83hockeywagon Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 I'm prepping to do a Weber swap on my 83 GL wagon. I obtained a new intake manifold that I will clean up, paint, and mount the Weber on. My question is how to remove the coolant pipe that connects the heater hose to the manifold under the thermostat? Is it threaded in or pressed in? I used some penetrating oil and tried to unscrew it but it didn't budge. I didn't use a lot of force since I was unsure how it is attached.

Dania02525 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Why do you want that off? do you not want heat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
83hockeywagon Posted February 26, 2015 Author Share Posted February 26, 2015 I just wanted to take it off the manifold to paint. Since it's pressed in I left it and painted it as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ME123Insanity Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Here is the manifold all painted up. Like you, I'm also doing a weber swap on my 83 brat. Do you think you could explain to me how to hook up the vacuum lines (passenger, driver side valve lines and PCV valve lines) after the weber is on? Also I hear talk about the charcoal canister but I can't find it anywhere and don't know what it looks like..? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
83hockeywagon Posted March 19, 2015 Author Share Posted March 19, 2015 I did the swap this weekend. Been a little busy to post. My charcoal canister was in front of the engine bay on the drivers side. Right up against the inside of the fender. Black, about the size and shape of a small coffee can, had three or four rubber lines running to it. I plumbed the small PCV line from the tee to the air cleaner. The large line from the passengers side valve cover I rerouted to the front of the engine compartment and added a breather filter. There is a great post on the board for an ea82 weber swap: http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/topic/71510-ideas-on-swaping-a-weber-carb-on-ea82´s/ There are a lot of similarities to the ea81. It's a great place to start. I'll try to take some pics and post tomorrow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My engine is the ea81 so prolly not too many differences between the two. It should be pretty strait forward for me now. Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ME123Insanity Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 I have another question, would a clogged PCV valve cause oil to be pushed up into the air cleaner? I believe all the lines are hooked up right but the PCV valve hasn't been touched for a long time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're Welcome! Yes, not much difference with the EA81, mainly the adaptor plate. I have another question, would a clogged PCV valve cause oil to be pushed up into the air cleaner? ... the PCV valve hasn't been touched for a long time... Maybe it is time for remove it for deep cleansing, or find a new one in case it doesn't close / open properly. Kind Regards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
