Hatchback Lou

Did a few things for the 84 hatch over the last few days... Changed oil for engine and tranny, replaced faulty rear defrost switch and 12V outlet, aaaannd..... Swapped for a nissan 95 amp alternator!! Man, that thing is so great! Probably the easiest of the bigger upgrades. (And besides my stock altie was ready to give up the ghost.) It feels like I'm getting better spark from the plugs now too.... Just feels so much better to drive now.

My '84 was the same way, couldn't believe it. Those EA's just want to go, to hell with specifications!

Easy, come back with cash in hand. Then he'll be signing that title right quick.:cool:

Here's my first soob, an '84 hatch- bone stock except for destudded snow tires from my buddy's busted, moldy '88 GL. Went out to buy it off an old junk guy in John Day. He said it drove and he had just rebuilt the carb; he wanted $500. It ran, but didn't drive; I paid him $350. Towed it back to portland..... Replaced CV's and front wheel bearings Washed out gas tank, sea foame'd all gas lines Replaced fuel pump and filters Full valve adjustment Rebuilt Hitatchi carb Haha probably about time to replace or at least service those CV's again!

Hi all, thought I should add my first post here.... Me, a couple months ago. And Jack, the wonderdog. Super excited to gain knowledge and talk soobs with everyone. Cheers!
