It does look like it is in pretty good shape and I did get the adaptor plate and throttle linkage. So i think I am all set. I will take a picture of it this weekend and show it to you guys and you can give me some more infor

I have this Weber Carb I pulled off a 85 GL 4X4 and was wondering what the normally go for. It looks like it is in good shape. I was going to us it for my brat but wasn't sure if it would work. The 85 I pulled it off of was an OHC engine and my 83 brat is a pushrod. Any info would be great Vo

I have an 85 4x4 Turbo wagon with a bad auto tranny. Can I convert it to a 5 d/r 4x4 tranny. Need to fix car and sell it. Or is it possible to rebuild the auto tranny myself or is that to much to do??? Vo

Will give it a try, anything else I should check

I got water in my distributor cap. I got it all dried out and now my brat is acting funnyg. My question is, do you think that I will need to let things dry out or will I need to buy new cables,cap,rotor,plugs? I am thinking the water might have messed something up. I went about a mile with my car just sputtering, before I found the water. Vo:banghead:

She is only asking $600 for the car, I am hoping to get it for 400. There is a lot of interior that will need to be replaced. As for the tranny, I have a 5 speed tranny and could probably replace it. There is a little trace of smoke coming out the back, not much. She told me she had just done the tranny 3 years ago. Aslo she has replaced a lot of stuff on it, like starter, altenartor, hoses. I think it might be a good deal Thanks Victor

I went and looked at this 85 GL turbo. There is one problem with it. The lady says the Auto Tranny is out. I tried to put it in gear and all it did was kind of whinn a little. What does that mean??? It won't move at all. It almost sounds like something is not engaging. What do I need to look for to see if the tranny is truely bad?? Also I had the car running and went to pull the dip stick out to check the oil. Well, the car wanted to die. Should I be worried about this or is this normal??? The engine sounds good, but just would like to have some advice if anyone can offer it. Thanks for your help Vo

I have a lady offering me a 85 GL Turbo($600) the has a bad automatic Transmission. She thinks she was doing 70mph in 4x4 and didn't realize it. She then said she heard a spring break. Not sure what happened, this is what she said. My question is, I have a spare manual tranny that came out of a 85 GL non turbo, will I be able to make them work without to much trouble? Or will this turn out to be a bigger mess then I want to dive into? Vo I have dealt with tranny's before and know what I am somewhat doing. That is why the call us shade tree machanics~!!!!

Got me a Weber Carb, but it came out of an 85 GL wagon(EA82). My question is will it work in my 83 GL Brat(EA81)???? Vo

Thanks, for all your help

I made the mistake of pulling my Distributor out, without marking it. I am now can't find my repair manual, so i am pretty much screwed unless someone out there can help me out. Do I need to line up the markings on the fly wheel with the Distributor markings or is there another trick? MY ENGINE IS: 83 Brat Automatic 4X4 1.8. Any help or photos would be greatly appricated:confused:
