points conversion
threeeyedbandit was running a msd 6-al in his wagon, we even built a rotary knob for adjustable rev limiter, instead of getting out and changing one of the set rpm crystals. i bought a pertronix kit for my car, had to return it because it didn't fit into my dizzy. thats when i stuck the electric one in out of a '81 wagon. only had one ignition problem since then, which was a bad 10 year old fuse. -mike

got a electric dizzy in my '75, now that i hear it fits, i'll soon have one in my '74. make sure you have everything facing the same direction when you install as when you removed the old one. when i hooked up the wires on mine they had to be the opposite from where they looked like they should go(color wise). hook the larger wire to the positive side(thats how mine is at least) -mike

only serious replies please
he doesn't have a home phone. i'll try his house again in the morning, maybe his wife's work(if i can find her office). he might be going through a divorce so that would put a hamper on things. i've been waiting over 8 months for my bumper, but i did say "take your time". let ya know what i come up with, after i'm done at the hospital tomorrow -mike

How to detect a broken CV boot without getting under the car...
i got it easy, open the hood and look down i noticed this doing other routine stuff(adding oil, changing air filter, something like that). usually the smell of the grease on the cat, or collector, is the dead give away the boot is split -mike

chevy in a subaru?
it doesn't seem to affect it in that way. you have more problems with breaking stuff in the rear since you've converted over to rear wheel drive(stub shafts, etc). the only issue we had in the front was hyper-extending the cv's -mike

ah, that takes me back hey matt, i think it is time to update your signature "2 down and almost a justy" -mike

Sweetness!!!
yeah, that one is definitely a brat, unless soneone did some really factory looking work to it. this is and the black one are pretty much complete, this one has plexiglass door windows. as far as the coupe goes, it is a red 79, fairly dented up, sitting almost on the ground. it would be one hell of a project, but worth it in the end -mike

brian: he has a couple of old kombi's by his barn, 2 porsche's, a 79 couirer, a datsun something, and some other junk. i hear that there is some really nifty crap in the barn jason: couldn't get to the tags on either of the gen 1 wagons, but they are '77 to '79 i guess, so a fuel door might be had for your wagon:D i'll post back once we go talk to him again -mike
