Key will not turn in ignition 93 Loyale

newer filters are smaller. reason, smaller is cheaper. still sell for the same price, but cost less to make, so the company has more profit. The larger filters do a better job, so that is a sign the previous owner went for the better of the 2. I know you said you generally use FRAM. IMO FRAM is crap. Put on a OEM, Nippon, Puralator or Napa Gold, those are much better than a FRAM.

make sure the fuse in the fuse box labeled ignition/coil is inserted securely. Mine can be in place with a good fuse, but it has to have it just right for the contact. How did i figure this out? when i installed the weber, I was messing around with the choke wires and the extra 2 plugs that used to be on the hiachi grounded out and blew my fuse for coil/ignition. I put in a new fuse, but sill no spark. that was when i could see how the fuse can be sort of sideways and make no connection to the fusebox terminal.

77 wagon on craigslist San Diego
bheinen74 replied to subarudude's topic in Historic Subaru Forum: 50's thru 70's
cant be too many more of these left. moosens was the last one i knew of, and now this one. Gosh these things are dying like the celebs are..better enjoy them while they are still around. i sure wish subaru stayed by their old motto i see on youtube of being priced low, the new ones are so outrageously priced, thats why i like and stay with the old cars. -
ea-81 front control arms ?
bheinen74 replied to ruparts's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
not to burst a bubble but even on the 1991-1994 legacy, subaru front end between FWD and AWD was different at least the axles were different the reason is the FWD axles were actually beefier than the AWD axles. Not sure how that correlates to the control arms, but even he control arms on the newer ones were different. the higher end models (usually the AWD models) had an extra stabilizer bar bracket, which the mount bracket was absent on the control arm of lower models. I would guess similar for this question. -
also, the crew from CO hang out a lot on http://www.awdpirates.net/forums/

without the discount dealers above, I would find my ownership of Subarus in the decline status. Thanks to the discount parts dealers.

83 Coupe Love ..Restore Progress ( Pics page 2)
bheinen74 replied to Bucky92's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
yeah just in the past year or so, the cost of the materials, cost of paint has skyrocketed. literally, paint for a vehicle used to cost like 100 or so. Now, the paint alone and thinners etc are going to be about 700 bucks, then you have primer cost, masking tape, sandpaper, etc. clearcoat, etc. I think its due to the osha laws, and environmental costs of stuff, remember paint materials are bad for the enviro, so they make us pay these days. If you guys haven't checked around recently on paint cost, you will be shocked like i was. I can see 5g these days for show cars, yes. I can see normal cars around 1500 + just a fender paint is gonna run 200 bucks + hood paint 300~ so yeah. Connie I hope you have more pics of progress, this stuff takes a lot of time to do right, you seem to be coming along steadily. keep it up. -
cars like that jar the heck out of me, i won't ride in one. terrible ride quality. also, we get snow here, that just would not be practical in any way shape or form. to each his own. oh, and one pothole and your car is totaled. pull in a low drive, totaled.

the turbo engine has a turbo specific water pump cuase it has outlets for the cooling tubes to the turbo. You cannot use a non turbo water pump on a turbo engine. But you can do it vice versa if you cap off the coolant lines off the turbo pump on a non turbo engine I have on a shelf a new water pump for turbo engine I bought a while back. I think i paid like 70 for the pump which is a steal. I can sell it since you need it. otherwise, I think the ej18 / ej22 belts and pulleys are the same, its the pump that has to be for turbo engine.
