>>My Kennedy petcock is in.  Job was not straight forward as there is some
piece of metal at least on my '84 that did not give enough clearance to get
the unit in and have the 8 mm bolt straight enough to go into the radiator
w/o damaging the threads.  I had to work on the offending metal with saber
saw, vise-grips and a Dremel tool to get it so that I could get the bolt
in<<

IIRC someone on the subaru list wrote that they took out the mounting bolts
and dropped the radiator a few inches to get the kennedy petcock in.

Wishing I had a dash mounted coolant pressure gauge...
