Picked up a 78 BRAT this week :)
Ok so now I see the picture.... And you're left without a reason for it. Lol There's an old saying - " I've already forgotten what you haven't learned yet". And it's too true. Charlie would explain it perfectly but maybe some other old head can explain without reaching for the 1980 FSM

The extra blue air box is on 1980's and some late '79s and early 81's as I recall. It is mounted on the drivers side up top of the wheel arch. Research for more proper info. I'm groggy ....

Oh yeah , no date set yet but we'll figure things out as long as the weather holds up. And yeah I'm still thinking about the sedan at r n r. I need to get up your way for some plastic from one of the Charlie cars that I think All Pro got and see Jason at the building in East Hampton. Want that plow set up?

Need space. My storage is in Milford CT off exit 35 of I-95 If you own a pre- 80's Subaru not a 360 you are welcome to stop by if we can arrange to meet there. Time is tough. Contact me thru PM or moosens at yahoo Cheers!

Goodbye to a Guru - CTSUBA **** R.I.P.
Random sales off the top of my head from Charlie's auction today: Unicorn early Impreza 2dr $675 I think - had bidders working it up, not bad expected rot spots 1.8 ran and drove onto the trailer. 2005-ish wagons looking great but needing something , one was a door trim piece , others light damage or ? All went under $650 1995-9 Legacy wagons most running from $100-$550 Motorcycles from $375 down , the top bidder got a Suzuki early-mid 60's two-stroke sweetie !! The rest were sketchy ... Good stuff picked thru months ago. All the alloy wheels from the property were sold so that meant the loss of some old classic 13" and some 14" Legacy wheels.

Ok yet another round and possibly the final real touch to Charlie. They held an auction today at his old property. Just had to post. Not sure so much why but I know there's many of us here who miss the guy. This board is thin on east coast presence as most folks here just don't link up as much as more friendly parts of the USA. But locally Charlie was truly loved. Keep it coasting , Charlie !!!! ????

Oil in my '73 1400GL's airbox
I've got a small load of those copper rings in various sizes new in original packaging but of course buried in storage. I'll do my best as I need to get things I don't need gone.

Rescued 1979 Subaru Wagon, now i need help..
It's those links on the passenger side of the carb. Has happened to me too. Glad you're all set. Take a picture of that side of the carb for reference.

One thing is check the carb butterfly - throttle for excessive play. Make sure the linkage on the passenger side of the carb is as it should be, both solenoids able to open as they should. But also sounds like the timing is off. Tough to find the mark on the flywheel but when you do get something to improve the timing marks. Sometimes poor carb set up makes us try things like having the distributor cranked way over to one side or the other but that never was the correct answer as I think you see. Pardon me if I'm off but I'm just thinking quickly of past experiences while awful tired. Good luck with it.

Damn ! We had so many opportunities to grab tags and I think maybe I have one somewhere. Not sure which model but likely a wagon. you'd likely want/need a matching dash ID plate.... That could get tricky.

Sorry I jumped in here late. Yes , nice ride and typical rust but grade - wise yours would likely be much better than ours up north etc. Before letting yourself overspend and take more time from your life than you need to , I recommend you stay put and use the computer before trekking out or ordering a car. That is unless you get a really solid one that bypasses all work you would be doing. It's your call , your budget, but just hope you don't go money pit with it. Enjoy it !!! I'll add more about parts etc later.

Fixing the shift rail o-ring leak (4mt, 4wd)
I managed to get all the seals needed to reseal these from my local dealer. If there are parts manuals online you can check any year 4wd from 75-79 and it'll be the same seals. If I can locate my receipt or my parts manual I'll post the number.
