue - corroded sockets. I’ll be sure to go over all of them. Geez , life still has 1157’s involved after all these decades ?

Thanks all !! You guys are great as usual. Should have time over the next week to get to know it more intimately. You know what I mean ... The clicking goes to the normal rate for the turn signal when engaged , then when not engaged it goes back to a more rapid clicking. Maybe double speed of the normal turn clicker. Ill check that too, Larry , thanks.

Bellhousing. ;) yeah that’s it. I forgot about that. Buy my engine !!

$460 special. That’s right $460 Pardon my lack of searching at this time. 273k on it , drips a little oil onto the exhaust. Otherwise I’m just about to learn about this car as I just now took possession of it. First , the steering column tilt feature I enjoy when getting in and out. But this car has a lever that seems locked and I don’t want to break it trying to force it. Anybody else experience this ? Second , the noise maker for the signal lights keeps clicking all the time the car is running. Solution ? I have not yet looked up under the dashboard. Third , when I take off in first gear there is usually a thumping for a few seconds. My thought was (thinking older Subies) that there’s a strap mount at the U-joint split in the prop shaft and one side is becoming loose - seen this. I don’t even know if this is a two piece prop shaft , just assuming. Any clue on the noise and is my prop shaft a two piece ? Little lazy and it’s cold so I’m not getting under it today. Much to do. Will have more Q’s soon. Thanks for any help. Yes i I have the alloys too. Previous owner had these because he wanted to try to use the alloys on newer Subarus. The alloys will be back on soon or maybe after winter.

Scott - Wagon78 did a nice write up and with using Radio Shack bits . That was many many years ago. Not sure how stacked our archives are. But it was in there.

Right off the bat “subarupartsforyou” won’t have anything anywhere near that old regardless of the use of the year “1984” I live near them and trust me you won’t score there. Likely same for many others. But don’t give up.

It’s ok , you’re an Old Sub Freak part of the game. Merry Christmas ! Love my early 2.2’s

Yes I know it’s a Weber. You asked for options and that was my reply. Hitachi Then I asked a question you haven’t answered.

Likely the brush(es) on the alternator have worn and not sending a signal to the voltage regulator which will power the fuel pump. Factory manual suggests changing out both at the same time - alternator and v/r. Take the pump off or in place just reverse polarity with jumper cables off the battery for just a second to clear it out and verify it powers up. BTW you can use those jumper wires to run the vehicle. The pump will stop enough for driving when running but best to unhook when parked. Many of us have had to do this. Good luck with it. I have new fuel filters - factory Subaru and other parts New Old Stock and great used too. “cashingmystuffin” on eBay , that’s me.

Yes they are. Longer snout on the automatic. You need one ? I have a reman Manual that I won’t need. Send me a message thru the board if interested. Probably have more than one but the one that’s out and handy has an ND tag on it with the numbers 028000 297 and the tag is green and silver.

Hitachi Aren't those manual choke ? There’s not a pull knob on your dash somewhere ?

That’s he one in New Canaan , right ? Man that thing won’t sell , and it’s crazy.

Doh !! My ATK is the later version with internal water like the EA81.

Which year ea71 is it ? Internal water passage or duct across the top deck ? I have an ATK rebuild in crate I bought a while back and likely won’t need. Do as you need to but there’s typically still folks looking for EA71 pistons. Of course you’ll have to draw that line on wether or not it’s worth your time. Me , I’d salvage and stock what I could if you’re carrying forward with another EA71. Likely your pushrods can clean up too. Occasionally there’s a demand for those too. Good luck with it. I’m in CT and my stuff is in Milford right off the highway (I-95). Long drive but I have a LOT of stuff and I’m cleaning house. Check my stuff on eBay if you go there - cashingmystuffin - that’s me. Lots of New Old Stock and great used too. Help me clean house!!

Super tight fit. I’m surprised the archives aren’t helpful. Not my thing but I have seen one and how tight it was.

Selling stock parts. Not sure how many members of a site which includes “mods” in their title are going to care for 1968-79 stock parts. Thanks for trying , but I don’t think I’ll bother with that one. You’re welcome to post directing folks over to me here. Or on the dreaded face crook sites. Here is best.

I’m getting quite disgusted this time around. Somebody step up to the plate and buy me out. Please. Milford CT - it’s in a storage unit off exit 35 of I-95 , really super easy to reach. Check my stuff on eBay - “cashingmystuffin” , then also consider that I have lots more loose items , small box items , then fenders from 1972–79 and gen one Brat. Seats , dashboards - at least one uncracked , wheels , A-bar front end protector , engine or two , transmission (4 or 5?) mostly 4WD , glass - mostly NEW , windshield or two , even have NEW windshield gasket I was saving for myself. More too , I’m sure. Getting too worn out. I want to spend my time differently these days. This is not some crazy large load. One medium box truck would knock it out. But you’ll have a good load for sure. moosens@yahoo.com is best.

Thanks very much! I think they were like $8 for the set , for new!! Unfortunately those have a slight seam “pucker” I hope you saw. Stinks that parts like that are hard to keep perfect for 4 decades. I think you might even be able to mend that pucker and clamp it for a long period of time and hopefully it’ll be dang close to perfect. Again , I went and bought all this stuff mostly 2007 and before. People should be considerate of that and realize this is a once around deal. There’s no re-stocking here. Three of us went in on a “couple or so barn stalls” worth of NOS and it took me at least three trips to PA from CT , hours of parts manual research marking as much as I could as best as I could , storing it - yes I have to pay for a unit because we own a condo in a high-rise (city boy) and then the effort to try to be the nice guy and list lots of individual parts plenty cheap. More listings equals more time. On top if that big haul I also went around to elder dealerships and gathered what I could. All more than 13 years ago. Now I have shifted from old Subarus and want to get into my motorcycles again before I’m way too old. I’m already on the border line of too old. So thats my story. You guys can score well as far as I can see. If you’re really wanting to make some deal contact me here. Keep in mind the age of robots is here and yes they have already threatened me for contacting members off site to make a deal. Hoping they stay the f out of the USMB. Thanks for reading. Enjoy!

And that box you see is just one of maybe 20 larger boxes and I also have fenders , wheels , engines , more. Engines are NOT NEW , but I sure do have an ATK rebuilt 1600 widecase. In crate still.

And there’s at least two other hard core guys who are buying and selling my stuff.

sold

Right on Shawn ! Hey man , life can be brutally busy for many of us. That’s not just some b/s excuse. Hang in there and have faith. You understandably thought you’d do some good by letting us all know , but a lot of us know the guy well enough to know that he simply is not a rip-off. Yes , I see there’s another guy or two who feel burned. But I’m confident there’s a good reason why things appear to have gone wrong.
