  1. gen2 body style wagon 4spd s/r 4wd top starter ea71 with serial # 30xxx built 11/79 looking for clutch that has more holding power to better withstand the loads of pulling a trailer, driving in mud, and going uphill without slipping the clutch the clutch in currently acts somewhat like a snowmobile clutch... when 2, 3, or 4, apply throttle, rpm shoots up, then mph will increase while going uphill or not being careful with throttle what are my options??? ceramic??
  2. they probably won't do much if they look like swiss cheese I still haven't mounted the old style stop sign, probably due to it being a collector's item antique
  3. the computer is not necessary unplug and drive see how it does
  4. curb weight of gen2 ranges 2020-2310 curb weight of gen3 ranges 2220-2880
  5. perhaps you can use a shim adjusting system such as on the VW 4cyl engines, 1.5 1.6 diesel 1.9 gas they use a true overhead cam sytstem, no rocker levers edit: 2k post
  6. as if you read my mind
  7. "My modified oiling system includes the deletion of the HVLA's with solid adjustable units." what is your plan and recipe for doing that? will you be using an oil cooler?
  8. what year did the red 4wd knob come standard?? I like the OLD school style ROUND knobs much better I have a set, both 4spd and 5spd what's the momentary push button for?
  9. focus on sustaining oil PRESSURE while increasing volume the hlas will thank you or complain
  10. and I have the factory accessory chrome hitch
  11. seems to me that all you would have had to do is: loop over the heater hose, refill rad, and replace the t-belts on the side of the road, after all, it's a subaru and be sure to have a set of coveralls just in case I advise you to reuse the intake, carb, and air box from the ea82
  12. it is a little more interesting when the "weak point" is the slipping clutch after that, it is the hills, especially with ea71 BTW: what is the towing capacity of a gen 2 4wd s/r ea71 wagon?
  13. if'n you find something to do......... I once bought a blue subaru wagon on ebay for $1 from a seller in chadron, but he never came through on the deal could you possibly rattle his cage for me? for the state parks... do you need a trail permit, and a wood collecting permit?
  14. ethanol is your friend, especially in the winter e-10 e-50 e-85 adjust your idle screw leave the cell phone charger plugged in
  15. any codes?? timing is on front of engine, not flywheel
  16. I try to make it every year '79 ski wagon
  17. your options are quite limited for the under hood pump as to the on the special bracket by the wheel pump, you have more options snag one off another subaru in the j/y OR buy a FACET cube
  18. good to see naked belt setup I also saw many parts that can be thrown away!
  19. USE A BIGGER HAMMER or zzz or I had to use a BIG hammer to remove drums before try knocking IN, ON, the drum which may spook the cone washer enough to scare it off it's seat
  20. clutch cable stretched o2 sensor cts
  21. water choke can be problematic electric is either off or on manual with a locking cable, when set correctly will act as a throttle to increase engine speed, and after pulled more, will engage the choke especially useful for when stopped,, and need to hold rpm above idle, just pull it out and it stays morning warmup: it idles fine until slightly warmed up where it decides to idle around 500 pull the cable, and set it for 2k, all is good
