Redcap

I have seen the 2pc Redline adapters and am not a fan of the design. A friend told me about this particular adapter on the Jeg's website and I was wondering if it would be close enough to graft a 32/26 onto my EA82? The manifold flange is Datsun 1600/1800 style. It looks to be a much better design than the Redline style. http://www.jegs.com/i/Trans+Dapt/969/2107/10002/-1

Yes.

It is a lot cheaper to do a clutch kit yourself...

My clock has died too. I'm simply going to put gauges in the the hole.

Not quite that high, but it wasn't far off. Swapped the outboard alt for the inboard and deleted the AC at the same time. New alt seems to be functioning just fine.

My red wagon is showing some interesting charging idiosyncrasies. Sometimes, it will act normally and others the voltmeter will bounce a little, then climb sharply depending on RPM. I am replacing the alt today with a known good one, but was wondering if there was anything else I should consider as the culprit to the problem?

Nice. I like it! If my Soob gives me any electrical grief, that is what will happen to it.

Nylocks. The driver's seat in my red wagon is a Legacy seat. Took about 30 minutes of my time to prepare and mount it to the EA82 seat bracket, including threading the spacer, the mounts on the Legacy seat and drinking a couple beers. Just drilling, no welding or cutting required.

No, they don't.

Got a good farm store or a industrial specialty shop around? Often they will have a bin of rollpins.

Sawzall for removal. Plumber's tape and lots of screws for re-attachment.

Nope. It's Uncle Charlie!

Thanks lostinthe202 and GD! Towing it back will be no problem next week, I have a friend with a car dolly. Driving it would be problematic, since there is no straight shot with minimal shifting; it is a lot of rural roads in between the Coupe's current resting place and home. Not a big deal, though...it spurred me into working on the red wagon a bit today. Seafoam took care of the TOD, new plugs made it run a lot better. Seems to be quite road-worthy, although it needs new boots on both front axles.

Clutch cable is a new one from a Subaru dealer. New as in less than 6 months old. The pedal feels the same at a similar level of adjustment, firmer now that I adjusted the cone nut in quite a bit. It feels normal, no release. The cable does move the fork. Checked the pedal end as best I could without removing the seat (I'm not exactly a svelte guy), but everything looked to be in order from what parts I could see. I have been running through scenarios in my mind and I think it has to be the fork. Bent, cracked or come free of the throwout bearing. I managed to get a ride home and a friend of mine with a tractor hauled the coupe back to his place. Another question, slightly related. How far can a EA82 be flat-towed?

It will shift with the car off just fine. No bad, interesting or unusual noises either. I have limited access to a computer and the one I can use has a mighty 28.8k modem, so a bunch of searching is sort of out of the question. On the (slight) upside, there is plenty of room in the back of a coupe for sleeping with the seats folded down.

The clutch in my Coupe has decided to quit releasing. I tried running the adjusting nut further in, but it seemed to only make the problem worse. Any ideas? I'm not at home, have a limited selection of tools available and no good place to work on it (muddy yard). Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Don't think so...this one is a '85 D/R M/T. Shifts a lot better than the Coupe, too. Twitch, they have their moments of fun. Watching them in the evening around sundown is hilarious. Finding orange curls of uncovered cat turds in the yard with my bare feet makes me rage. And working on something is a nightmare with the little demons...they are perpetually knocking my tools over or climbing on me or trying to look at what I'm doing and being directly in the way. I don't mind cats, but these two are just dumb. Pretty, but dumb.

I think I'll leave Red as my around-town kid-hauler. I've got the Coupe for character. And that kitten (there are actually 2 identical ones) that everyone loves so much is a complete pain in the rump roast.

Great timing! I'll be undertaking the same project soon.

Haven't been around much due to school and other constraints... However, this week I expanded my Soob fleet (to 2) with the addition of a '85 wagon! Runs, drives and looks pretty decent for $400! It has the TOD, but I picked up a can of Seafoam and will dose it up either today or tomorrow.

Since I live in a non-emissions county, I always gut my catalytic perverters with a piece of pipe and a hammer.

You guys rock. I got my Soob back on the road over this weekend and the camber seems to have settled out almost to normal. There is still a little bit of tip-out at the very top of the tire, but not much more than a couple of Subarus I saw at Walmart yesterday. Thanks again for putting up with my noob-ish tendencies.

I tossed a new stereo into my Soob. One of these...

Probably need a shorter filter element.

Very nice build!
