1980 BRAT

[1980 BRAT - VACUUM HOSE DIAGRAM?]

LOOKING FOR A DIAGRAM OF ALL THE VAC LINES ON 1980 BRAT. ANY HELP WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED!!

[1980 BRAT -> IDLING ISSUE]

Any chance you would do a buddy a favor and send back a pic showing all these vacuum points to check?

[1980 BRAT -> IDLING ISSUE]

My research seems to indicate that i should check for vacuum leaks in the hoses, PCV valve, vapor canister, etc. as the culprit for my brat dying when it idles or shifts into neutral. WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK??

[1980 BRAT -> ***IDLING ISSUE*&*OIL RECOMMENDATION***]

1980 BRAT - FACTORY ORIGINAL, RUNS GREAT, NO MECHANICAL PROBLEMS

 

Carb recently rebuilt and the little pump thing replaced as well. Tuned up and oil changed. New fuel filter. Fresh quality fuel. New battery.

 

PROBLEM -> Dies at idle when you take your foot off the gas. If i'm going at faster speeds and drop it into neutral to coast to a stop, it will die before it gets there.

 

OIL -> Can anyone tell me the recommended oil for this vehicle?

 

Thank you,

Andrew

 

[1980 BRAT - LIFT KIT OPTIONS AND PROS/CONS]

I am new to Subaru. I bought a 1980 brat in excellent original condition.

I would like to know what kind of lift kit i can put on it without compromising the driveability for street use.

I just want my brat to look like a cool truck.

 

Thanks!

Andrew
