Just a random question because I saw it in your posts, screen-name, and the thread title; You know the car is called a Loyale right, not Loyal? Don't get me wrong, when I first heard it I was like wtf is a Loyale, but yeah. L-o-y-a-l-E.

lol, scott nailed it.

Success! On the Tin Can I replaced the front pass axle with one that clicks right out of the box, I put new pads up front and new shoes and hardware in the back. Brakes felt great for two days, but then the front pass. wheel decided to partially lock up. I'm suspecting the caliper. And one of the rear shoes is jumping around for some reason when hitting the brakes while reversing, and then going forward. On the Blubaru, I have a bunch of crap sitting in boxes that I'm going to install after I get a few more boxes of crap. so far I've got new rotors for all four corners, new pads for all four corners, inner and outer wheel seals for each corner, a box of new concave washers for the axle stubs, set of NGK plugs and wires (I've installed those already). I'm waiting on a new cap and rotor and I want to get new front axles and calipers before I begin installing anything.

In my 86 GL-10, EA82T, I've loosened the two hold down bolts but my distributor will not rotate for me to adjust the timing. Is there something different between the ea82 and ea82t? All my ea82s had the same two bolts that, once loosened, allowed me to adjust timing. This thing won't budge, I've tried a good bit of moderate leverage on it so far, it seems stuck fast. Don't want to tap it with anything. Is it just stuck from never being moved, or am I missing something?

Get a better brand cap. Seal it somehow. Nipper, other 80 percent of the tire is round had me lmao. -
pro tip: roof mounted wiring
l75eya replied to maozebong's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Nice. Needs grommets though. Don't want those wires to chafe, short, smoulder, and set your 80k mile Loyale on fire! -
Yeah, to basically sum it all up, an 87 Subaru GL and an 87 Subaru GL hatch are two COMPLETELY different vehicles. It's confusing, I know. You more than likely ordered parts for the Subaru GL. everybody is saying go for 84 parts because the completely different but similarly named Subaru GL I mentioned above didn't exist in that form until 85 so there's less chance for error.

Source for double row full metal radiator
l75eya replied to l75eya's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
So nil on the xt6 radiator, and the full metal double row from performance radiator is out of stock, as noted above. Damn. They are right nearby me in Harrisburg, I'll have to give them a call and see if there's anything they can do. In the meantime I'll keep hunting. I hope my original one holds up until I find one! -

Everybody, thanks! That's exactly what I was hoping to see. I'll check out the xt6 radiator swap Davet and Emily, thanks for the scoop on performance radiator. Admire the work you guys do at CCR also btw! -
1982 Leone front parking brake
l75eya replied to subi82's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
In my opinion it's probably fine. Regarding the slop in the cable, ensure the cable isn't snapped somewhere, make sure your bracket is on right, and then under the coin holder (plastic trim between the seats) there's a way to adjust the slack on the lever handle. -

I've actually only ever had issues with plastic core radiators once, in an old Altima, when the plastic around the filler neck cracked. Maybe I'll just get a double row plastic tank. Anything is better than the current (original) radiator in my 86. It is literally disintegrating. -

All I find on eBay here are single row. I think due to the popularity of the l-series in Australia, there is a lot more aftermarket support for them. -

Subaru Down!; ea82t 88 gl-10
l75eya replied to Brokenneckj's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Repaired exhaust, more backpressure, a compromised headgasket could have been the final nail there. Blew the gasket, filled the cylinder with coolant, hydrolocked it. Pull the plugs all out and see if it'll crank and watch out for liquid spraying out the holes. -
Glad you're okay Tom! Sorry about the heritage high roof! Please tell me that trailblazer (right? Or equinox?) Didn't have a straight six.

The Awesome Older Generation Picture Thread
l75eya replied to 6 Star's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
That GLE30 needs to go to Anderson for a proper 4" lift and some monster 6 lug wheels running aggressive BFGs. Also the entire drivetrain out of Nico's GL10. -
I reconnected the original air lines to the front struts. The whole system seems to work fine. I have no idea why the previous owner disconnected then and put Schrader valves in, but I'm happy it all works now. Air suspension is so cool!

turbo conversion considerations re vacuum tasks

OMG yes. I hate working on GM vehicles. Why don't we just weld the fender on AND bolt it into place. Sheesh.
