  1. that's got the side starter mount bell housing, so it should bolt up to the ea81 tranny's, or even the ea82 trannies.....
  2. Paul, I wonder if you could take one of the 2 caps I sent you and have somebody re-make a batch of 'em?
  3. Hey, didn't realized where you were.... there's only about 128 acres actually that can be used now, and the corp of engineers is trying to get the DNR to take it over, and make it into ATV only..... I know people who have take stock vehicles there though. just be careful of the deep sticky mud.... there's a bunch of guys from http://www.iowa4wd.com heading over there the saturday before easter.....

    that's a ea81 rear diff hanger... this is ea82... http://usmb.net/gallery/albuo20/ea82_diffhanger
  5. I had the followin situation with a "new" rebuilt axle once. only 200 miles on it... car would jerk violently to the side. felt like it was gonna rip the wheel out of my hands. as soon as I swerved the car back and forth it stopped. I had both front wheels off the ground, and just rotated each tire by hand, while having it in different steering positions. the wheel should rotate smoothly without any "catches" or resistance. my right wheel had a little "catch" in it as it rotated. swerving the car from side to side acted like it was "resetting" the axle joint. turned out there was a problem with the rebuilt axxle, and got it replaced for free....
  6. are you still running with the solid motor mounts? what about trans mounts? Tom brings up a good point... since you're still powered from the trans stubs, having the pitching stopper in place is gonna help smooth out putting the power down to the wheels... similar to stopping axle wrap in a leaf sprung vehicle.... if your trans mounts are solid, then not as important... would help cause less stress on thecrossmember mount points, but that's about it.
  7. for what it's worth, I ran without a return line on a weber in a '82 4wd wagon for 40,000 miles
  8. this is fuel inlet on the US Hitachi carbs.... it will screw right into where the Weber fuel inlet is..... in ea81 vehicles, the mail fuel line that comes out of the vapor seperator goes into the main inlet of course. the return line ties back into the metal Y that also connects to the top of the vapor seperator. the third or vent line for the fuel tank is hooked up to the charcoal canister in it's stock configuration. if you get rid of that, it just needs to remain an open ended hose to let air into the tank as you use up the fuel....
  9. check it out.... http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/80s/wheels2/wheels.html new/modified items have a yellow background... also added section linking.... many thanks to everyone who has notified me of a new wheel found, sent me pictures, or had their pic swiped off their site for this page enjoy....

  11. any page that uses http://www.ultimatesubaru.org is part of the Ultimate subaru site where the board is. SJ's gallery is on USMB.net there were a couple announcements made many months ago, when the photo gallery was integrated into the board, to move everything over...
  12. Rob, I never got an email back from you on the XT6 one, on whether or not it was okay....
  13. I've been quoted anywhere from $500 to $1000 to do the job maybe find a willing board member to do the job at a better price......?

  16. the thermo switch in Normally open, and when it get to temperature, it closes (grounds) the circuit. it's what grounds the switching wire for the fan relay..... 12V -->Relay Load--> Fan -->Ground 12V -->Relay Switch--> ThermoSwitch/Radiator Ground
  17. I used the top portion of the ea82 console, and a ea81 console with the center cut out, and combined them to form a new one that works with all of my other ea81 console pieces..... http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/photos/showgallery.php?cat=657
  18. reminds me of the decals on this one.... http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/photos/showphoto.php?photo=4792&size=big&sort=1&cat=535
