Ok I have a dumb question
MilesFox replied to 84GLPROJECT's topic in Historic Subaru Forum: 50's thru 70's
same here 15-40 u-haul brand oil when worked there. i ran the 15-40 in an 87 gl 189,000 mi, over the road to the south in june. right now i am running 10w30 oil in my 88 dl, 145,000 mi -
as long as you stick to non turbo 5spds, your axles and 3.9 rear will be the same. if you have a chance to score the ea82 diff along with the trans, that is a better choice, and a closer match. use the ea82 driveshaft either way if you found a turbo or rx tranny, you will have 25 splines for the axle which does not fit your 23 spline axle, and you will also need the rear diff which is 3.7 gear if you had 25 spline trans, you will need a good machinist to shorten the turbo axles that go with the trans to fit the brat with a narrower track suppose you could mix and match axle races and cups, but that would involve finding all the different variations of axles and their dimensions to see what fits, or have tons of them laying around to play legos with

Please Gauge My Progress

the 4wd and automatic displays in the center of the cluster are removable and interchangeable -
there is one vac line that will connect to the intake. it should tee off along the boost switch on the framerail ahead of the strut. look around to see if there is a loose end. there will be a check valve in the bundle of hoses it connects to
-
make note that my post was the part number for the stub axles, not the driveshaft, i misread the site when i posted the part number
-
it is the vacuum canister. without it, you will not have heater controls or diff lock functions. leave it there.

what i need is a light on a stand. i only had the one shop light and it was dark out. the other videos have better light. the flourescent light isn't that great for the camera -
Rebuilt Hitachi has flat spot.

i am having a similar issue with my 86 3-door. my condition is worse as it acts like it is running out of fuel and i have to advance the disty to start. i replaced the pump, filter, and top half gasket, leaned outthe carb what i could. we need to find a good schematic of vacuum, wiring, and the circuits in the carb, i guess good luck! i'll be following your progress -
Aside from snow donuting and self documentation, I broke out the video camera to document a 5spd swap on a 92 loyale, and everything in between including engine seals and timing belts. I have made 10 episodes so far, and there will be about 10 more with the 4 hours of tape i have. I anticipate shooting more, cv axles, changing noisy lifters, and eventually spfi harness swap onto a carb 86 3door. i finlly have a decent mac computer running windows and pinnacle studio to make my videos #1 is going up right now, i have thru #5 up already, thru 10 by the end of the day, and thru 20 once i finish editing i'll be adding the videos to www.economysuperstar.com/milesfox/subaru/service.htm and linking them on the USRM by category watch for them on www.youtube.com/milesfox watch them in a row to see the order in which it happened. i'll make playlists according to certain jobs as the videos are categorized by a multitude of specific tasks here is one that is up now let me know how thay watch and if you have any suggestions for what to include or what should be in the videos(captions, subtitles, procedure lists, etc.)

part number NOS 11636 napa on state has one in stock

you could try u-haul as they are the nations largest retailer of custom hitches. they carry the best major brands, valley, curt, draw-tite. you should be able to get a fair price, avg 125 bucks for the hitch, its easy to put on with your own tools, bolts down to the tow loops under the car. if you go with their install and labor and lights you will be pushing 250 bucks if you are shopping around, the part numbers from the manufacturer should be the same as what u-haul lists. what you will find is a class 2 2500 lb with 1/14 inch receiver for your subaru

sounds like a dealer installed cruise control, it has wires going to a vac module and a cable to the throttle. it is standalone and is usually connected near the fuse panel the haynes manual only covers oem types. what you ahve is not factory original. i would think that obtaining a schematic my be obscure.

clutch job w/o removing y-pipe
MilesFox replied to Rust's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
i'd break out the helicoils. but hey, i give credit to ingenuity. i guess its worth the extra labor to not ruin the exhaust studs. i once swapped heads because the stud threads were all stripped out -
I would second a stripped timing belt. had it happen to me. it could have lost a tooth and skipped time, then let go entirely, or stripped enough teeth to quit take off the disty cap and check to see if the rotor tuns. pop off the covers and go through the rotaton sequences here: http://offroadingsubarus.com/timingbelt_ea82.html

3 cylinders
MilesFox replied to destey's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVX
????? i would see of you are getting spark at that cylinder. just take out the plug and set it on metal to see the spark. you may have an issue withthe coil pack. make sure you dont have spark before suspecting a burnt valve ????? -
400 dollars is straight if the condition of the engine is relative to an improper timing belt repair, such as installing the once cam out of phase. if you have a chance to diagnose this then it's and easy fix. make sure your noise is lifter tick and not rod knock, as it likely is. i would almost bet this car was never serviced, then the timing belt broke. mechanic installed belt wrong, car goes up for sale. too common tale of 'rural' subarus
