Did you folks get the 2 port exhaust 1400 in '74,5,and 6 like we did?That's the engine I'd like to put the dual carb on.Are you telling me that the 2port 1400 is still not the same size as the EA71?That's one thing I'd like to know for sure. Thanks for your help.

And more.......

Now if this next one doesn't say "I just drove all night through mountains for 1400 miles in a 1973 vehicle",then I just don't know what does. Best of luck with it!!!! *****

That's right!!!

Daze home now........Just met them around noon off of I-84 in Waterbury.For some reason I'm having trouble getting my pictures into my gallery.Otherwise you'd be seeing one hell of a nice 1973 vehicle!!!!!

Oh!!,hot dang,I'd forgottten I gave a heap of the heap of them to you....sure,send him what you can please,and I'll even let you use my FedEx Ground account.I'll make up the rest with what I know I have here.....er,uh,up there.I'm sure about the dash and some door panels.

They're passing through PA right now. ...............for those of you remotely interested......

Ahh,pictures....looks like an east coast Brat. By chance,I apparently will be having a tan dashboard available.You can have it but just cover shipping on it.You did a great favor by bringing the '73 across the country.I should also have a lot of interior parts.I founf a small heap of tan interior stuff I had forgotten about,near the end of my move. I'll be in touch.

A friend of mine use to do the cargo runs for small pay,but lots of hours logged toward getting his commercial license.He'd bring a person somewhere every once in a while,but I don't think the company policy really allowed that. Infact his run went something like Stratford,CT to Danbury,CT to western PA,to Ohio,back to PA,Albany,NY,and then back towards CT...alll overnight within like 7-8 hours!!

Trudy,you RULE!!! See,it must be good karma from the '82 wagon deal you gave.

Congrats!! So,what's the little one's color scheme???? You ought to know I've still got some Brat parts hanging around. Soon,I'll be getting into the storage unit and taking pics of what's left to sell,or in your case,GIVE.And,I've got your long lost socket set.Things are looking up for you,bud!! B talkin to ya

Wow,and just like *that* he calls.... They're near LostWater's place but at this hour I doubt Mark would be around and see this in time. So,they're near Christianburg,VA rolling up I-81 with the truckers from hell,pushing and pulling them northward. Our hero says it'll be an all-nighter ,toothpicks being dispensed as needed. He should be through NY early in the morning.Personally,I'm hoping he gets to Connie's in Danbury,CT early so I can scoot up there,take some pics,wipe my drool,and cry all the way home.... in time to get some work done at home. Connie,if you see this you can all me.Depending on the timeframe maybe we'll all meet at your place,or even any spot off I-84 conveneint for us all.You're welcome to call Andrew with directions,or if your place is not good we'll meet at Marcus Dairy or somewhere,if possible.There'll be some folks there who'll appreciate seeing that car,for sure.

Last call he was going through,or just through Charlotte,NC.....or was it Charlottesville,SC?....or Charlotte's Country Kitchen after some chicken fried mountain oysters......??? I think he was going to hit Tony's-MeekyMoose-and just rest a bit,handshakes,etc. and hit the road again with he and his dad rotating toothpicks in their eyelids. Seriously,thanks to Tony and anyone else who helps our young hero. '73!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can't wait to see it.

I typically arrive fashionably late anyways so start as early as you want.Thanks for the thought. There's an airport right near by too,if anyone wants to fly in,one of us will run over and pick you up.

Hey,the white on WAS mine! My current Brat doesn't like the camera.Maybe I'll go down now and try to sneak up on it. Nice Goldie!!

Congrats!!!

Thanks for helping out guys. I got a call a while ago.Andrew says the car is excellent!!! They were just leaving the dealer and by now they're probably in SC somewhere. He mentioned possibly going up 81 instead of 95 just because of the board population/demography in the southern states. Chicken fried steak,grits,iced tea,and shoe fly pie......shooooooey boy! I hope he brings me a doggy bag!

We gotta git you a rebuild kit....and a place to send it out to. Used to be a place in Hamden,CT "Mr.Carburetor".Was indeed very reputable. Maybe Jesse would do it.He's going to need one eventually too,same carb.,same year. So....the next batch of rebuild kits that shows up,let's all be sure to get one.I think I have at least two unopened and one that was plundered,as I recall. I personally will be running three of these or maybe four (carbs) as I own two dual carb setups.So let's keep our eyes open for these.

If you're along the way please let Andrew know.He doesn't need your time necessarily,but just incase he needs someone with local info,maybe a driveway or front of the house parking for a short nap...hopefully NOT a repair.

No GL DL typically mentioned in the 4WD vehicles,pre '80,as I know it.The rest of the line got DL designations early on,like in '74 or so.GL Coupe also came about around then. The list shows a different grill for each of '77,8,and 9.I know the '79 is two round lights,correct?My '78 is quad lights,as are '77's....again,we're talking 4WD only here. '78 is the flukiest year.A little of this,a little of that.I personally love dual round lights,so I'm really glad my '78 and I found each other. Cheers

In the picture,the badge on the left is '79 (4WD) and the badge on the right is late '77 and all of '78,like my wagon.

I tried to sell some of the rebuild kits I have but I think only one was taken.They're now in a box,somewhere. It's a DCJ306-8(last digit designates low altitude) THe float can be had too.I just got one off of eBay for piddly. There's not much to them.Choke,anti deisel switch,servos,not much else that you'd remove.The rest is jets,adj. screws,air bleed valves,hardware,etc. That's your baby.

Another satisfied customer!! Scanner working!!! loving life.

I think the brushguard is on wagon78's hatchback if I remember right.

Darien car was light blue,2wd,nothing exceptional. Hey,Andrew is going to Atlanta to bring back a '73. He's got a post going looking for contacts along the way.Please check it out and see if you can contact him.You might get to see it before I do....and he'll tell you about the convert's I'm sure.
