Yes! I've got one on my '85...bought it from Hobart Kennedy of Kennedy
Engineered Products in Palmdale, CA.  He designed it, manufactures it and
sells it direct.  He's also the designer of the Subie conversion kits.  Most
recently, I bought an adapter from him that allows you to use a higher
quality/capicity (than stock) external oil cooler on the automatic
transmission.

Subject: Radiator Bleeder valve

I remember some years ago, some one posting that they had replaced the
bleeder screw on the radiator with some kind of stopcock, so that they could
bleed the radiator without the danger of eventually stripping the threads
(as
happened to my old radiator)  Can anyone point me to this.  I tried
searching
the archives, but could not find it.

Any help appreciated.
