I do know I have both complete trailing arms from something 4wd late 70's and they are up front in my storage. I wanted to get a brake adjuster but the studs snapped.

I will check for you in the daytime tomorrow. They are going to be hard to find soon unless they are the same thru the next generation. Even still I know here in the rust zone they're all gone.

Crap , did I forget ?? Just too busy then too burnt out from being too busy..... And yeah , EA71 and EJ22 F the rest. Lol Cheers Hey , wow for the weather!!! Got a snow storm/blizzard thing , had a blast in the old 78 - see post in 90's forum , but it's looking like might be time for early spring. Much to do there at storage. I see Brat jump seats selling at decent numbers ,,,, ship Earl's Coupe seats , sell stuff like mad .... The usual dreams. Lol Todd , maybe tonight on my shift.

You can cut the housing on the ea81's -

I'm in need of a solid vintage ride. We'll have to talk soon. I might go with Brian's tailgate after all but lots to get settled here too. Focus - yes , focus.

Gotta be a real man to drive the old schooler!!! Lol Any candy tushy can drive a car they make today.

Yes , and they sit right near the front. You're going to see them this year , this spring , or this winter..... Have the rear upper and lower and the passenger front. They'll go Greyhound. I'll ship , you can pay when you get them. Earl my brother , I just had to pass on Brian from MT's tailgate wagons. But please keep an eye open for me for one or an early coupe or stage one 4wd wagon over the coming year(s). My son is likely going to college out west so you will eventually see me out there and I'm sure I'm dragging something back east. Cheers ! And happy frikkin new year !!

Indeed !!! Happy new year!

1100's and 1300's getting just about impossible to find. I hope somebody takes you up on the offer but I doubt there's anybody here that will. Several of us here have come across old dealer stock and there's often old 1100 and 1300 bits. Always wanted to rebuild one. I'm pretty sure one or maybe two engines are still in ctsuba's old stock but I'm not sure what's going to happen with the guy who took over his stuff after he died last year. The 1300 boxer was once explained by scientist type dudes to be the most efficient gas engine that could be produced! And they had barely any issues from overheating and head warp like the 1400 did because they removed too much material when boring to 1400 spec. An interesting and viable piece of Subaru history. Probably will go to scrap but so it goes. Good luck on the new engine. And hell yeah post pics ! Roosting ! Lol

Nothing wrong with that ???? These days the only car I have to toss around freely on icy no winter maintenance roads is my 78 wagon which itself still needs help before I can join you. But my son and his friend really want to get involved in such hooliganism , I'm sure. Lol I just got him an old lady 92 FWD Legacy sedan replacing his 99 2.2 sedan, which was AWD. That one would be fun to beat on. I'm going to further inspect it but I'm pretty sure it's not getting better with a few parts over the counter ..... Engine swap or nothing the way it looks. Anyhow ... Send me a PM thru here or email me at moosens , yahoo , you know the deal. Just put Subaru Winter Fun in the title so I don't delete it. Lol We just let go of a 96 Impreza and now it's in Subafreak's hands so it'll probably run another 20 years.

Interesting ! Jumping into the pool blind here I'll guess you are looking to get proper ignition timing. Lots of archives here. Make sure the cap is on correctly and the correct one for your distributor. Old school there are ND and Hitachi. NGK wires and plugs are top dog Making sure the cap shows #1 to the front passenger side take out spark plug #1 and hand crank the engine with a 22mm socket and put a finger over the open hole as you crank. When you feel pressure against your finger that is the compression stroke. Now you need to fine tune. Get something that won't break to go into the plug hole and using the crank - not making rotation - gently going back n forth find where the piston come to its peak of travel by watching the object you used. Once you are comfortable your there if the cap is on correctly and wires too you should start right up. Hope that's what you needed.

West Woods Rd - there are more than one. There's WW 2 and another variation. Lambert Rd. all around Skiff Mtn and Elsworth Hill area. Good luck.

You're in the best part of the state. You should be telling us not asking. Plenty of "don't get caught" spots. Skiff Mountain area. Up by the NY line Kent , Sharon , Salisbury... What are you driving ?

You ask what to buy. I would say the inexpensive and plentiful "power steering reservoir reseal kit". Catch pan made from cutting a milk jug or soda bottle helps. Remove the lines and drain it. Dismount. You'll do fine and no leaks. Do check for slight cracks while you have it exposed. Try not to stress the fittings when removing the lines. Kit has copper washers too. Have a bench or surface and break it down , very simple. Worth the effort and $19. Oil leaks - as mentioned. Don't know your level but if you have or rent/borrow and engine crane you'll probably do just fine buying the seals and metal upgrade cover and going at it. Rear main seal just a few bucks. You'll be confident of the back side at that point. You can always easily reseal the front.

Adding snapped bolts to the thread. These kits have had pulley bolts snap as well. Cheapest metal too. Second to cheapest rubber belts.

They absolutely suck. Same for car parts wiz. No line up marks on the belt !!! wTF ?? Of course we were lucky to have faint lines on the Subaru belt to transfer over.

Ahhh lovely weather for a clean out. Just bumping this up for kicks. Mostly want to get the plows moved out first. For entertainment sake feel free to search my old posts on Plows for sale. Just type in plow. Meanwhile , I don't see myself getting too lucky with a really full blown clean out at storage until springtime. Have a great Christmas or holidays and be safe. See you in the spring unless this freak weather El Niño thing hold up. Cheers !

The new Skip ! Lol Nice rig !

Take out spark plug number one up front on passenger side. Take a 22mm socket and slowly crank the engine - at the crankshaft - and with a finger over the plug hole feel for compression stroke. Double check yourself then using something that won't break like a brass drift or whatever works that's handy and slowly crank with that drift etc. in the plug hole watch for its movement outward to come to a stop. When it does don't be afraid to go back a half crank and then back up to verify. Once you're happy it's at its pinical your piston is at Top Dead Center -TDC. That's happy place number one. Now over to the distributor. With the cap off you should see the rotor facing where 1 is on the cap. If not there you need to raise the distributor out and rotate it so it eventually sits with the rotor facing correctly at number one on the cap. It's tricky at first because when you set the disty back in it'll kick over as the teeth of the gears mesh so you'll likely not get it first shot. Don't fret, you'll get it feel like a pro. The cap should have one and three on the passenger side and 2 and 4 on the drivers. I'm hoping you didn't damage the voltage regulator but maybe it's fine. Let us know how the timing was.

Enjoy it just as is. The configuration is the best for longevity in that it is powerful enough although laughable in comparison to anything EJ and beyond , and five speed FWD - all we need 98% of the driving we do. Especially now that it's Classic !!

Alternator check out ok? Also those old glass fuses can and Will fool you sometimes. Take them out and gently tug on each end and you might find one metal cap end has been loose. It happens. The fusible link on these cars is up front near the voltage regulator. It's fabric covered - two small wires about a couple inches or so long. Old school factory manual suggests we change out alternators and voltage regulators together.

Lots of info suggesting he is still owning in PA I'll pm you his name.

Geez I haven't had contact with him in a number of years now. If I come across his address I'll google him. I think it's New Alexandria , PA And he has the retirement place I assume it to be in SC somewhere. Golf carts rule there I remember that much. Lol

Ok I saw your block shows EA71 Note the existing large diameter hose and the air box inlet is a bit smaller diameter. 78's has round air boxes with the larger inlet that hose would fit perfectly on.

Hey I'm thinking that EA71 in the back was your original motor and somebody put the 80 in there. Does the block have EA81 on it up top up front I think? That's an EA81 air box. Both of them actually , as those small round cans only came with the 1800 - if my old brain is correct.
