Just had a few random questions - 1) I swapped in a 5speed d/r into the hatch and now it seems to be leaking trans fluid from somewhere near the back, possibly where the driveline enters the trans. I think there's a seal there, but is it hard to replace? I don't have access to a later FSM, so was wondering. 2) I also need to replace the disty in the said hatch and have pulled one from a similar year wagon. Both are 4wd and it seems when I ordered a disty cap, they said the difference between the nippon denso and hitachi disty's were in the 2wd/4wd configurations. Yes? No? Thats it for now. Thanks.

That hood lever is nice. So those mounts were already there?

Time is getting short. Hopefully the winters are warm down there. The FF1 is looking great!! I still want to get down that way and check it out in person again.

The laws seem to be the same in Nevada as in Minnesota. It is perfectly legal to run without doors, as long as the mirrors are intact. Shameless Plug on the doors:

Mine's kinda doing that same thing. Not as much, but it's got a tick. I can hear something in the disty making a noise as well. The wiring is ok, and I replaced the cap and rotor.

There wasn't any way to tell them that it was a mistake and that the truck you wanted to bid on was different from the one you ended up with? Otherwise, thats cool. Build it and wheel it!

I was going to mention that. Do you have any ea82T axles in there? Are there differences there as well? I know the splines changed from 23 to 25. There's a few other differences as well I believe in the ea81 axles as well. Some say there's a ea81 FWD sedan axle that has the 23 spline? Is that right?

So I picked up another new toy last week. I was planning on using it for parts, but I think I'll drive it for a while and see. Details: 1976 Scout II IH 345 V8 engine TF727 Auto trans Sprung over w/ bald 35" swampers The bad news is that it's open/open and has 3.54 gears. = poop. I'm trying decide if I want to re-gear and lock the dana 44's that are in it, or save my money to buy the front d60 I need for the yellow scout. My original plan was to use the 345 and the 727 trans from this one and swap it into the yellow one and then sell the sprung over dana 44's for extra money for the new axle. But we'll see, i should wheel it a bit to get used to how its going to be.

Thanks for all the help. I just got home, drove the hatch with the 5 speed from Sacramento to Reno (130 Miles) without trouble. Now I get to see if I can take that other pressure plate back.

Yup. I am also out this year. Too many other things going on this year...

I think I'm also out. Oh well.

I can see a bunch of random wires near your shifter Rob! Here's mine:

No WOW option?

Dangit! Sounds exactly what mine is doing.

I think she was joking. But yeah I doubt that.

I don't think Jenna is making it this year. Oh well. I might have a new plan as well, there might be some car parts I need to pick up in Seattle, so I might need to formulate a plan on getting them back down here. I will talk with you tomorrow Jeremy on that.

hey did you get my driveline shipped out yet? I'm in need bad.

I don't know if he's going to go. He just got a new purple impreza (1993) and might make it.

Hey sorry Jerry, I sent out payment a few days ago. I had to wait til I got paid before I could send payment. I figured you could get working on it while til I got money. Thanks Brian for letting me know, I don't get around much any more.

Yeah thats an ea82. Yes a ej22 would work, but there's quite a bit of work needed to be done. there is a thread at the top of this section of the forum that has all the info you need to get started.

what are your plans for getting up there and back Jeremy? I might hitch a ride with you and split gas money with you. If thats ok of course.

Beaverton? He's not in Eugene anymore? If I DO happen to stop by, I will be doing a lot more than asking for anything... I haven't had any communication in about the same amount of time.

Its too bad, They crushed those 2 sedans with those good bumpers here.

well, I just registered, so I guess I ahve to go. Unless something else comes up.
