Re: Building a modded FI 140 for my Wagon
That looks great. Are you going to do a turn down like the factory setup?

Re: Building a modded FI 140 for my Wagon
I am still waiting to do a full mock up on mine but I had the compressor mounted and I do not have much room to go up. I got a second fill tube to modify if needed. I will be interested to see what your mock up looks like. Have you decided on a condenser size and placement? I am still on the fence a...

Re: Building a modded FI 140 for my Wagon
Tom, make sure the oil is drained when you pull the filler/dipstick tube. I got in a hurry on my last engine pull and forgot. What a mess. They at least made it easy to pull with just one bolt holding it in. Any plan to run AC in the wagon? If so you may need to notch the tube for just a tiny bit of...

Re: Automatic transmission
The rescue tape fix works vey well. I repaired the cable in my wagon 7 years ago and it is still dry as a bone.

Re: Lakewood vs Wagon interchangeability
The one in my 62 is not original to the car but it came out of another 62 wagon according to Jeff at the ranch. It is smooth like the one pictured. Maybe a 62 owner with a more complete known car will chime in. Has anyone ever seen an original rubber rear cargo floor mat? They are listed in the part...

Re: Lakewood vs Wagon interchangeability
I just looked but I do not have a good close up picture, maybe a 61 owner will post a picture for us. It alway struck me as such a strange and unnecessary thing to change. 61s have it on the three engine are covers as well as the panel over the heater and the back of the fold down rear seat. 62 are ...

Re: Lakewood vs Wagon interchangeability
I will add to what Tom said. The biggest thing is the master cylinder setup. 61s have the under dash setup shared with 60s and the 62s have the later style. The rear engine covers are the same sizes but 62 dropped the cool check pattern that 61s have. 61s have different cooling cutouts in the engine...

It did come with a film strip and a written reference, I just don’t have them.

34 and have been into Vairs sense I was 18. Can't imagine that will change any time soon.
