nice work! I miss doing car audio, its been about 7 years since I got out of the business. I always enjoyed doing jobs like this one. Ben

I just re read the title, I am not sure about EA81 top hats, since they are two bolt... but you might get lucky. Please follow up with your findings, too many of threads like these get forgotten and the next person searching for info hits a dead end. thanks Ben

If I am taking it off to do the job and it is a wear item like a idler pulley, it will be replaced by a quality new one. I see no reason to cheap out and not spend the extra $$$ to have a little piece of mind. A shop that doesn't recommend that wear items be replaced when they are in there anyway sets off alarms in my mind. Buyer Beware! It's a free country and you can do whatever you want (within the law) but you won't want to hear the "I told you so's" after it fails and you are looking at a $3K job rather than a $50 pulley. TP

Did you try tapping on the starter with a hammer? Sometimes that will work if the contacts are on the way out.

what about a light bar with skid plate that is all under the front bumper something similar to this but for an EA82 car

IIRC they will fit but the bolt circle is larger. You will have to drill new holes.

I think I saw your wagon in Duvall today.Is it lifted with pugs now? at the light on southbound 203 and Woodinville-Duvall Rd.

what about renting a ConEx or two to ship the heavy, bulky items Ben

WOW very nice! I will probably end up doing this while my car is down for an EJ swap:headbang: Ben

Haha Pretty sure that is a Caprice wagon, the Roadmaster had the "vista roof" Those things looked like upside down bathtubs. My grandpa had one forever.

I was able to use my auto starter when i swapped to the 5mt d/r without any problems. Just the bolts are longer if you reuse the auto starter bolts but they work.

No, the engines are the same. the auto uses a flexplate, and uses shorter bolts. but the engines are interchangeable.

I recommend Sube101's headers too, I have one for my EJ swap in the garage. he does top notch work and fast turn around time:headbang: Ben

works on my wagon, no problems. go for it:burnout:

I know what you mean, I was hoping to get my swap started before the rain comes... we'll see. Just wondering how it was coming along and looking for some inspiration to get mine done/going. Ben

$50 I also have the mid pipe and rest of the exhaust for the same car. all for one price.

I have a stock Legacy (off of a 92 I think) dual port manifold complete with cat if you are interested. I can get pics in the morning if you like. Ben

Any updates?

WOW!!! that sounds/looks great!:cool:

The Momo p/n is 7303. Good luck with finding one, I got really lucky and ended up finding one on ebay Germany Ben

just make sure that you have a fused wire coming from the battery, all your factory horn wire is doing now is triggering the relay so it is not necessary to put in a larger fuse, the relay harness is carrying the main load of the circuit now. typically it only takes 250mA (1/4 amp) to trigger one of these relays. The larger fuse in the factory spot can be dangerous, the fuse size is there to protect the wiring not necessarily the light, horn, etc... looks like you got it figured out anyhow, just some thoughts. Ben

YES!!! I forgot about this when I was talking to you on saturday. I am really happy that it fits and sounds good. I have one on the engine stand in the garage:banghead: Ben

just use a standard bosch style relay these are readily available from local parts stores, I always use the bosch ones but there are other brands that do the same thing. Ben

good find!
