Already moved inner axle boot clamps in for 4 inch lift & while this helped prolong boot life, more improvements were still needed. Found suggestions here: http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/topic/146933-2-lift-shredded-cvs-whats-the-solution/page-2?hl=%2Bea82+%2Blift+%2Bwith+%2Bbetter+%2Bangles&do=findComment&comment=1233972 Dropped engine & trans crossmembers 1 inch to improve front axle angles, modded intake air boot for 1 inch drop, modded skid plate for 1 inch drop, replaced PS pump & high pres hose(leaking from shaft seal), helicoiled adj ear of alternator(stripping), replaced upper & lower radiator hoses modded for 1 inch drop, reworked steering shaft coupler for 1 inch drop(longer). Replaced rad cooling fan(blades were crumbling to dust), LOF too. More yet to do: F&R brakes(rotors & pads), R&R WW motor, replace htr resistor(not all spds), change lube in trans & read diff. Its a long trip to MT & back again, so..........

Tried that a few years ago. Back then dealers carried spare parts. Recently tried again and dealer wants to take the ratchet in for repairs, but tells me these are not made anymore. Wanted to sell a fatter ratchet to me. Ever try to work in a tight spot with a fat ratchet in your hand? BOOO! Now I use palm ratchets for this - round, knurled & compact enough to twirl with two fingers. http://toolguyd.com/sk-thumbwheel-ratchet-review/

Those look like the ratchets marketed in the 70s & 80s by Proto & S-K. Good luck finding a rebuild kit for it. I can't even get ratchet internals for my "baby 3/8" Snapon that I've had since the 70's. Essentially it was a 1/4 drive ratchet body with 3/8 drive guts & great for tight spaces. Similar ratchets https://sktools.com/shop/3770-10-8-3-8-drive-flex-ratchet.html Edit: sorry turbosubarubrat, didn't check your S-K link. They are the same. And I've had that same Snapon flex-head since the 80's. Pawl & ratchet are just starting to fail now. http://www.autotoolworld.com/Stanley-Proto-34947B-38-Drive-Bent-Handle-Flex-Head-Ratchet_p_198750.html?gclid=Cj0KCQjwgb3OBRDNARIsAOyZbxCyplYPq4moz_KERExILgBSCADbJp2-v3zJr1s6LsoUG-FAgl4VeMoaAoe3EALw_wcB

electrical equation question inside
czny replied to jono's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Check out chart in center of this web page: http://www.offroaders.com/technical/12-volt-wiring-tech-gauge-to-amps/ and https://www.wirebarn.com/Wire-Calculator-_ep_41.html It is apparent that load wattage determines wire size at low voltages. P=I x E = E/R = I x I x R. P = power in watts, E = volts, I current in amps, R = resistance in ohms. Also, E = I x R to determine resistance, knowing other two values. -

Help: Identify SPI throttle body
czny replied to torpedo51's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Looks more like a 84-86 2.5L Pontiac Fiero TBI unit: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1984-1986-PONTIAC-FIERO-TBI-THROTTLE-BODY-ASSEMBLY-2-5L-4CYL-1985-84-85-86-OEM-/142480255948?hash=item212c7c2bcc:g:oRUAAOSwxh1Zl6ch&vxp=mtr Throttle position switch(TPS) looks to have been changed to a V6 or V8 one. Pontiac Fiero injector on RA: https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/pontiac,1985,fiero,2.5l+151cid+l4,1249039,fuel+&+air,fuel+injector,6224 That black cube on top of the TBI to right of bore looks like a relay that isn't part of the the TBI. Like its just sitting there unmounted. -
Help: Identify SPI throttle body
czny replied to torpedo51's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Also looks a lot like a single barrel GM TBI from a 2.5L 4 banger. Something from a 'bout 1988. Or 4 cyl Chevy S10 truck perhaps? Not from an ordinary 88-91 Chevy truck as those would be 2 BBL TBI bodies for both 6 cyl & V8. Rochester model # is on vertical surface next to throttle linkage on TBIs. GearheadEFI forum might be able to help. Can't tell you much more than that. -

In addition to the Eastwood tool, I have that same Imperial Brass double flaring set. I've had that Imperial set for years as well as Imperial Eastman ones for larger single flares in 45* & 37* AN. Very necessary for industrial maintenance. I use a fine mill file to square the tube end while tube is clamped, release the tube, deburr the end & then reinstall tubing for flaring. And a drop of 3-in-1 oil to prevent galling.

Cheap to make timing belt tool for EA82s. 3 1/2 inch disc of 3/16 steel with 3/8" drive socket welded to center on one side & 4 short 5/16" hex heads bolts welded to other side.

I have some NewInBox outer CVJs that might be correct for your EA81 axles. These are German made Lobro complete with boot kits. 22 spline inner races. Contact me if interested. Anyone?

Be sure to put 2 step bends in that heat shield so air can circulate between it & the cat converter. Like a lazy Z shape. I attached mine to the cross member with 2 machine screws at the rear edge above the cat.

6 lug Checy or Toyota - okay for hub conversion?
czny replied to NEPASubaru's topic in Historic Subaru Forum: 50's thru 70's
You haven't seen the chaos Photobucket has caused in most auto forums yet? They've managed to piss off a nation of auto enthusiasts with their antics. Keep searching USMB - you'll find some pics & threads for a 79 Brat. -

Depends on what year Brat & what tire size. Look at some of these then do a search for a Brat like yours with a 2" lift....... http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/topic/113949-lift-and-tire-size-combo-pics/ -

Yeah very nice work there. Hope you saved the old digidash threads for future reference. My Photosuckit acct with some of the digidash pics could be closing.- 7 replies

Those look like old Centerline wheels. I'm running early 90s Nissan Pathfinder wheels on my GL wagon with 4" lift. Offset is just right to clear the fender lips.
