Im running mine at around 10 or 11. You can advance it but not crazy. If your not hearing any pinging you "should" be ok but i would turn it back a bit just to be a bit more on the safe side.

Marks are not on the pulley. Its not a chevy lol. The timing marks are on the front of the flywheel/flexplate. There is a timing window in the bellhousing on the passenger side of the motor. If you have a a rubber plug still (most dont anymore) pull it out and rotate the motor to #1 TDC I believe and you will see the marks. Then mark em up and time away! Good luck. As for vacuum advance, that whole thing about the 2wd dis having better advance may or may not be true. I have run both the 4wd and the 2wd dis and have felt no differences to be honest. If your vacuum advance canister on the dis is working then i would leave it as is. If you want to try the direct method i dont think it would hurt. Thats how anyone running a weber (me) is running their advance but i feel no difference in power.

Yea i still havent learned it lol. I love my EA81. Ive replaced just about everything and know how to fix it when it breaks (which thankfully does not happen too frequently now that ive dumped a ton of cash in it). Once well maintained they are great cars. They all need some lovin at this point though.

Nature of the beast. Its a 20+ year old car. Its not going to be without problems. Even if the former owner kept up on maintenance and its got low mileage it does not mean that it wont have those sorts of problems if you start to drive it daily. I have replace both axles twice on my subaru along with a host of other things and i just hit 90k alittle while ago (EA81 sedan) so i understand where your coming from. But look at it this way....as long as the engine and transmission and rear are in good shape I wouldnt worry too much. Its still cheaper than buying new...sorta lol.

By any chance roaming the yards do you stumble on EA81 era things..such as the dual carb motor? Just had to ask.

84 four spokes. Those are my fav stock EA81 alloy.

If they dont talk to Bigjim at overseas in Vancouver Canada. hes a member on here and has a few posts about webers in the venders forum. Good guy to deal with.

Jets are as follows: 140/140 main jets 160/170 air corrector jets 50 or 55 or 60 main idle jet. Secondary idle jet should be fine at 50. On my car i found i needed to run a 60 on the main idle jet so there was no dead spot right off the line.

Did some digging and found out their name...gardner exhaust. Too bad they only deal with musclecars :-\

They came stock in the JDM Subaru Leone RX from around 83/84 i believe. Um wanna sell it lol? Couldnt resist

Not hating at all Rob. I respect the fact that you have one of the reliable EA82Ts. You had to go through some crap to get there though right (as in not so good EA82Ts)?

Yea what kaboom are you on Rob?

There was a place not too long ago featured on spike tv or in my magazines (or both) that remanufactured original exhausts. Im not sure of the name but they are out there and probably have an exhaust for your car.

There are a few of those scooting around my area...with big fat rear tires and skinny front tires lol. Nice find. Just one question not necessarily directed at you...do all late 70s cars have to be poop brown or pea green

Yup im running a set of them in my car now. Not sure if they are just a pain in the butt to put in because they are aftermarket or because they are just a tight fit but i ended up dropping the crossmember, bolting it on to the tranny without the crossmember and then bolting the cross back in place.

Yea I forgot my camera otherwise i woulda shot a few pics. It was great to see everyone again and i had fun. Thanks to John i am now on the path to spending more money on the sedan lol. Im sure ill make a thread about it later on when i actually start the build.

I gotta ship off the wheels still and eat some bfast then ill be heading out. Might be a little later than 12 since im stopping at the packy too in hopes of finding NA beer for Rob.

If you play with the gas will it stay running? Honestly something sounds more out of wack then just throttle linkage. Have you also checked for vacuum leaks? My check list would be: Choke...adjusted? Vacuum leaks Something plugged up inside the carb Without knowing more thats all i got for you.

Well good news!!! Im COMING!! The rain i guess was just last night so it didnt affect my mowing one bit. Got em all done today and on top of it all finally got paid for a set of wheels that I sold on ebay. No i didnt ship em out until i was paid but it took the people a friggin month!!! I had to open an ebay case against them. Im shipping the wheels out today so i can be rid of them once and for all. (iroc wheels)

Well im looking at the radar right now for whats in store for us tomorrow. There is a chance i wont work tomorrow because of rain and if thats the case will not be able to make it saturday Cross fingers that im working tomorrow. (for those that dont know i work landscaping).

I cant remember locations exactly but one of those lines should be the return and the other is the tank vent (leave open). If you pulled the lines off the stock carb the fuel return should have been the smaller of the two that was hooked up right next to the main fuel line.

How many people are going to be drinking beer and to those that are what do u want? I can pick up a 6 or 12 pack of whatever. Or if there are not going to be too many people drinking i can just bring some cookies or something. Let me know.

So in other words dont stand anywhere near me or Tommy...or Neo for that matter:eek:

Wasnt that my job setting johns...um rear...aflame with the grinder? :lol:

Hmmm tough one there. Im going with both since ive never met u and would like to....and since i have had connies cooking and its leaves nothing to be desired after....mmmmmhhhh burgers!!!:slobber: Best burgers EVER
