Flowmastered87GL Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 personally I wouldn't hack up the front of the car to install a 3rd eye. They are better suited to wheelers in my opinion. You really shouldn't be using them during daily driving anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
True2Blue Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 I wouldn't blame you for replacing the radio. Just do a nice job and use something like the Dual XR4110 that I and a few other's have used. It's worth it to do that but do it RIGHT. No hack job crap. GD NO never buy dual thats like buying a mighty max what would seriously match is a marine alpine ipod deck its white also come in off white Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 It fits the EA81 console without any ugly adaptors. That's why we use them. It sounds fine for my purposes. GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
True2Blue Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 if you cant get a stereo shimmed you probably shouldn't be doing any kind of "deck swap". dual is GARBAGE no offense GD you get what you pay for with most things dual is a walmart brand......... their electronics are... i wont buy anything from there ill put it that way keep in mind his age too marine decks are cheap too im about quality for sure i dont know about you 92_rugby_subie ignore me if you dont really care Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doobieryan Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 Im with Ben on this one, i think you should make a mobber out of it! But what do i know, Im just a dumb redneck that buys dual stereo equipment (which i think works great by the way lol). Whatever you do with it just have fun. That's my motto Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's my mottoRyan some dont strive for quality. if all you know quick fixes or cheap buys then that "works great" is your settlement. ive never seen a kid that is into cars not be into stereo equipment thats all ive been through some brands i know bang for buck and i know whats quality. one good reason to own a dual stereo is: no one will steal it saves you a window and plastic trim (amateurs fracture the ************ out of the consoles) i wasnt tryin to step on anyone's toes and ive never seen a redneck with a dual deck... its usually the folk that only speak Spanish Edited October 2, 2010 by True2Blue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

92_rugby_subie Posted October 2, 2010 Author Share Posted October 2, 2010 Gonna fix mechanical first... PO said it needed an axle, GD said he had one, so hope he still does. Want tach to be accurate, any ideas? Backup light bulb was there, just wasnt installed, so I did that, you know, the first thing you replace thats simple but makes you feel like you accomplished alot, yea, that was it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

92_rugby_subie Posted October 2, 2010 Author Share Posted October 2, 2010 Summit They guy said there was a button that you pushed for 4, 6, and 8 cylinders, but apparently made no sense to him... I just wanna know how to pull it off and adjust it so it is right lol. I dont NEED it lol, I shift by noise lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
True2Blue Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 (edited) 1. To get to the cylinder dip switches you have to remove rear cup by placing the tachometer face down on. A phillips screw retains the cup so remove that screw located on the back. Gently lift the cup off to expose the circuit boards. Careful not to pull on the wires. 2. Locate the dips switches on the circuit board. Move each of the two switches to the proper cylinder selection according to the diagram illustration on the right. 4 Cyl. - Both switches down 6 Cyl. - Switch #1 down. Switch #2 up 8 Cyl.- Both switches up 3. Replace the cup back onto the tach with mounting bracket located at the bottom while making sure the wires are clear of the screw hole, then reinstall the screw.

92_rugby_subie Posted October 2, 2010 Author Share Posted October 2, 2010 Its wired in... So I shouldnt have to mess with that right? It moves up and down, but today I drove up (first time bringing home) and I let the neighborhood know I was there, probably 4500-5000 rpms and it showed me at 11 (X1000) rpms and I was like, yea, no.

92_rugby_subie Posted October 2, 2010 Author Share Posted October 2, 2010 I shall how hard will it be to get to that part of the instrument cluster? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
True2Blue Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 dont quote me but i believe there are two phillips screws on the upper inside lip of the cluster housing once youve pulled the plastic then the cluster will be open exposing its mounting points i believe its 4 screws and your golden there may be more i may be wrong but youll know in a few hours for sure.. i took a dash like that apart this year but it was at a JY and i didnt plan on slappin it back together so i didnt bother to remember anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
92_rugby_subie Posted October 2, 2010 Author Share Posted October 2, 2010 How do I pull that plastic (just for referring to this tomorrow when Im pulling it apart, I dont mess anything up) This car will probably be at WCSS13 looking very clean, so screwing stuff up isnt really an option for me... Which is why I hammer the experts as yourself for your advice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
True2Blue Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 (edited) i am no expert (yet) the two upper screws come out then its willpull down the bottom of the plastic has little tabs that keep it in place to top will come down then it will pull right out ill do some searching to make sure im correct. you will know if thats not how it goes Edited October 2, 2010 by True2Blue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flowmastered87GL Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 These cars pretty much predate hidden breakable clips. take out any screws you can see. Now take out any you cant see If the surround still doesn't come off keep taking out screws that look like they may hold it. Some may be hidden in seams where the dash meets (at least on EA82's some were hidden) You may need a short screwdriver as you may need to get to the ones up above the gauges (the blade of the screwdriver will be pointing up to the sky and the handle will be hitting the steering column probably) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
92_rugby_subie Posted October 2, 2010 Author Share Posted October 2, 2010 Update for today (so far) -Just washed it... white pretty much washed off... not all the way, but rag kept swiping across white and the water was a mucky gray when it came off? -Sister wanted to drive it... Parked at an angle facing the street (front end lower than back end) it started, but didnt stay running once gas pedal was depressed. Carb issue? -No update on Tach as of 3:25pm here (Oregon) since its sitting in the sun to dry, then I will pull it in the driveway and get to work on that Tach Questions: What size tire can I go up to? Theyre 13s, but Ive got 155s on there, it feels like a bicycle lol. Maybe 185? 195? Can I put power steering on this? I like the arm workout... but well, its a pain.
