July 8, 201213 yr I've seen the same problem when assembling parts from my junk pile the adjuster bracket varied depending on AC version installed, Factory vs. Dealer, etc... you'll just have to find a bracket that will work better... or a spacer
July 8, 201213 yr I made a spacer for my 82, it worked fine. I also strengthened that bracket, as I found it weak. I added another brace that went back to the intake.
July 8, 201213 yr Author And it roars to life! I got the Alt all figured out and shiz. Runs pretty good so far.
July 9, 201213 yr Author PCV port works perfect! Has a light suction. Alt with spacer and Stainless Hardware. Dunno if I have this stuff hooked up right? Two are capped off, the 1/4" line on top is running right to a port on the intake, and then on of the tubes connects to the vent line from the tank. Tank hasn't exploded yet, so it must be working? Not bad for $15 a pair. I want to put HIDs for the low beams, and 100w Halogen High-beams!
July 9, 201213 yr Author Thank you for the comment my friend! Does anyone know where I can buy mandrel bent 90s in a 1-7/8" for my header build? Looks like the parts store only has the ribbed kind.
July 9, 201213 yr Thank you for the comment my friend! Does anyone know where I can buy mandrel bent 90s in a 1-7/8" for my header build? Looks like the parts store only has the ribbed kind. here is a good online source for mandrel bends... I think there is a forum member that works here. Columbia River Mandrel Bending Ben
July 9, 201213 yr Dunno if you have napa around your area, but they sell mandrel bends. They also sell 2-1 collectors.
July 9, 201213 yr Author Thanks for the link, that helps! Yeah I have a napa down the road actually, cool.
July 10, 201213 yr Author Double flared the brake lines which will be leading out of the chassis. I have to make a length which will run down to the trailing arm, then connect to the soft line which runs to the Caliper. This is a High-quality double flaring tool from Eastwood Tools, which I am borrowing from Jboy.
July 11, 201213 yr This is a High-quality double flaring tool from Eastwood Tools, which I am borrowing from Jboy. OOooooo - me want one! $250 worth of high quality tool! but dang, I bet it is ridiculously easy to use!
July 11, 201213 yr Author Are you talking about the union? That just joins both lines together. The line is 3/16" with a 45* seat. The fittings are 3/16"x10mm.
July 12, 201213 yr Author So I've been in contact with Phil, the guy I bought the car from! He is pretty surprised how far I've taken this car (Dude probably thought he'd never hear about this car ever again after I bought it, let alone see it getting restored) Phil has the original Key box and jack which he is gonna drop off sometime, The key box is really cool! MilesFox has one he found at a junkyard years ago. Phil also said he has another key for the car, maybe its a factory Subaru key and not an SR5!
July 12, 201213 yr Author This is a cool thread. Vortex, with MX5 fronts and coilovers in the rear! http://www.ausubaru.com/forum/showthread.php?t=20236
July 12, 201213 yr Phil has the original Key box and jack which he is gonna drop off sometime, The key box is really cool! MilesFox has one he found at a junkyard years ago. I actually have one of these, it came out of an ea82 I had that still had the original window sticker and all. The key isn't correct, but I have the key chain to go with it!
July 12, 201213 yr Author Wow! Yeah, the key that should have been with that would have an LED in it. Big square plastic head. Thats cool though and so is that keychain!
July 12, 201213 yr Author Alas! I got the insulated female spades today. Choke wire complete. I removed the Charcoal canister, I just need to figure out what to do with the tank vent line, but I have a slight idea. Finished brake lines. Still need the soft line and need to make hardlines for each caliper. A better picture of this $250 helper. Dies Eastwood.
July 12, 201213 yr Author So just for topic, I keep going back and forth with the idea of going with the Trashwagon paint scheme on this car just because its easy and looks good. I can make it look great as I did the Legacy, I just dunno if I want to spend the time and money of re-shooting it in white and getting the decal remade, I don't know where I'll get the decal made anyhow, or what it will cost. Who will flame me if I were to paint this car like I did the Legacy?
