Well i got the exchaust leak problem fixed.3 of the 4 flange holes to the head studs where striped,i put new steel threads inserts after i had to drill and tap all 3,now it's fixed.i got the heat problem taken care of also,big mouse nest and the door that lets the air flow go through to the heater core was not working,it was off the pin that makes open and close.now i got lots of heat.before long i'll have it on the road and see what else is wrong with it,i did put new fuel in it and dry gas,it does run much better. :banana:

i am working on the flange where it goes to the head,i got a new gasket and it still leaks,looks like the flange is not straight.i'll look at it again this afternoon and see what i come up with.Biil (maybe the FIRE WRENCH will fix it)

i worked on it today,it does not have the sheild on the cat. conv. that the heat rise tube connects too.so i am thinking that the carb. did ice up too.is any other way that i can hook up the heat rise thing so this wont happen again????? I did put a new alt. belt on it and started working on the exhaust leak,i'll have to check the the heat isue next.Bill.:wave:

i got a chance to look at it,wrong alt,water pump belt on it.it's got at least 2 inches of slack,no more travel on the alt. to tight in up it's at the end of the travel on the bracket.i'll replace that first and then go to second step.i hope i get some time soon to work on it.Bill:wave:

can you run another carfax????if yes i would like one on the 1987 project car that i got a week ago,thanks Bill. VIN jf2an53b5he480214:wave:

this was a donation to purple heart,i got it in flint,mi at the car auction.the price of $104.00. I drove it home and went down the road with no problems untill 73 miles later,cough,cough and the car died, i put gas in it before it died on on me and it was like somebody turned the gas off.2 nd problem,i looked the SEARCH FOR THIS and i will look at some things i read.Now the 2 nd problem is that i had no HEAT just cold air, it was 2 degrees that night.any help and hints for the 2 problems because i'll be working on it i hope some time this week.Thanks Bill.:wave:

i am glad that you guys know what i was talking about.i'll go to radio shack and get the bulbs and i thank you for the link to the thread about it thanks everybody this board is GREAT!!!!!!!!Bill.:wave:

on the wifes 3door it quit working,where can i buy one and how hard is it to replace?????the switch that turns on and off the rear wiper.thanks,Bill.:wave:

the wifes 1988 3 door D/R 5 speed has 238Kwith original motor,trans and clutch,i hopes it makes it to at least 250K.

yes i did,if he calls i'll go get it.:wave:

At best it was $100 car,i forgot to say about the big dent on the hood that he done when he backed into it with tailgate down of his truck amd the interior was nothing to write home about .Bill

i went and looked at the wagon and it was a bad CV joint,it turned in 1st gear in 2wd and the car never moved.i did not buy it because of the price and the list of things wrong with it, needs clutch needs CV joints needs headlight ( gl ) somebody stole radio and destroyed dash no dash lights no 4WD indicator lights 4 difrent tire sizes 155,165.175 some where 80s and 2 where 70s. and the main reason the price 500 FIRM!!!! i told him good luck and merry Xmas.Bill:wave:

i was told from the owner that when he puts in 2WD the car wont go forward or backwards, that's why he put it in 4WD and it drives.(he also told me that he canot hear so that's why i was wonderind if the front CV shaft gave up the gost) thanks trogdor,and thanks for the link skip, and i always enjoy reading about subarus.73.....W3RTT de/Bill N8NQU:wave:

I am going to look at it ,it's for sale and i am hoping that the CV joint gave out and tha't why it only drives in 4WD.any other thing i should look at?????Thank's Bill.:wave:

I am 25 miles south of Nasty hatchet ( Bad Axe ).If you look at the map of the thumb and see where 46 and 53 meet i am 8 miles to the N.E. of there.Bill:wave:

I'll have to see if i can get some time off and come to the meet.I am 100 miles north of detroit.Bill:wave:
