If only the sales staff were anywhere near as good as the elder parts guys there. Only times I’ve dealt with Sales people at Perkins I felt like throwing a punch or two at the arrogant €#£¥&@ Premier up the line is said to be a fairly decent ‘ship. And Charlie Miller might still be there ( super master guru above all else including GD here ). As the saying goes , Good luck wit dat !

Jim I’ve got a 92 FWD wagon that would turn heads in Weston. Reliable 2.2 Anti-theft garb would include being a five speed manual and the art inspired paint deterioration resulting in the absolute coolest patina. Super rust protected (now) since the power steering rack is shot and puked out fluid these parts few weeks. No need to join the gym , you’ll get your workout steering the car. Even aging bodies need to keep upper arm strength. Heat shields rattle , runs year round on snow tires , and has cool motorcycle racing related stickers and being my daily it has to have a Nova Scotia sticker on it. I would gladly donate it to you so you can save those SS checks and maybe buy a nicer ride in the future , AFTER you’ve hit the 500k mark. It’s at 345k now but still stunning around the cafes and stores downtown Westport, Darien, Greenwich, those kind of places. It’s the best car I’ve ever owned. Free to you as soon as I get my 2003 back. Or just buy new plastic electro gizmo what the hell does that symbol mean ?? rubber band transmission future mouse trap car. See you at Perkins.

Sounds like you managed your priorities well. Enjoy the trip back.

Ok yours just keeps getting me the same message that your email does not appear to exist. So you send and email to me at moosens@yahoo.com and I’ll reply. A bit worn out so you might not see it right away.

I had copied that original email. Should have pasted and sent , right ? anyhow , long day today. Give me some time if someone else doesn’t chime in. Will attempt again very soon.

Hang in there. We’ll get you straight.

Well the first one came back and I expect the second will as well.

The great internet told me “not a valid address” and gave me a choice to send anyways , so I did. First email is from the parts manual. Second email will be of the carb kit diagram.

Time to look for a service manual. That looks like an 80’s radio. But if the plugs are the same I would try it first.

Sorry , but I guess you’d need to sign in and join the group if you care to. I don’t like FB but suffer occasionally there to mostly sell parts. There’s pictures from the factory parts manual and from a carb kit. Also showed the parts lists. My dad had an 81 DL wagon bought new. Rubber flooring , no A/C , and the door chime - ding ding ding , that was so new back then , and somewhat annoying. I really have a lot of very clear memories of that wagon. The sound of the exhaust crackle when you turn it off. Great car!

I’m going to add to that in the comments. Just found a carb kit.

See if this helps. https://m.facebook.com/groups/438010226261479?view=permalink&id=3403768263018979

If I could manage pictures I’d be adding them right now. I have the factory parts manual/catalog and I am looking the carb over.

They aren’t too hard to get and for years I could never understand why more people refused to bother who so obviously would have benefited. And the younger gen argument against paper vs electronic. Phooey !! We probably have the exact same issue. I have an 80-81 combo too. Not bragging but just to show proof. I have pretty much all of them from the 1969 or so 360 thru the 70-71 ff1 , and the beginning of the “Leone” era , thru both stages , and into the 80’s. They’ve helped me. I could care less what someone else thinks of them. You’ll see me selling off my later issues. And eventually my older ones too after I sell my parts off. Ok back to work.

And look for and/or feel for the countersink in the axle and drive the pin out in that direction and re-insert it into that same countersink. It’s easier when you don’t fight tapers. Yes , that’s happened to this old man back when , where the punch was too thin but not such a disaster as I didn’t drive it hard and was able to yank it out after only minimal cussing. So naturally I have proper size punches in my box now. Enjoy !

As far as I know there can be found online both the factory service manuals and the parts manuals which are also called catalogs. They’ll help a lot.

I’m curious how you set the limits. When I do motorized shades I do that either on the unit itself at the motor while toggling the step motor or remotely if that applies. So where would you be able to set limits from ? Thanks for the education. I’ll likely have a 2017 or one from that era .... oh maybe in a few years. For now I stick with the old school. Too much electronics these days.

A few enthusiasts here but you’d sadly reach more people elsewhere. Theres a few face book groups and also the obvious auction sites. Let’s hope there’s still some rabbit folks here. I’ll alert my local guy. Good luck and thanks for offering it up here.

Thanks ! I’ll check it all out soon.

No worries there my friend. oil in , oil out , doesn’t make a bit of difference just be on top of it and change as needed , you know that No oil will spill out if that’s a concern. As long as the drain plug is in and you haven’t removed anything you’re good to go.

Maybe as classic cars move forward someone will be selling some serious DIY cable making kits like motorcycle owners have had to do. Maybe they exist already for cars and trucks ? So my clutch cables just went up in price , cool. Routing is key. Making sure your pedal box isn’t cracked is another. Older 70’s first gen you want that support spring hanging it too. It all helps and all belongs there and in their respective places.

Cool , thanks !

Larry , hold on brother, let me see what I have up here because I am pretty sure I have a good compressor. Between two of our three cars I know I’d be smart to snag this clutch as a backup or to make run. Just looking for info on how to get that clutch off.

Funny results with search. Besides you love the conversation. First gen Legacys 90-94 , I know of a now rare in this area , parts car. My thought was to snag just the clutch as it was looking fairly decent compared to the three vehicles we have. And my wife’s car really needs an A/C overhaul including either a new unit or clutch. That will be going to one of our kids very soon too so I’d like this car to eventually have a fine functioning system once again. So , pardon my asking and not searching or trekking out for my service manual - which may or may not have A/C. What’s the deal with those again ? I did a quick you tube search and watched a guy do his mustang ... but this is where happiness lies for me. Thanks my brothers n sisters. Cheers! FYI , I’m just not into buying a new clutch or throwing any much money at these cars. I’m waiting on my 2003 so I’m leaving 90-94 partially , then the wife will soon have something much more new. And the kids can have the remainders or I’ll part them out or offer them.

Now you’re talkin ! Cheapie wall fart deal worked for me on an older model but placement same. Got rain gutters ? Nothing does anymore but I have some totally witchin Thule racks you can make use of if you stop by Milford tomorrow. Pretty sure the cheapie wall fart rack is there too which would not require rain gutters or “making it work” methods. It’s cheap yet safe all around.
