She is looking awesome! So excited to see her progress.

Holy ************!

Also, didn't know she would do 75. Impressive.

Wow, glad you were able to get stopped safely. Never heard of that valve. Scary it just melted. Glad to hear everything else ran ok, she always felt solid. Really exited to see your progress on her.

Wow, that is a seriously clean wagon. Very nice!

I may end up going that way if cost gets too out of hand. I just scheduled it one more visit with a Subaru specialist so I can be sure that is the problem before I pull the trigger. Thanks for the advice.

CO isn't terribly concerned with how everything looks under the hood as long as it runs clean. So not too worried about that piece of it.

Well my poor little 85 hatch seems to be getting sicker by the day. In my most recent attempt at emissions it failed on CO by over double the limit. It has had a full tune up and a new cat installed, so being short on ideas I took it to a shop with a 5 gas analyzer to give me some ideas. They spent close to 2 hours playing with A/F mixture and couldn't get it anywhere near a passing number. Their conclusion was the carb is in need of a full rebuild or I am having problems with the air injection and they wanted a ridiculous amount of money to look any farther. I admittedly suck with carbs, but am trying to learn. So my question is.. Is it worth getting a rebuild kit for the factory carb or should I go with the Weber? How difficult is the Weber to install / tune / work on versus the stock single barrel? Also, this car is in CO, so it would need to be jetted for high altitude. Would the Weber need to be re-jetted and if so, how difficult is it to find and swap the jets? Lastly, which Weber (model #) do I need for an EA82? I really don't want to sell her, but if I cant get this figured out in a way that makes some sort of financial sense I may have to go that way. Sorry for the long winded post. Thanks in advance for any help guys.

That is ridiculous. :-\ Did it come with all those dents or were some of them from beating the UPS driver with it ?

Looks fantastic.

Subscribed. Love these old wagons.

Well she saw a few highway runs before the temp tags expired, but no good long runs. Engine seems to be in good shape, despite the rich condition, so I will give it a switch to premium and see how it does. Thanks

Correction to my original information as well. It is the CO that is reading too high, not the HC. On a side note, it occurs to me there is still some 44K in this tank of gas. Would the 44K burning off excess carbon add anything to the CO readings ?

After looking at the graph, it looks like the high CO readings are across the board as far as speed is concerned. Also, any advice on changing the PCV valve? I have never seen something so hopelessly buried under hoses and hardlines. After 20 minutes all I have accomplished is a slice in my palm and removing the attached hose. I don't seem to have a tool to get at it. Thanks again
