Then they weren't proffesional. With the oil pump, you may need to take a mallot and gently tap the edge of the pump to get it to rotate. The gasket maybe fusing the oil pump to the block. Once you have it alittle loose, just rotate and pull. The oil pump shaft fits snuggly into the block, and it is a pain to remove. Patience is key. -Brian

They obviously didnt think ahead 5 years when standard DIN sized stereo's where comming out :-\ -Brian

No, its not you. I also believe fuel milage is better. Im about to test that with a road trip to reno tomorrow. -Brian

Oh... and in order to mount it, i had to drill holes in my rear wind deflector, and bolt the hinges to that. It was either that, or drilling into the hatch and i didnt feel comfortable doing that. My method worked pretty well, and the deflector and mounts didnt have much problem holding all that wieght. One thing to consider, after installing the louvers my hatch struts were no longer able to hold the rear hatch up... with the added wieght. Also, the thing liked to rattle. It was hinged at the top and whenever i hit a bump it would kinda swing and smack into the hatch. I didnt care, as the in-car temps dropped considerably after installing the louvers. -Brian

I put the louvers from a Honda Accord on my EA81 Wagon. It fit, but the angle of the louvers werent designed for the slope of the hatch... it blocked alittle more vision that it should... but I was still able to safely view everything behind me. Here's a pic: I snagged a 2nd set from the same junkyard. I think i have them at my parents house... or maybe I took them to the dump. I got them years ago, and couldnt sell it. -Brian

Did your 78 have a LSD Russ?? -Brian

Will make a perfect wheeler!! -Brian

Yeah, if you start mouthing off or talking stupid, chances are someone will give you a negative rating and you'll lose reputation. However, if you are helpful and respectful... there's a better chance of getting positive reputation and you will get more points and more bars. If you click on the "User CP" link above, you will see a new chart for reputation points. There you can see what rating you got for which threads. Wont tell you who rated you, but it will tell you how many points you have. -Brian

hahaha... i abuse my subarus! Dont feel like doing a tranny swap when i install my lift, think i'll just stay open for now. -Brian

Briam, your inbox is full... you need to clear it out. PM me again once you do. -Brian

Didnt think of it that way mike... but im sure when its all said and done its gonna look awsome. -Brian

WOW THIS THING CAME WITH A WARRANTY!!! Thanks Jeremy, i'll remember that I think im just gonna stick with the open diff for now. After thinking about it, I can see how it will put excessive strain on either the clutch packs or the tranny... I can wait. -Brian

Mav, already ahead of you with the spray on rubber. IM gonna do under the doors and the fenders in either bed liner or the rubber. For the rims, of course I'll primer! And at least 4 coats of paint. Aerosol will do just fine, no need for roller and a gallon. -Brian

More fun than I'll know what to do with!! I cant wait. -Brian

Could it put more strain on the tranny if I install my LSD? I had to break a front CV today cause im too poor to buy a new one... so i will be runnin the Hatch in RWD mode for a while. I noticed the rear end likes to peel out alot, so I have this 3.9 LSD sitting here... and was wondering if it would be too much for the tranny if i installed it? -Brian

But white doesnt match the hatch! -Brian

Just got back from Autozone. They are able to order GCK Axles, and its $99 a piece with no core charge. Im planning on getting at least 1 on my next paycheck. -Brian

Help me find some in an aerosol can Mick and i will. If I cant, i'll just have to use some off-the-shelf red... probably from Ace. -Brian

Since I got my rims comming, i thought I would do alittle photoshop of something Ive had brewing in my head. And just as I thought, its gonna look BADASS!!! Rims should be here Saturday, im gonna go get the paint today so there's no delay. Here's the pic I came up with Giggidy Giggidy!! What do you guys think? -Brian

You still havent answered my question, but i assume your talking about the single barrel carter/weber. -Brian

I will be drilling the rims. That way I can still use my 13's as street tires for long trips. I will have a LSD and a Weber.... both of which are sitting in the garage as we speak, just waiting. And yes, the LSD has already been converted -Brian

Well, i just finalized the deal and paid for my rims!! $125 to have four Chevy Luv rims sent to me from Medford Oregon. They are identical to this style here: It will be a few weeks before I can afford the tires for them... but it will give me time to drill them and paint them. I cant wait!!! -Brian

Thats the type im getting. I gotta guy in Medford that has a set, i hope he will accept my offer. Hopefully i'll have them sooner or later. -Brian

Lets clarify wether your talking about the Weber 32/36 DGEV?? Or the stock 1bbl Carter/Weber? -Brian

Probably... or maybe its just a reaction from the increase in intake temps. Do you have an intercooler on your setup? -Brian
