  1. Have you checked your timing to make sure it didn’t skip a tooth ? Not sure how you did but I like to use clamps on the cams to hold the belts in place, get that last loop of the belt over the toothed gear which I leave loose until the belt slips over, then you can easily release the tensioner and your belt shouldn’t move. Just a tip. I’m guessing you have plenty of experience with other makes. Distributor ok ? No play side to side? If it is fuel your pump sits on a little shelf in back under the car on the right side. Getting hard to find replacements but maybe not so bad for this generation. I think Walbro made a good one for the EA82 FI cars. Post back what you found, and good luck. Some folks may also suggest the pressure regulator.
  2. Archives should have answers on mixing ends. I seem to recall folks swapping ends but be sure to verify. There should also be a reference chart that I recently saw.
  3. Someone can step up now and be The Man. But again I’d make sure PRP isn’t going to stock themselves with a mass amount and act accordingly. But you guys should have no problem getting your money back on a batch of 200 Sucks that they went to 200 from our 50pc orders. But that generation has a much larger audience. You’ve got folks in various continents looking for them. Your place will smell like rubber so be sure you’ve got garage or shed space. Or a very tolerant family/room mates.
  4. No I meant you. That’s kind of a lot of cable changing. Common problem with the pedal box flexing.
  5. Are you sure you don’t have a crack in the pedal box around the pivot pin area on the left side?
  6. Really sorry I can’t recall the guy. I’ll look around in my stuff. I bought a set of various bits in a lot. I got black but pretty sure he had other colors and a close enough blue and tan. So yes, there’s at least one guy. But pardon my forgetfulness at this time. It’ll come to me. I’m old now.
  7. My opinion. Go big and get it done right. Make a post on FB and here and anywhere with gen two people. You’ve got a contact at PRP so that’s good. When we did ours (twice) they said pretty much the same thing. The mold might be gone, etc, and they do come from Thailand where the rubber is plentiful in production. You’ll end up with at least a couple or so for free. You’re not going to send each one out with payment to the penny. You’ll cover a little for your expenses. Tape, gathering boxes or envelopes, gas, time… you’d be a fool to not cover yourself, right? They will come. At least enough to cover the order or cover enough that you’re comfortable retaining a larger number but knowing you’ll have a steady market over the coming years. Those you’ll charge a little more for too. If you take this route I would be SURE you know if PRP will also be stocking these. If so, how many? Think it out and play the ball accordingly. If they’re going to stock 100 then you’d probably rethink keeping a large number for the future. Otherwise what happened to the Route66 Motors guy who had them on eBay ? Here in the USA And there was or still is Phil’s in Australia The shipping issue is a tough one. I also don’t like shipping over seas. Good luck. I’m not in that group anymore so I won’t kicking in on the deal. But we did it twice. With batches of 50. And I handled it. Everyone was happy.
  8. There are two ports in your intake. One for air/fuel mixture and one for coolant/antifreeze. Sometimes that gasket under the intake goes and even sometimes just a bad moment as you’re installing etc. There’s no crack in the gasket your dad put on previous? Left bank only I’d be thinking head gasket. Maybe the shop messed up somehow. Let us know what you find.
  9. If that’s the case I have a set of new old stock headgaskets for only $20 on eBay right now. I’m kind of beat right now but I’ll give this some thought.
  10. Most serious year ever for making space and passing along some vintage Subaru parts. Milford CT
  11. Still here. Would like to sell this instead of store it. I have my own already. No that doesn’t mean I’m dropping the price. But stop by and I’ll bet you’ll want other items too.
  12. Now we’re talkin’ , thanks man. I’ll be doing that after my lunch.
  13. East coast folks I have a front windshield on eBay right now. $200 pick up in Milford CT ”cashingmystuffin” on eBay. I’m very very very serious about cleaning house. Stop by and enjoy the savings.
  14. Hey just so you know the advice I gave you was from a master Subaru tech who did this often. I also had to drop a pan and change out a full transmission harness etc. It’s not too big of a deal really. Good luck. Transmission pan gasket and some sealant if you desire. I think only sealant on the pan not to the block. That’s what I do on my old school pans. Never an issue.
  15. I’ve heard tree frogs make that noise. Seriously , doesn’t sound normal to me.
