EA71 sputtering above idle
moosens replied to talldude's topic in Historic Subaru Forum: 50's thru 70's

79 GL Wagon front end crunch-need some parts
moosens replied to def's topic in Historic Subaru Forum: 50's thru 70's
Tought to say from here but looks "bangable" for the radiator support. Pics looking down into the engine bay and/or of the front unibody "rails" would show more of the extent of the hit. It doesn't look bad to me if the fender didn't buckle up. So I'd say get stripping it and bang that radiator support back into shape. At least try. Good luck. -

Jessekrs123's 1984 Subaru BRAT

Used to very popular to tow a brat or Gen I 4wd wagon. But that's decades ago up here. See you in the spring. Truck stop Milford. Exit 40. I'll be the guy in the old Subaru. -

Drive on up to new England this fall. We'll treat you to a coffee at Dunkin Donuts. I really want to see an old brat behind a motorhome. -

That looks like a Bozzuto's trailer. Careful what you say. Lol Any meets up that way? I'm down for embarassing myself with loud exhaust. -
77 wagon voltage regulator question
moosens replied to stanced77's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
What you need to do is replace the alternator and V/R at the same time. You can update to a solid state regulator. -
Hey , welcome. I'm currently doing a side gig at CCSU in Newington. Bristol is nice if not for the pro football players. LOL wongleflute Blick's (Plainville?) is the coolest place for art folk. But I'm a Bridgeporter so its all nice outside of the city line. Enjoy the Baja and this Board ! Cheers! I'm old school but I'm sre folks here will help you with the Q's Edit - you can't type the name D i C k here? Geez , its the name of the store ...... People not familiar with this store will find the name funny for sure. But that's THE COOLEST art supply store I've ever seen.

My first Subaru----1979 Brat
moosens replied to NEPASubaru's topic in Historic Subaru Forum: 50's thru 70's
Take the little pins out of the wedges? Then use a punch or something and tap them. Better to tap from inside towards outside if you can get in there, and you can. Spray with penetrant first. Bolts as shown above. I've scored loaded rebuilds. Good luck! -

Thanks! Did Ahnold legislate doing time for emissions offenders? Death camp for oil leakers? Lol Seen those pickup units on eBay around $13 FYI to all. -
Documented: The 1970 FF-1 Project car...
moosens replied to Kostamojen's topic in Historic Subaru Forum: 50's thru 70's
Good luck to the new owner! Cheers! -
I think we should ask Danny to fit one of those early 4WD bumpers up to a FWD later 70's (Stage II) to see if it fits for width. Mounting will be custom but nothing too difficult. Anyone else done this? Stage I 4WD bumper to Stage II any vehicle.....? And Danny , if you see this - you have a set of those from me back when you were here. We weren't sure at the time and I said take them anyways and we'll figure out what to do later. I'm at a point now where I really want to try those on my Stage II 4WD Wagon.

My first Subaru----1979 Brat
moosens replied to NEPASubaru's topic in Historic Subaru Forum: 50's thru 70's
Don't modify it ! LOL Yes , fix it , and keep it healthy in the same state it exists. Enjoy , and we'll see you at Carlisle PA third weekend in May - OK ?? You can drive it up here for a Caffeine and Carbs meet if you like. Check it out and no I don't expect you to show but if you did you can park in a side lot and I'm sure you'll get as much attention or more than several lesser known cars that sell for over $300K. No kidding. But Carlisle is plenty cool enough. Cheers! -
MR Loyale , for sure you're better off vacuuming out but I did the cheeseball method and am happy to say it works plenty good enough for getting through the dead of summer. But yes , I agree and will likely revamp my entire system soon since the clutch is aging on the compressor and the obvious need to extract the humidity. I do notice the slight smell and inaffectiveness at start up but as mentioned it's a $44 blessing right now. So my message is if you're driving a car you're only expecting short life from or expecting to refurbish it you can get by cheap in this case. Kit is easy to work with. Granted I'm in New England not AZ but we're typically 80-90 degrees in the dead weeks and 90% humidity from end of June thru mid August or later. Good luck everybody!

'81 BRAT rear suspension helper - help! ;-)

Side note to you Owain , I'm disgusted with the new rates of the Postal folks here and I pulled the plug on shipping your windshield gasket until I could search some and find a rate that doesn't make this a loss for me. Seriously , its gotten that much. Hang tight and I promise I'm working on it and will do my best to conclude this week , maybe Wed. I've been working 7 days a week and some 2nd gig work too so please pardon the tardiness. I sometimes get caught up in these shipping funks but always come through. Cheers! This problem mentioned is happening to many of our vehicles. Mine is a victim as well. Haven't had anything drop out of the car yet but the rubber is shot and the whole stability seems at risk. But its still functioning well so I'm just pressing on until I make a big decision on wether to advance with this car at all or just move on. Anyone know if those are the same pieces carrying forward onto the next Gen.? -
79 GL Wagon front end crunch-need some parts
moosens replied to def's topic in Historic Subaru Forum: 50's thru 70's
GL as in four headlights? Regular chrome bumper or you looking for the 4WD optional iron 2x4 with the loop? Sounds like you have a 4WD from the two fans. Danny W - "drivesubies" on here and "dannybreadman" on eBay has some new parts that would help you. My storage is hell right now but I could in the near future help you out too. My stuff is mostly good used - no junk , no rust. The radiator support can usually be banged back to decent enough shape so everything lines up well enough. All depends on how bad it is. You can cut and replace those as well , and Danny should have one. You'll be ok soon , I'm sure. Doesn't sound too bad. -
79 they went to a wider case engine where the pump no longer pumped through the external duct you can see on top of the narrow case engines preceding yours.
