Keep in mind I’m talking Loyale series and older. I probably have the parts from one of my parts cars but it’s one of those items I haven’t had to deal with yet. And now it looks like I’m stepping aside from the first gen Legacy for a while. Did you also post on FB ? I think I replied there. I’m in CT and will be blowing out decades of parts. My dedication is 1970s, first gen Legacy, and 2002-04 Legacy only. And I hand a few of the first gen Legs. Getting the boxes out these days and really hoping to unload it all or large lots for cheap. Cheers!

Pretty sure these also still have a ballast resistor I believe it is called. I’ll try to find the location when I get home. But on the older models it’s down there at the blower fan box. The older ones have a ceramic type of application over three of the four resistor wires and the fourth is a straight load. That fourth one or your number four on your dashboard switch will always operate as I recall.

Some folks have baked their ECUs just enough to get the solder to loosen up and reset. Also check every ground for good metal contact. And if the general field that a ground lands on is a rusty area that’s not considered a good ground. Folks add ground wires. Usually see the braided type, nice and thick. That would be a starting point. Good luck. Post back.

Thanks ! I’ll swap them over as soon as life stops pulling me around to everything but my car repairs.

Installed new cam follower sensor and the wires were completely different to what the car’s harness has. So I set the sensor in place and went by which wire I felt was closer to the ones on the harness. Still throwing the code sometimes. Car will run but seems like it’s in a default mode. If I press the gas pedal it’ll be very choppy at the first couple thousand RPMs but runs pretty well around 3k and then some. 2006 Outback wagon. 2.5 n/a engine. Thanks!

Bump. Still waiting for this car but it should be at our property soon. And as soon as it gets here I’m anxious for it to be done with and leaving. Please check all my posts if you’re a 70’s owner.

Busy year for us so we are blowing out parts to make space quickly. Stop by Milford CT if you can. Or get in touch. Shipping is possible for many items.

Tough to find. The stores don’t seem to care to carry the Castrol I’d prefer with the zinc. To answer your question , I’d say no it does not need the zinc but if added that would be helpful. I’m no expert. But I’ve been running 70s EA71s a long time with the oils I am forced to purchase. 95% of the time it’s the non-zinc oil. And I actually use my 1979 EA71 car often.

That brown one pulls my heart strings. That was my first brat , same color, stripe, high SnugTop, front bar, and I’m sure there’s a high roll bar and rear seats, right? Have to really crawl around to get a fair assessment. Is the silver one an 80 with the second small blue air filter/breather ? Or an 81 with an 1800 and dual range? Does that one have quad headlights like the brown one?

Dual range five speed ? all time favorite None in any yards out west ? https://www.car-part.com/mobile/index.htm

About three years ago or so I had a 2000 Legacy donor and used that engine in our 2003. Take a minute and check the archives. It’s not a big deal. Good luck.

You may get the flex on those outlets. I’m starting to think I was doing the same approach on the parts car. But that’s a fading foggy memory.

From my 1985 factory parts catalog which has the dual range: station wagon with dual range non turbo would use p/n 23221 GA232 the best I can tell. and the part name indicates 7AC I can’t post pics right now and I’m a little worn out from the day. It’s a little confusing with the other axles so I’d better rest and look at it again another time. It seems there are a couple models that have a turbo but get 23 spline axles, which is weird. The 25 spline axles are the predominant turbo axle for sure. Maybe the 23 for automatics or something I’m not seeing.

I’m going through parts as the weather warms. For sure I have the MAF from at least the 92-94 and maybe 90-91. I’m not sure there’s even a difference on that item. Probably all the same for all EJ22E 90-96. As I can I’ll check the boxes I have which happen to be right up front waiting for spring. If I have the 5-pin I’ll let you know asap.

Hey maybe your lucky moment. I have that exact transmission which I personally extracted from a 2000 Legacy GT wagon. It is a 4:11 I pretty sure. Those also run larger wheels. The car I purchased to part out for my own needs (engine) had a front end collision. Car had only 124k on it. I jumped on this once I saw it. That engine is in our wagon. We drove it from east coast to west and it now resides in AZ with our son. That was over two years ago. So the engine should speak for the transmission for future reliability. I have the transmission on a dolly in my storage. It’s in Milford CT if that helps. I haven’t checked your location but I’ll do that after I post this. Being February in New England it’s a little chilly out to make a crate. But if you’re wanting it shipped I’d be willing once the temps get a little higher. Off topic- somehow I cannot locate the remote dashboard cup holder I had from that GT. But I also have a good load of parts from that 2000 GT and also from a 2002 sedan. I don’t want much at all. I’m cleaning house and would be happy to make a sweet deal on that transmission.
