  1. Thank you so much @555jay. Between that and tracing I think I've got it figure out. Here's the digi dash pinout for anyone interested. I'm working on a table of connections that I plan to try that I will post once I've tested it.
  2. I am attempting to replace my blown digital dash in my GL-10 with an analog one I pulled from the junkyard. I have been searching for a pinout for the analog instrument cluster but haven't had any luck (links are broken). I did find a pinout for the digital dash in the FSM, which is half the battle. If anybody has this it would be greatly appreciated! Thanks
  3. It is! Good eye, yes it had a brush guard on the front, definitely looked aftermarket and wasn't really my vibe so it's off for now. I imagine it was real useful on the ranch
  4. So I spent a good amount of time fixing stuff on this with the intention of getting it ready to sell. Now that I put in the effort I don't think I can bring myself to. It is insane how much more pull it has with the Weber. Also the gas mileage improved from 20 mpg highway to 33 mpg - almost hard to believe. The old (original) windshield had a huge crack in it. I managed to get it replaced with much difficulty. It appears Safelite has bought up the remaining US supply of gaskets (WCR-417). I attempted to go through them and the service guy broke the chrome locking strip. He said there was nothing they could do and returned the car with a now non-water tight windshield. I found a local glass shop willing to do the replacement using a locking strip from 80's GM vehicles (WLS 848/853 SP). I had to plead with Safelite for days to sell me the gasket at retail - I guess this is strictly against company policy these days. I almost gave up trying to convince them to get paid for doing nothing, but thankfully they finally caved. Anyways, the local glass people were stoked on the condition under the gasket. They even sent me this nice photo! Huge shoutout to Discount Auto Glass in Portland.
  5. Fantastic, hose is gone. I've put >100 miles on with the new carburetor and it's running great. I finally have a consistent idle on this car. Since there's some interest I've changed the title and I'm turning this into a general thread for the wagon. I've had it for a year now, 3rd owner, 130,xxx miles. It's spent most of its life on a cattle ranch in Eastern Oregon, so practically no rust. A survivor for sure. Original paint. AC is installed but does not work. I had to remove the actuator when installing a new throttle cable for the Weber, but I've kept it in case I ever want to attempt reviving it. Digi-dash doesn't work but pretends to turn on every once in a while. Now that the carburetor issues are resolved, it's in great shape. It's a super fun car, and I made friends with half the neighborhood when working on it in the street. Turns out she had quite a few secret admirers If I had the resources, I'd be putting an EA82 5-speed transmission on this. The current one is alright, but kicks out of 3rd if you're not careful. My understanding is this is the standard for these 4 speeds. Unfortunately, once I get everything fixed on this I probably have to sell it. The late-pandemic financial situation is growing increasingly worse, and this is not my only old car. I'm going to try to hold on to it if I can though!
  6. Long time lurker here. I've got an '83 GL wagon that I just Weberized. Pretty new to carburetor work but it seems to have gone well. I have one remaining question. The Hitachi's air cleaner had a hot air intake. Now that its gone, I am not sure what to do with the hose that led to it. Cap it? Route it somewhere else? I could not find a mention of it in the various Hitcahi -> Weber threads. Thanks!
