What a mess! At this point I sat down and made myself read through the emissions chapter in my Gregories subie manual.
Most of it went over the top of my head, but I tried to work it out. Took the below pics so that if worse came the worse I
could try to put it all back together with the original hitachi carb. And then I started pulling. Dont need that vacuum valve
and dont need the thermal vacuum valve, so pulled them. After carefully pulling there was only one plastic T-piece and three steel
lines that needed to be plugged. One steel line to the left of the dizzy vac advance line, one line that is connected to the dizzy line
that was the left side vac port at the front of the hitachi carb, and the third line that was plugged went into the right side at the front
of the hitachi. I hope that makes sense.. Connected the vacuum advance on the weber to the closest vacuum port outlet/inlet/boss
on the intake manifold just to the left of the carby. All four pics were taken before pulling anything (those exposed were to the air cleaner)
The secondary fuel line was plugged with a bolt - tempory



Semi-automatic choke from my old '83 sube wagon which I'll play with sometime.
Problem is that the choke plates operate in a backwards method if ya ask me. The choke plates need to be pushed to close (choke on).
To me, it should be 'pull' to close the plates (choke on), push to open the plates (choke off).



This is a perfect example why I hate throwing anything out. You can always find uses for something.
This is the high pressure line from my Nissan Patrol ute air-conditioning that I blew a hole in from
engine vibration in December 2005. Got it replaced and was gonna chuck it, but coz a second hand one
cost over $100.00, decided to throw it into a junk box just for the heck of it, may come in use sometime.
I was contemplating going down the street and buying some hose and connecting bits for the PCV hoses but
Whilst looking for something else, saw this laying in the junk box, and had a quick silly idea. Grabbed it,
gave it a quick measure up and wadd'ya know, it would fit length wise ok. Measured the aluminium pipes and
yep, she's gonna fit between the two PCV ends of both sides of the engine. Cut the ends of the aluminium bit
off, connected it up, removed the air conditioning filler-up valve bit, connected this to another fuel filter
and job done. SWEET!. Can see it clearly running beneath the tyre holder. Air filter connected to the air
conditioning line was connected after piccy taken



Bits that came with the carby that I didn't use. I tried using the hose connection fitting (below left in pic) but
my poor method kinda leaked, so I pulled it out and went looking for a substitue bolt. I couldn't believe my luck that I
found a metric plug that had the exact same thread size that came out of my intercooler kit that I installed in Dec 05 on
my other ute. It fitted perfectly, worked beautifillu and I just couldn't have been any more stoked about finding it. Saved a trip to the shop!


All the original subaru bits that I removed. Carby, air filter unit, vacuum lines.

Side shot from Aussie driver side / US passenger side. Needed to add
a small tensioned spring to the secondary plate to close nicely.

Hopeless picture of my choke lever. A bit rough, but works very well.



At this stage I was up to around the 3 hours on the Thursday night, 2 hours
of just staring and poking on the friday night (really didn't do anything,
but read the emmisions chapter), and about two hours on the
saturday morning by finishing off the half-round acceleration cable linkage
adapter plate, pulling/extending/re-mounting the accel cable mount, pulling
all lines and trial-error experimenting fixing up the rest, vapour line to
the charcoal canister and bending the steel line near the strut a little to
make it strecth just a little bit more, connecting the fuel line, plugging
the water line in the adapter plate and checking everything once more.
Adjusted the accelerator cable to what I thought would be kind of ok.
...So about 5 hours all up - a lot of buggerising around in that time.
If I was to do it again, I reckon no more than two hours including some
mucking around time which includes all the fiddly stuff that happens only to
you and noone else when ya do these sort of mods. A nice example of this
would be something like stripping a nut on a stud pulling the old carb off...

Time to start it up and see what happenes! After turning it over for about
5 to 7 seconds she fired up! Un-believable! And it sat there idling. I couldn't
believe it. Went for a quick but slow reverse and forwards and all seemed to be
running fine. Then decided to go for a proper drive. All seemed good. Time to
get serious, and up a slight hill it pulled away in every gear all the way to
100kph (65 mph or whatever it is). Time to get real serious, 0 to 100 in 14
seconds by looking at the clock which is a hell of a lot better than what it
used to be. May have even been 13 seconds. Too hard to really check when your
doing it yourself off the subey dash clock, but it was certainly a max of 14
seconds. Back home, quick check of everything, then a 50 kilometre return drive
to the next town and back. Fuel guage moved just a fraction whereas the hitachi
would have drank over 1/8 of the tank. All sweet. I'm happy.
