sounds good. I flexed the car pretty seriously and the tire didnt touch. though i am going to tie it up a little higher. I'll have to look into cutting the snout off and welding a pipe on there. i have a welder but my skills are not that good.

I'm open to pointers on how to better waterproof it. this was just a quick and dirty way of getting it to work.

its a temporary way of attaching the hose to the carb air box. i have to figure out something more.. air tight. like a carb hat or something I used the hose clamps to mount it. i screwed them on with self taping screws and clamped the hosed down. I put it together in about an hr including the trip to lowes, at about 6 am before i went out wheeling.- finally built a snorkle
2.5" shop vac hose $29, 3" hole saw $16, roll of ductape $8.99, various hose clamps, free. being able to do this; priceless. I'll get a pic of how its routed and hooked up tomorrow. still need to finish water proofing it but its a good start... i think water actually went into the intake side of the snorkle lol.- best way to make a 87 gl have that new subaru sound
ea82 stock exhaust, no muffler.- Quiet Riot. My 87 GL-10
So the final stage of this build has been completed!! full stock exhaust with new gaskets from the up pipe back. new brake pads, front hoses, and a new master cylinder from a legacy. BEST BRAKES EVER. no more squishy! A new drive shaft and 2 new front axles. plus I did an oil change. Now I just need to clean it and its up for sale!.- Ea82 manual steering rack slack adjuster?
- Ea82 manual steering rack slack adjuster?
its just irritating more than anything because everything else is tight and feels like new except the dang steering. I'm going to look into the linkage in a while and make sure I didn't mess anything up there. I could have sworn i read there was a slack adjuster on these racks. i could be wrong though. I do frequent quite a few auto forums...- Ea82 manual steering rack slack adjuster?
like the title says, where is it whats it look like? I converted to a manual rack in my lifted 87 gl-10 and there is about 3-4 degrees movement in the steering wheel, the tie rod ends are good, and were recently replaced. the rack mount bushings are also in good shape. the rack itself looks like it was replaced fairly recently, I wiped it off and it looks almost new. I'm sure theres something about it in my haynes or chilton but I haven't seen either book in quite sometime. I did a search but I came up empty handed.. Thanks for the help, if it matters the rack is from an 85/86. If someone has the info floating around( which I'm sure they do). I'll see about getting it added to the USRM.- Retro GL-10 TURBO build
well great... now i have to wait around for the progress on 2 awesome build threads.... sooo epic.... the h6 thats going in that rs.. would it perhaps be getting a remote mount turbo?...- No Heat - 85 Wagon
I went through this very thing on my 85 wagon. No the rod is not threaded. I remember i spent 10 minutes trying to get it off by turning it. The whole process was a real pain. It actually splits and has a little latch that keeps it closed.. I spent the better part of an hour fighting the one on my parts car till i just broke stuff to get it out. Hopefully i saved you some time laying on your back.- Need to know if i can do this!
it should be pretty straight forward, theres a roll pin on both ends of the axle, and you may need to lower the rear diff mustache bar. you my run into problems with the axle coming off the stub shaft and the diff stub they tend to be pretty comfy where they are and not happy about moving.- What other engine can replace an EA-82/t?

come to think of it the ea81's I've had haven't had overflows.... well one did but it was a vodka bottle.- 2" lift kit issues

once the front cross member blocks are in it will ride and handle like stock. though it will hold to the road alot better with the bigger tires... plus have you ever been in a parking lot and had one of those pesky medians look at you funny? happens to me all the time.. so i just run them over. people look at you funny but its good fun. that looks like more than a 2" lift but that may just be the pics.- nos question
depends on your area though they are usually pretty cheap,the install wouldnt be that hard, might need a trans to go with it. i wouldnt go putting nos on these engines, an ea81 might hold it not sure about the ea71.- nos question
if you want more power go for an ea81, with ea82 spfi pistons delta cams and a webber carb. all in all it would be about 30 hp and cost about the same, maybe a little more. - finally built a snorkle
