How’s the distributor looking ? If 78 it’s mechanical - points You pick this bad boy up yet ?

Hey Jim , if you need a second guy and you’re still up the road in the woods I’d be happy to be that guy. Usually catch sleep in the morning but I’m flexible.

Check for factory service manuals online ? Wiring diagram might help. I recall some service manual which showed a breakdown of each plug with pins , it’s function , etc.

And if I think of it I will check my 1985 FPM for ya.

Does anyone have or know of factory Parts Manuals online ? That would surely show if there are two different cylinders. 99% of me says they are the same from like 1977 through 1994 Loyale. But check the 1% for kicks.

Sweet !

I lose any more teeth and I have to move to the Valley. Sounds like sir toke is on an elder 2.2

I have “131” , sorry. This is an older part number and may have superseded. Mine is 12003AA131 Still has its part tag and the order tag with my name on it from the dealer. It has one tube at the top. Tried to add a pic but no go.

And if the seal or gasket wants to slip out you can use a little Vaseline or dab of grease depending on what you’re doing. Nothing is best if you can achieve. The infamous O ring for the EA82 Mickey Mouse was always one of those.

You retired ?? Damn ! Keep a chair in the basement ?? Enjoy it Jim !!!

Had a live lizard escape while my son was inspecting it when old dad told him not to do that. LOL So has to pull the dash on our 92 Legacy. It was easy enough , caught the lizard , and then learned about how the speedo cable can not quite fit back until all in place and then needed that extra push.

13 hours , the suspense is killing me !!!

Larry - lmdew is a great source I must add.

There are still new ones available. It’s a common problem. Most cars in the northeast 95-99 especially , will get rusted out at the bend where sand collects on top. And that plastic cover works against you if you don’t spray under it often. Too late now. There’s a new one hanging in my storage. If you can’t find one send me a PM here. Not really anxious to let mine go yet.

Success on the horizon , I can see it.

Reach up there following the cable from the firewall slide your hand until you hit the backside of the cluster. Press in and then check. Dashboards and clusters can be removed but you might be able to avoid that.

All that and looks like he’s missing the 88 !!! Keep looking. Maybe an 88 brochure on eBay or ?

No paint chip leaflets on eBay to review ? I know I see them randomly. Maybe Mick’s web pages of brochures has them. Search “Indy’s World” I think is what he has them under.

The 360 series here in the USA and I guess several markets. It failed here so they quickly supplied a boxer engined , slightly larger and totally awesome ff-1 series , given other names in various markets. Star as they were called. That lasted just a few years before the “Leone” series which was here in the USA around 1972. There are overlaps if each series into the others. 1972-77 Stage One is part one of the First Generation as we refer to them. 1977 Stage two through 1979 cars would be part two of the first gen. Brat is the same generation through 1981. Next model cars begin 1980 Next model Brat begins 1982 usa

In this case I don’t see an under hundred K interior in any of the pictures. Indicators I type about often would be the Caution decal on the drivers door among others. But I can see the first red Brat you have in the building is the sweetie. Maybe it is original mileage and just a bit more weathered. But no worries. There’s a good amount of used parts showing up lately. I just sold an uncracked dashboard. Others have posted (boasted) of theirs so you have a shot at one. Or there’s covers. Have fun and enjoy the process.

Your first rodeo ?! Did I miss something ? You can find gasket sets and carb kits. Whichever pedal box you chose to install be sure to inspect it well and certainly read the stories about those wearing a crack in the side and causing clutch cable issues. Reinforce it before you install if at all possible. Lately I see a good amount of used parts. Not just mine. I see guys cleaning garages out etc. Some good offers out there. Heater box will be nasty and difficult to make great again , but not impossible. Maybe before splitting one open just select the cleanest of the three and work with that one as is. Tough to tell your heater core without seeing it. Those can still be found too. Same for the cock (spigot). Great project. Enjoy !

Dashboard at the far left (drivers USA ) right up by the windshield. Also stamped into the unibody in the engine bay on the firewall. Its a gen one so you can’t go wrong. 78 , 79 not a big deal. 78 will have black lower panels on the seats.
