Dwayne, Thank you for the update with the link, part number and for responding! That is the part I was looking for. I'm book marking the site for future reference. I feel good about the two parts I made, they were a huge improvement over what was installed and the nut stayed on the spindle, but I'm going to get two of them.

Yep, they go on those two bolts that hold the fuel rails on the intake. Cheers Bennie

Under the fuel rail mount tabs going to the intake. Highlighted below.

Hi Everyone, I bought a 1992 Loyale several weeks back, five speed, four-wheel-drive. 170 2000 miles. I’ve had so many cars.., several air-cooled VWs, BMW 1600 / 2002s, Porsche 912, Alfas, and previously a couple of Subaru Outbacks. My wife has a Forester. I really love this thing - it feels so balanced with more road feel than the newer Subarus that I’ve owned and driven - it’s very fun to drive. I live in Northern Wa., and for now this my daily driver -110 miles 5 days per week - once this pandemic is over I’ll shuttle. my commute and keep the mileage down..this one is a keeper. I enjoy working on cars. and am looking forward to learning and contributing. I’ll add photos soon. I like the design of this car a lot! Best, Chris

Measure the voltage twice: - First, at the +ve battery-post - Then again at the starter-motor terminal (where the large wire is connected). There shouldn't be much of a voltage diffetence between these 2 readings.

**Happier update! ** Well, it looks like the FrankenSubaru is alive. These are the latest updates : -I got the new ECU a remanufactured unit by Standard of Canada. -Following advise, I changed the oil and also flushed the cooling system and replaced it with ready mix Coolant. -I completed a brand new wiring installation for the radiator fans. This included fixing the auxiliary fan (for the AC circuit) and the wiring for a main fan with a separate relay, yet both share the same signal from the thermo switch, making them start simultaneously but fed from different sources. They work spot on, by the way, the thermo switch is for a Hyundai that opens at lower temperature than the standard Subaru switch boiling hot head gasket killers! -I found injector #4 leaking again. It was working but there was a leak around its base. FGS! So I got another injector from the junkyard. This one worked fine. -I found green corrosion on the connector of the throttle position switch. I cleaned it both connector and leads. And did the same for the MAF's connector and leads. With these fixes done the car started right away and to a somewhat smooth operation. So I worked on: -Idle adjustments, this was really a PITA, that included swapping a MAF, throttle cable adjustment, idle screw adjustment, ignition timing, new rotor and distributor cap. -Next is a second "field test", as I went for a spin around the block and noticed that dreaded hesitation and sputtering when going uphill. At this point it SEEMS better and more stable at idle, and when ramming the gas. Early conclusions: I'm yet to really know what was the real problem in the first place. I went through so many systems and so many fixes, that I just wonder if this car is so sensitive, complicated and badly aged, that it developed all these problems. After all tests I'm overdue to take it for the mandatory yearly inspection so it's street legal. That'll be next week most likely. Early thanks to all the great USMB members that helped me out! Special thanks to @idosubaru @DaveT @naru2 @john in KY I'll post more updates soon

Here are some photos of the awesome device.

Fair go fellas. Some people may not have been given the opportunity to learn about these sorts of things. Trust me I know - I work in a trauma informed education setting and we have teenagers that read and/or write at a grade 2/3 level of at all.. add in their complex behaviours due to the trauma they’ve experienced (ranges from abuse to lack of food, inattention, being around drunk/drug affected adults, no secure place to live/sleep etc). I’ll wait for a reply to see what ferp comes back with, then we’ll go from there. Cheers Bennie
