Early tech is being looked at. It may be divided into morning and afternoon. More info as it comes in.

If it is 180 degrees out it won't start or even try for that matter. Remove the number one spark plug(passenger front) and bring the engine up to compression stroke. Once you start to feel compression look to your timing marks. Place the timing mark on "0". Now find the number one wire on your distributor cap. Make sure the contact point on the rotor is pointing to theat spot. Adjust as neccessary to get it in the right spot. Wiring for the coil if it doesn't have a plug is black to hot side and yellow to the negative side. Good luck.

That's cool!

Here is the reply regarding tech and such. So, being there early will be a requirement.

Try bbs97 at hotmail.com He hasn't been on here for a while. He pops in from time to time just not frequently.

Some info from Janice D. I sent a reply asking if there would be an afternoon tech/registration similar to ORG. More info at the website she suggested and when she replies.

Check this out! I brought this post back to allow constructive converstions. If it can't be maintained without the post whoring and derogatory comments it will be gone for good! Period and end of conversation!

Sound like it may have a lifter tick and an unadjusted clutch. Get it back to the states and have the above mentioned mechanic check it out. It may just need to have the oil pump gaskets/seals replaced and have the clutch adjusted properly.

For the most part you just described any IFS rig that runs the trail. Except for the camber plates which aren't required by any of them.(including the Subaru)

To answer your question! The Nissan 280z has that type of axle shaft. I looked into using those type of axles a couple of years ago. It won't really give you more travel. It will give you a much stronger axle though! To get more travel will require changing to long travel shocks/struts. You can probably go a few degrees more but not much more. The problem arises as the tire leaves the ground and then the axle runs out to it's limits and then the tire contacts the ground again. That is when most axles break.

I sent an email to Janice regarding schedule and such. I'll add more when I hear back.

Standing in front of the car look down between the radiator and engine. You will see two, flat, black covers on either side of the front of the engine. There should be 4 10mm headed bolts that hold them down. Remove the bolts to access the belts. Beware that some of the bolts may not want to come loose. If this is the case just take a flat bladed screw driver and slip it between the covers and work them out. It will make more sense when you start to remove them.

#1 The plug on the passenger side at the front. #3 The plug on the passenger side at the rear. #2 The plug on the drivers side at the front. #4 The plug on the drivers side at the rear. This is the correct position of the cylinders.

Sounds like a timing belt. Usually if the passenger side belt goes it will still run though. Not very well but it will still fire. Pull the outer covers off to check the belts. If they are OK look for a cracked distributor cap or alot of corrosion between the spark plug wires and the distributor cap.

The gearing in '82 is unique to '82. The '83-84 wagons have low range available but slightly different gearing. The same for the Brats '83-87 and the Hatches '83-89. The newer EA82 wagons, sedans and coupes have dual range available from '85-89. Easier to find a dual range in those models from '85-87 but they were available in dual range full-time 4wd in '88-89. I may be off a year or two but others will chime in as well.

I believe it is a light green or blue box under the dash on the left side kick panel. Once you find it is states wiper relay or intermittent wiper control or something like that on the box.

I hope as many people that can make it will. If there isn't enough response to their events then they may not have them. I knew of the possibility of a July event but not a June event. I had not planned to do the school this time so it shouldn't be a problem. I'll just need to take Friday night off from work I guess.

Return PM coming your way.

Can you explain this design flaw to me?

If you want a blow type fan, I suggest that you go after market. There are many brands that offer slimline style fans that mount in the front of the radiator. I do not recommend flipping the Subaru fan.

Alan, if you want to come out here I can help you with the brakes and disty. Some hands on education maybe. Ken

You did? Back to the topic. The above linked post will give you most of your answers. I have some brochures for '85, '86 and '87. I'll try to dig 'em out and let you know the differences. I believe I put a post in the other thread with imput from the brochure also.

Looks good. Stick with the stickers! :-p Design flaw? Does the tailgate rub on the bumper when you open it?

Hey Jeremy, Those are the spots. You really only need to do one side for clearance. If you insert the LSD unit you will see where to grind. You may hit the holes without any ill-effects. The bolts will seal it up just fine. As a matter of fact the LSD case enters the holes somewhat also. Good luck.
