Dead Alt?
if indeed it is the alt you could get a 80 amp alt for probally like 50 bucks or something new.it wont be subaru instead it will a GM alt,found on just about every 80's gm.you just need to file 1/16" from the soft aluminum mounting tabs... plus if you get stranded somewhere just grab a gm alt from any parts store at any time,try that with hitachi...

ASV system elimination?
the inserts that you punch the nickle in,those are your new plugs.just so that we are clear.the inserts are the threaded things that you need a 1 1/8" wrench to get off.if you punched the nickles in far enough it will be pretty leakproof.

Snorkel Project!!!!!!!!!
is it possible to relocate the intake to where the hole is closer to the a pillar?Just a tube from airbox to up near the windshield then punch through fender?I dunno it just kinda looks weird when theres alot of length before the a pillar.still looks sweet.paint the grey with white so it matches then the 3/8 fuel tubing arounf the hole to give it a professional touch.

3mpg (or more) from a roof rack?
so then how much mpg does a lightbar and four rectangular off-road lights on the roof eat up?Does a 102" whip subtract any?

ASV system elimination?
step one: cut the asv tubes near the exhuast manifold,as close as you dare with a sawsall Step two:remove threaded inserts from exhausr manifold Step three: remove tubing you cut step four: find two nickels step 5: use a punch and a hammer to punch nickle into opening in insert step 6:install your new plugs the cheapest by far. only costs 10 cents as opposed to 50.and welding even if you do it you still have gas and wire that needs to be bought....

Finally Finished with my lift! **With Wheels!!!**
those blocks are useless if you *bump and grind* over an object.you will fold up your skidplate and/or rip the skidplate mounts out of the body.

Weber Woes
I have a Weber 32/36.I have two problems:The bolt for the throttle cable somehow got crossthreaded.If I try to take it off,one side of the nut unscrews while the other side tightens.How do I remove it without messing up the threads on the shaft?The second problem is the secondary fuel jet is not delivering fuel.I can get both barrels to open up and dang the motor sounds mean,but there is a horribible flat spot.No upper mid to high rpm power.How can I fix that?Carb is junkyard.I cleaned out the float chamber but didnt know what I was doing otherwise.please help.

How can I make sure a motor I got to replace the one in my brat is at TDC?I got the motor with no flywheel,no disty,and no alternator,and no carb.I have a weber and the alt of my brat but I need the motor at TDC before I can install the disty.so how do I do it?

Interesting Hatch.....
you can get alot of power from subi motors and dont hatches have front handbrake?just plain silly.Why not put a supercharged chevy 454 with nitrous in a hatch? oh god,how fast would that be if you could fit it into the engine bay,much less hook up and go...

FWD as complex as it seems is actually more effeicent than RWD due to less weight.
