BTFT: disconnected the wire for the brake fluid level sensor

wesley willis " as does my hatch. it's quite useless, unless you want your rear window wiped, of course. " what else would it do, slice cheese? "nope, the only Soobies with rear wipers were most of the wagons (all EA82 wagons) and the EA82 coupes" didn't the dl skip this option? 4-door sedan has rear wiper, '85 fsm book 2, section 6-2 p. 49-50 adjustment, etc :-p

ea81 series has a radiator ground wire from radiator to radiator support ea82 series does not have a radiator ground, but it is good to run one from thermostat housing to back side of radiator look for a hidden locking clip

coil already listed in origional post

BTDT: fix = swap distributor

easy way to remove crossover pipe is to hammer in the mounting tabs, raise front of car, remove whatever is still holding, let left side fall down, rotate, twist, slide, duck mine fell off one time for me

stone

mine is on it's third vehicle I must have gotten lucky, 8140c, had it about 3 years '85 wagon '84 brat '89 rx

so: what are the results ?? I have ideas clouding my mind

the way to remove the plug is with the snapon special socket 6mm square, pmp406a, also fits brake adjusting screws, and lash adjusters

does this involve a bellhousing from a d/r brat with fat case ea71? I'm interested in recipe NOW!

oh, sure go ahead and do it the wrong way! there is a plug you are supposed to remove to instal correctly ea81 = 1/8 NPT ea82 = 1/8 bspt this topic has been discussed quite well

do the "wd40 test" spray some wd40 onto a white paper towel, high quality like "rags in a box" then rub the paint and see if it shines up works like a charm!

this time with INDUSTRIAL ENAMEL the rust keeps spreading, stripes were rust-oleum, paint looks kinda crappy, cracking will probably keep the color scheme with gloss white body, aluminum for the gray bits, and MF red for the stripes, and a gloss black hood current paint http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=44427 paint supplier http://vansicklepaint.com/mntvsinden.html about $20 a gallon at the farm store any idea how much paint would be needed? coverage is approximately 400-450 sq. ft. per gallon

looks like someone overdid it with the black I say it needs some stripes and lettering as I am looking at the VanSickle color palate for industrial enamel

I bought my '85 wagon with h alloys for $50, similar condition http://www.cardomain.com/ride/471729/1

Historic Subaru Forum (3 Viewing) Any topic discussing Subaru models older than 1979 (1981 for Brat), or vehicle restoration techiques for any model or year Subaru. Older Generation of Subarus (16 Viewing) If your Subaru was built after 1980 but before 1990 or is a Loyale, Justy, XT or XT6 please post here. since the build is 11/79 doesn't it belong in old gen? it's an ea71 maybe there should be a category of TRANSITIONAL eras :-p

is the filter in the secondary air cleaner replacable?
