We bought my son an 89 Justy as his first car. We got an imported japanese engine and swapped it out. I didn't write down where all of the vacuum line went because I assumed the chiltons would have photos. the swap went well, I had to trade intake manifolds and carb, but I guessed on about half of the vacuum lines and it doesnt start. Could someone with a carbed Justy remove their air filter housing and take a couple of well lit photos from different angles so we can get this running for him? Or direct me to somewhere on the web where a better diagram may be found. The chiltons one is worthless. Also we could use a new wiring harness for the hitachi 328 carb if anyone has a spare they would like to sell. Am also looking for the little snap latch for the pop out style rear window. Thank you in advance for your time.

I guess you learned one of the biggies when it comes to swapping motors in these cars - keep the OEM intake intact!!

If the source above doesn't help, I would recommend that you get a replacement underhood sticker (I'm assuming the original is missing). If you take your VIN# to your Subaru Dealers parts counter, they can order the correct one. Don't let them tell you they can't get it, or some other BS. The Federal Govt requires that this info is available for any vehicle that was originally equipped with emmisions devices.

Then, your task is to restore the vaccum system to the original configuration. Be prepared to but a bunch of rubber caps/screw-in plugs, etc. to eliminate any extra junk on the Japenese intake.

good luck, John

Thank you. That was exactly what I was looking for. I'm from Pasco and Ellensburg is one of my favorite places. I like to pan for gold up 97, and look for the blue along the roadcuts in the N.W. corner of the valley.

Thank you, I'm an idiot. there is a sticker up there, but I never looked at it to see what it was. When we made the swap we put our intake and carb back on. The guy at the jap engine dealership told us we'd have to. Problem was that I didn't remember where to put the lines back on mine. We pulled it a couple of months ago and only got the new one last week.
