Engine and Trans Stands
Take two saw horses and a 4x4 sheet of plywood or sheating, clamp the wood to the saw horses with 2 or 4 c clamps. you now have a great assembly, sit your but on a stool and work away. When you are finished take the table down. I assembled a 1.6 engine this way and it beats standing for an OLD man. Jack

Thoughts on Imprezas?
texasjack replied to Urban Coyote's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXI drove a 2012 Impreza prior to purchasing a 2012 Kia Optima. The Impreza was very rough riding and the interior was as out of date and dull as an old Ford Taurus. The CVT is a joke, it remimded me of a Honda motorscooter I used to have. I have been a Subie fan for many years!! In the process of restoring an 83 GL and an 86 Brat to play with. Jack

Fuel Pump Relay 83 GL

2012 Subie With 1950 Buick Tranny
Recently I drove a 2012 Legacy Sedan with the slip-o-matic tranny. They ruined a great car with that thing. I reminded me of a 1950 Buick Dynaflow tranny. You push the gas and it sits still, push more and the engine revs, more pressure and it starts to move. As it gains speed the engine is going 70 but the car is running 50. All that RPM is wasting fuel. In the Ft. Worth area a standard is a pain. I really enjoy my 2012 Kia Optima. My intent was to but a new Subie but not with that gutless tranny. Jack

Plug EGR Valve Vacuum? EA82
I installed a 2 barrel manifold on my EA81 engine with a Weber. I removed and caped the small line and removed and used a 4 inch piece of 1/2 inch heater hose plugged to kill the large line. Texasjack

Will a 4 WD Distributor work in a 2 WD Car
This car was set up for high altitude operation, so I am going to make my own primary system and eliminate the high altitude stuff. I will run a lead from the hot terminal from the switch to a ballast resistor, then to the plus side of the coil. Next run a lead from the start terminal to the positive side of the coil. Then run the orange lead from the negative side of the coil to the distributor Connect the black lead from the positive side of the coil to the black lead going to the distributor. That will eliminate the Jap crap in the entire system. Jack Jack

Will a 4 WD Distributor work in a 2 WD Car
Thanks Y.all for the advise. The aftermarket coil was on the car when I purchased it. I have a coil marked ND and in the morning I will hook it up and see how it runs. I have a distributor coming from Ok. Jack
