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.

GUYS N GALS PLEASE EXCUSE THE CAPS AND THE FACT THAT IT SURE LOOKS LIKE I HAVE MY LOT SOLD. THANKS EVERYBODY. I’ll still be involved , still retain a few essentials for a potential car down the line , but I’m not keeping much and I’m NOT going to be selling parts. Not 1970’s anyways. Enjoy your summer northern hemisphere !! Tons of 1970’s New old stock and great used parts. Most of you have seen this before. I was hoping I had a sale on my posted lot earlier this year but it has not happened. Milford CT if you can drive on over you’ll leave here happy if you own a 1972-79 Leone GL DL GL1400 Coupe , or gen one Brat. For the new people - the old folks have seen this all too much - I have a LOT of New Old Stock that’s genuine Subaru parts. Call it OEM or NOS or whatever you’d like. It’s real and here for you through my efforts. Any used parts were saved because they were plenty fine and had life left. Some of the items you are welcome to purchase and also you are welcome to make a deal on a large lot. Get here , we’ll pull stuff outside , and make a deal. ATK crate engine rebuild for dealers and shop. Ready to start a fresh life. Widecase last revision of the 1600 EA71 so it applies to 79+ but is also able to drop in for earlier 1977 1978 and 1979 narrow case (external water). This engine is INTERNAL WATER like it’s later EA81 cousin. Zero miles. Longblock ready for your intake. Looking for $750 Ken has dibs on this one but in case he changes his mind or in case you have a fatter wallet - shortblock EA71 1600 was done for an ultralight flyer guy. He and I did an exchange. Bored .040 over and I’m sure trustworthy as he was going to fly with it. He’s got it locked at $300 And a complete 1600 EA71 early version with external water , I pulled this engine and it’s a 94k or thereabouts engine. Complete with intake and carb. Probably just drop in and go but I’d be smart and give it a good tune up etc , seals , valve rocker cover gaskets , that sort of stuff. $450 takes it. Place that money in my hand and I’ll gladly include what I can for new seals and gaskets. In fact I have a partial full kit I’d happily include for peace of mind. So you’d have a non leaker for sure when you plugged it in. Fenders , a mix of New and old. And both stages. 1972-77 stage one and stage two 1977 through 79 and 81 for Brat. $125-250 Front valance (lower skirt) for 4WD wagon and BRAT - new $200 , used $75 - 100 Glass - just about every one you can think of. Also have front windshields. $30 and up , that’s not $30 per piece. There is a rare Coupe windshield there. $$ All sorts of parts like exhaust , wheels , lights , switches , gasket kits , brake kits , so much it’s like the title says. I’m tired kids. And rent went up so my prices aren’t going lower. As was mentioned first off , and for over a year now , get here first and make the best deal if you’re wanting to buy a large lot. Jason from NC made the drive. It’s your turn now. Weather is best now. Won’t be for long though. Read the top. Edited memorial weekend 2021 Sale of lot. This thread will be dead.

Those are my local guys. The older guys there are fantastic. They’ve ordered from west coast distributors for me before and I walk in. The younger guys , aaagggh , not so great. But to see those , hmmm , makes me wonder. I mean sure I trust those guys , but I also know for sure they’ve purged their shelves of those parts LONG ago so this set has likely been purchased by SOA more recently given those parts tags. Just saying’ ... they sure look good. But causes me to wonder. GD says no longer available yet this set has very new tags on it. Perhaps dealers or the distributors are allowed to shop suppliers for elder car parts and just use SOA strictly for what SOA expects them to stock ? I’d bet my left one that SOA doesn’t want them wasting theirs shelf space on parts for anything over 15-20 years max up here in the rust belt. All very interesting.

Saw horses and plywood. Getting old here , can tell ya you’ve got to start thinking like you are now. Aches n pains have to be minimized.

If you post the KYB numbers and any others like Monroe or Gabriel I might be able to match up a set for you. No promises!!! But I do have some shocks and struts I’m cleaning house of. Most all are KYB only one or two of other brands. Good luck.

From poor memory I believe you might find it in line all alone in the engine bay. Passenger side. But my 78 4WD wagon which I’m thinking of had a winch at one time and I may be envisioning that fuse. Not able to recall ever dealing with this 5a fuse. Good luck.

Story of the day .... Cleansing my workshop of 80’s parts I sold an EA81 to a guy who drove from western Illinois to Connecticut. It was supposed to be my extremely low mile engine. At that time I was completely dipped in this Subaru - fix em and run em - sort of lifestyle. I had I think 8 or 9 EA81’s. Somehow I sold him the wrong one. He was going to use this for ultralight fun and flying over his cornfields which he said was all you could see , he was deep into the rural zone. So I offered him ALL of my EA1’s including the correct engine. He and his son drove back and got them all. They had a water pump issue , and changed that in their Dodge van , then headed back to the land of Lincoln. ( hope I got that right ). That my friend is EA81 dedication !! Best of luck with it! Enjoy !

You’re in Cali and can’t find a replacement ? I know it’s 2020 and not that many left but I’m still surprised. Good luck with it. And many of us have had engines shipped to us to save elder cars. Count me in in that one. I sure thought it was well worth it.

That picture of the two front windshields must have been put directly onto FB and likely I deleted it when some punk ticked me off. But you don’t need pics , trust us , it’s got longer “ears”. Ok buy some glass from this guy !

I did somewhere have a picture of Both with the standard against the Coupe and you can clearly see the upper “ears” are a bit pronounced on the Coupe. Will try to find that pic soon. Story - and a true one - Danny W from this board “dannybreadman” had purchased not just dealer stock that some of us have managed to find , but the Mid-Atlantic regional distribution center’s old stock !!! He sat on it and then passed it along to a guy also from here I think he was djcommie or something like that. He’s in Michigan I think , or up that way and lays low , real low. I would bet my left one that he’s holding plenty of glass. I know Danny and I communicated a lot and pretty positive he mentioned crates of glass including front windshields. I wouldn’t hold my breath waiting to see if this guy is going to cut stuff loose. There’s at least two used ones in my stash. And a load of other glass too. Good luck with these. Not excited about crating glass myself but I think I’ll be doing that soon. Folks are going to have to cover my time and materials , so a $150 item will be like $250 plus shipping , but we’ll see.

Thanks all ! I think I’ll keep the wagon stock unless the great one declares the swap can be done cost effective to my budget. I don’t have the space to do this and getting too old.

Sorry to sidetrack for Preston but I’m pretty sure Todd - Subaru3 did add here somewhere that he was able to use a standard gasket for a Coupe by carefully stretching and maybe had one minor relief cut , but not sure on that. Coupe gaskets are just about impossible to find. If one shows up you know what to do. Nice thread of glass. That new unit is tempting. I also have a huge amount of glass but to have that new unit for a future resto , hmmmm.

Pardon my ignorance and lack of having my two cars to review. My soon to be daily driver 2003 Legacy wagon which I think is an L or an LS model is with Subafreak upstate. Same for the parts car 2003 GT sedan. At this moment the great one , Subafreak isn’t too sure and I’d rather bother you guys than bother him. But are those calipers the same ? And yeah just because he isn’t sure doesn’t mean he isn’t the great one. Lol

Wish you were closer. My dog is a rabbit chaser and needs the action. good luck out there man !

By all means try to keep the body style on the road if it’s within your means. Good luck with it. If it has a carburetor that isn’t in need of replacement then you’ve got a reliable runner in most cases.

Not worth the agony. Consider stepping up and getting a reliable 2.2 and the five lug , larger brakes and wheels to go with it.

You’re worrying too much about it. Just check them and good luck with the ride back. If you can cover them with insurance that might help. That’s my theory. Same with your bringing tools. You’re doing it for insurance. The couple of bucks for insurance won’t mean much but A- you’re covered if crap goes really wrong and B- it seems to me once you pay for insurance the bad apples in the organization see that and just pass it along knowing there may be an investigation. Have fun !

Tyler , this particular forum is generally for the 70’s cars and gen one brat thru 81 You might get lucky here but I’d also post where the 80’s folks can see if you didn’t already. Nuc , another member here has one on eBay , or just did. It’s the four spoke wheel which is from a GL but will swap direct for the DL two spoke. I can’t recall Tommy’s eBay name at the moment.

Just saying if I were you I’d pull the engine and get all the gaskets and seals you can while some still exist. Do it right. You have no idea what really happened and it’s just safe and smart. After that look to the EJ22 - once the 1800 reaches it point of no return. Good luck and enjoy it ! Best year to have.

Have your dealer look at the west coast supply house. Not sure where you are but here in CT that’s what I had my local dealer parts guru good guy do for me. God luck.

One on the way , I can just sense it.
