i need a rear wing/spoiler/whateveryoucallit for the back of my '84 wagon. -
i am planning to upgrade the wiper motor in my 84 wagon. it drives me nuts having weak wipers! has anyone done this before? i'm gonna scour the J/Y for a more powerfull motor. see if i can figure out an acceptable swap.
-
that TOTALLY rocks! :headbang: somebody has got to make one!
-
*sigh* my brat is well on it's way there.....
-
yeah, i'll just scoot the motor forward. i don't have access to a picker and i'll be pretty much on my own on this.
-
cool. that was my 1st instinct.
-
can i get away with just replacing the disc? or should i just go ahead and replace the whole thing since i'll have it open anyway. i'm more of a "replace the whole damn thing" kinda guy but unless the other pieces are damaged would i just be throwing money away?
-
thanks guys! i think i'll try an adjustment for now, just to see if i can get a few more miles outta her. really can't do much till the weather dries up(no garage). figure i'll try a couple o shops and see how far i have to bend over. a kit costs about $135.00 so i got a good starting point for a price. if it's too much i'll just do it myself, not afraid of that.

welp i suspect the clutch on my '84 gl wagon needs replacing. drives fine normally but when i start to climb a hill i get some slippage. plus the fact i need to practically push the clutch pedal thru the floor to change gears. now the question i have is, how difficult a job is it to replace the clutch. never done one before but i am pretty handy with tools and can figure things out quickly. any sort of special tools needed or will just your basic tools, like sockets, open ends, beer, a large hammer and fire if one gets really pissed, work?

-
any tips on getting old gaskets off?? these suckers seem to be welded on! mostly the one on the manifold.
-
yes, i got it from boosted84wagon who got it from oregonboy. i just realized i need one of those "wings" that go above the rear window! needs a few things but other than that she's in beautiful shape.
-
hey nice wagon! mine is just like it. 'cept i don't have the digi dash or A/C. was that a sun roof on yours? don't have that either.
-
mine is pretty thrashed. whats the tech term so i can get another one?
-

ease up on the "juice". -
i'm rebuilding the hitachi carb on my '84 wagon. never done one of these. done a couple quadra-jets on my chevys but never one of these foreign jobbies. already found the base gasket doesn't come with the kit, one would think it should! so any of you guys have any tips/advice on what to watch out for or things to do that may not be in the manual??
