1987 GL, needs new master cylinder. The car has the hill holder, but that master cylinder is much more expensive. Will the one from a non hill holder car interchange ? Thanks in advance

Those look like the factory stock wheels. They should be easy to find in junk yards. I have a set I would give away, but you live kind of far to pick them up.

I just got my car running today. I had to replace the distributor, and I could not get the one for the car, so I had to use the one that interchanges. I set the timing firing order etc. like the chilton book told me to,. The car would not start. I came here, set everything like you guys told me, the car started the first time. Thanks again.

I just fixed the same problem a couple of months ago. Replacing the speedometer was too much work, so I just did the whole cluster, $15.00 at the local junk yard. The hardest part is putting the dash back together, they never seem to go back the way they came apart. To remount the heater controls was a real pain. If you get the exact same one you took out, everything will just plug in easily. I highly suggest replacing all of the light bulbs while you have it apart. I also did not reuse the green plastic light bulb covers, this makes the dash lights brighter and easier to see. As for the mileage, I did some research and found that it does not matter legally on a car that is more than 10 years old, Also when you sell the car, you can simply sign a statement that the speedometer does not reflect the actual mileage and you are covered. I like to tell people now that I replaced the speedometer and lost almost 100,000 miles from the car. LOL

Sounds like heater hoses to me. Pull the spare tire and look underneath.

This sounds like a ground problem. Try going to a known good ground, maybe even to the negative terminal on the battery.

It sounds like you have a bad connection or broken wire between the coil and the tach. Possibly inside the coil itself, how old and beat up is it?

On my 87 there is a green plastic cap over the light bulb. I removed them to make a brighter white light in the dash. It is now a lot easier to read at night.

that looks like the old subaru i saw in a junkyard recently.

What junkyard is 3 miles away from you? I also have a window motor in my shed that I would give away.

When i slid sideways on some ice and hit a pole at 15 mph, it destroyed the passenger door and cracked the windshield. I fixed the door myself and the insurance co. did not ask any questions, so I did not volunteer any info. It still took a year of sitting in the sun for it to crack enough to replace it.

I put a new windshield in mine last year for $125.00. The insurance paid for it.

They are 13" wheels, and about the same width as the stock wheels, but the offset seems little different. They seem to stick out from the side of the car a little more than the stock ones. I got the chrome center caps from Les Schwab in Brigham City, $6.00 each, and they had them in stock! Wheeling would be fun, but my car sits too low to do anything serious. This is my everyday work car, with just over 300,000 miles. A Subaru meet of some kind here N. Utah would be great. I have 2 of the white spoke stock wheels and 3 of the black ones if anyone needs them.

Here is a picture of my wheels. These are the Mangal wheels made in Brazil. I got them from a junkyard for $15 each, and painted them with Rustoleum high performance enamel, dark machine grey.

I dont know enough about brats to tell the difference
