If you click the Homepage link above, then down the left hand side, click the 80's Subarus link, then go to helpful diagrams, there is a wiring diagram, but it uses a DPDT switch instead of the stock switch.... or you can go to the new USRM Article I just posted with 2 options..... http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/article.php?a=83 enjoy!!!!

Midwest 3 - Interest thread
mcbrat replied to mcbrat's topic in Meet n' Greet. Your USMB Welcome Center
Was hoping to do it early again, like April-June could do August too. July and Sept. are totally shot for me..... we could stay around the Des Moines area. more services, hotels, etc... not many dirt roads though.... there's a mild (according to Jeepers) off-road place near Iowa City, which is 2 hours east of Des Moines... -
anyone tried running a 4bbl on their soob?
mcbrat replied to dragonwingsubaru's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
the adapter you speak of won't fit the hitachi intake, but comes *close* to mating up with the weber adapter. would have to be modified slightly. -
okay, starting to kick this around..... last year for the MudFest, we had people from: Iowa (5 vehicles) (2 of these are now in CO, and 1 other is headed for the AirForce) South Dakota (3 vehicles) Missouri (1 vehicle) Wisconsin (2 vehicles) (one is now in Boise, ID) Indiana (1 vehicle) Nebraska (2 vehicles) Midwest 1 was a day trip, held in Omaha, NE right by the Missouri River at a nice park. Midwest 2 was held in a sticky Gumbo Mud Bog in Western Iowa Midwest 3: where should it be....? have already had a couple of votes for "Not in a muddy cornfield" Since we are all spread out, do we want to do the camping thing again? and hope for better weather.... Thoughts?

How has everyone done theirs? on my old '82 Mountain Grizzly Wagon, I ran a wire all the way to the back, and came out the rear hatch at the top so the wire just layed over the seal... then to the roof rack? My '80 wagon has a wire coming up the inside of the B pillar, and then out through the window seal to the lights.

looks good!

Steering wheel time. *pics, WRX installed*
mcbrat replied to WJM's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
yes, Gen1/Gen2vehicles have interchangeable steering wheels. the blue wheel in the pic was one I got on eBay. it's not a MOMO, just a "clone" that uses the MOMO 6 bolt pattern. I also got the MOMO adapter off eBay. -
I have dimension info on the 4WD Turbo decals and the XT6 decals, just haven't gotten around to finalizing them yet.... plus I can make them almost any size you need........ (I just need to get a bit more organized in my new desk area....) there are a couple of different styles of "4WD" as well, so if you want an exact repro, send me a pic of what you have along with dimensions based on the letters, not the clear extended part of the original decals. Vanislru was looking for those same Turbo decals.....

the splines are the same.... I'm sure there is some subtle difference, or they'd be the same part no. -
hey, do you happen to have a pic of them on?

thanks for the Plug the USMB decals show discontinued, but I still have 2 black ones left..... one of the things on my "to do" list is to come up with a USMB 2005 decal....

mcbrat replied to WJM's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
the splines are the same, but I'm guessing how the horn stuff works isn't compatible, (espec. based on Wills last post....) I'm guessing that's why the adapter would be listed for the ea82.... but the splines are what matters the most so so happy "wheeling" -

mcbrat replied to WJM's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
my blue one cost about the same. I got it mainly 'casue I didn't have tilt in the 80 wagon, and the wheel was a lot smaller.... kind of weird getting used to, especially w/o power steering..... -
http://buy1.snapon.com/catalog/item.asp?P65=&tool=all&item_ID=14957&group_ID=2358&store=snapon-store&dir=catalog and Qman posted on another thread about using this with one of the impact drivers that you hit with a hammer to break them loose. the bolt heads like to twist off, so be careful....

something to keep in mind also, is tht they will run crappier with bad mpg if the disty vac advance is bad.... I put the old MityVac on the disty this morning, and no vac at all. wasn't even a slow leak. wouldn't hold anything... luckily I had a new one handy, so I replaced mine this morning and everything is running much smoother...
