Anti-Dieseling device. Yes I’ve seen that wire break off at the end of the metal. Let me check as I can. I’m currently cleaning house of over 40 years of Subarus and the 70s are my main focus. If you go on eBay you’ll see I have a lot of 70s and I have or had a carburetor listed. I know you don’t need the whole carb but just for reference. And that’s a rebuilt carb. “cashingmystuffin” is my eBay name. More than likely if you just lightly touch a soldering iron to it you can set that wire back on well enough. Good luck. I’ll try to post more later about the anti dieseling switch.

Yeah as mentioned if you’re willing and able. Dual Range Five Speed all time hero of Subaru transmissions to me.

Hey there. You mentioned 80 and then 86 so I checked your profile and I’m able to see you’ve got an 86. Doubtful that you’ll find new parts but without question I would either try west coast dealers or have your local check with the west coast Subaru parts distributors. They can check and a good guy will help you out. As for manuals you may find some online. A parts catalog is helpful too but I’m not sure those are online. I do have a parts catalog from the 82-87 Brat era, might be an 85 but the transmission is the same. I’ll see what I can dig up for you. Send me a message if you’re able. Sometimes new members have a waiting period, but I’m not sure these days.

And thanks very much for those pictures. They are already very helpful to me.

Overall I’d say not so bad compared to what I’ll be dealing with. I’m some regard mine aren’t too far off from yours with the major exception of my stage one 1977 wagon is very much rotted at that rear skirt - which looks so sweet on your car. Enjoy that. The 79 I drive now it’s mostly the corners. But the 77 got bitten by the rust bug in a couple spots that are going the be a considerable effort to make good.

That color to me says 1967 Chevy Impala wagon. Nice to see that color. We didn’t get that green.

Looks quite solid compared to the ones I have. Enjoy ! Please post pics and I’m especially interested in the rear from the deck down behind where the bumper would hang. I guess we call that the transom. Or rear skirt. Also the usual rear corners. And the front wheel apron where the mud gets slung. Those areas I mentioned I’ve either got to throw money at or become skillful in a trade I’d always avoided. Cheers !

Good luck. If you can’t find parts catalogs online let me know. They have the exploded views that help in times like this. Service manual might help some too. Been ages since I’ve messed with those 85-89s

Random parts numbers form the 95/96 2.2 Legacy catalog if this helps at all. The part that bolts onto the passenger side of the TB is called a Throtte Sensor - yup - we all call it the throttle position sensor, but who are we? Part number 22633AA110 and that’s for cars spit out from the factory from 03/94 through 05/95 and also 06/95 - going forward at time of print. Good luck with it.

Man I forgot to tell you all that my 79 took a solid second place in the “dinosaur” pre-1995 category. Maybe I already bragged this, I’m old. So hey, now I’m focusing on my earlier 70’s boxers and at this moment am looking to move the *second place* finisher in the Largest Subaru meet in the country and maybe the world. 1979 GL 4WD Wagon currently on Craigslist in the Fairfield county section of the NYC area.

Been a tough year for getting back to this car. Thankfully Scotty doesn’t mind for now that the car sits in a usable space. But I do need to shake a leg. Now here’s the next bump in the road. I have another stage two wagon coming that I’ll only be taking parts from as best as I can tell at this time. Could be your trailer project or who knows maybe even make the one runner from the two. Nothing happening at lightning speed but the one I’ll be taking on this week does need to go sooner than later. That car will in in western CT for those interested.

I’m the same guy as you. Vintage 1963 youngest of three and middle brother was a mechanic before they called them technicians. There’s online service manuals out there too.

Tough call. And I’ve seen where a failing due pump does show some of what you’ve mentioned. But so would a cracked sensor or loose connection. I use my 94 Legacy as a daily beater. Can’t say I’ve really had this issue on those cars 90-94 Bit this also sounds similar to what I’m getting right now with my wife’s 2006. We have a broken cam follower sensor connector. So it’s going into default mode randomly but if I push my foot into the pedal I can get the throttle to act as it should and actually drive normally - until the next fit it throws. Just my thoughts so you’re not alone in the wilderness here.

All I can add is that I did the PCV swap from the 2000/01 to the 2002+ block fairly easily. Should be archived. In my case I needed I think a 22mm tap for the EGR. And one inch rubber tubing. Been a while. But just an example of what you may have to do. Good luck. Just looked at your profile for location and I see that you know your stuff. You’ll be fine I think.

Sounds wild , like AK should I guess. Geez, I do have some exhaust sections but I’d want to keep them until I’m not driving these anymore. I don’t think I have any transmission for that era, sadly. That’ll be a dilemma should I need one. But I do have an automatic from a 2000 Legacy GT which I think is a little more chunky than the normal line. Maybe that’s 4:11 ? Just a short drive from your place. But yeah read the message and we’ll maybe make something happen with smaller items.

Great story. Hey I’m cleaning out a lot of parts and I also love the 2.2 first edition. Let me know if you need some parts. I have a lot of stuff I’d be happy if you just covered the shipping. Justy and Sambar I’m distant from. Just never turned my wheels. My version of “cute” is the 70s boxer era. But I hope you enjoy your hunt. I see the 90s Sambars here on the east coast randomly.

Filler neck is the same.

I can’t tell which state you’re in, but I’d have your dealer check with west coast distributors. If the parts guy or gal is decent and has two minutes they can investigate west coast stock. Haven’t done that in a while because the old parts guys have retired and the young punks are just that. Good luck.

cashingmystuffin - that’s me. Mostly 70’s Subaru parts. Not much anything else with very little exception. Random 80’s parts may show up still, but please don’t ask. 90’s first gen Legacy and 2000-04 Legacy Hope you see you there.

I didn’t take into consideration that you may just really want that body style. 85-94 loyale Check the 2.2 swap posts in the archives and Not have to search for long periods of time for that drivers side EA82 timing belt. If you lean heavily towards the EA82 you’d do yourself a favor to check parts availability. Especially that left side timing belt.

I see you’re in WA Personally I would skip the EA82 and stick with that good old 2.2 magic first gen Legacy. We used the Loyale series to the max in the day. I had many, N/A and at least one or two turbos. Not like I don’t know about them. Given the day we live in now my feeling is that the EA82 series cars days are numbered. I can find 70’s parts easier than 80’s You already know the 2.2 If you romanticize historic then I’d go for the EA71 or EA81 and gather parts asap. If you want some extra practicality out of your vintage Subarus then the 2.2 first gen legacy is the almighty. That’s my two cents. Enjoy !

Nice picture ! Report ? How’s it rolling along now ?

Dirty - nice ! enjoy !

Not just a threat this is my reality. After over 40 years of Subaru fun I now have the two cars I want as I retire. So I’ll be selling nearly all of my extra parts. Some New Old Stock is still with me. I’ll post what NOS I have as I pull items out. And plenty of good used stock too. Some items already listed with the FB vintage Subaru parts group and may be listing elsewhere. For now I’d like to avoid eBay. But in a month, maybe more maybe less I’ll try to list a few items. I’m not happy with them since I stopped selling several years back. If you’re kind of new here and don’t know me just look up my history here. I had my post count chopped back when because too many folks got to thinking that post counts gave them status. But I am pretty much an original member from 1998 or whenever it was.
