Wondering if you took it to Subiworx in Tempe. Looks like it’s moved on.

And grounding. All above and check the grounding for sure. I think Subaru3 had a post about this. Was a recall issue , and could cause fire ! We’ve just about all had this issue if you’ve owned these cars for any lengthy period of time. The lower two fuses are the most obvious sign. Do a search of archives , ‘cause I’m getting old and too many other things to worry about.

Curious if you’re still a Justy owner. Good luck with your more contemporary car decisions. And welcome back. I think most of us are suffering somewhat. Best of luck with that as well.

Get it there quick !

Didn’t see one today but I barely got into my stash. I’ll keep it in mind.

Resistor pack ? It’s in the heater blower unit as I recall. Been a while but I think you can do it without raising the dashboard. Try a search of the archives. Good luck.

How about a video of your engine bay ? Maybe we can locate the filter. Can you please read my previous post here and verify ?

Is that really your location ? I have at least a couple of those transmissions in CT Hubs are going to be super hard to find - but maybe the next gen after also works ? 80-84

Plan is to kill off our two FWD cars sooner than later. No set date. But I’m seeing what folks may need or even possible pass the cars along to someone. If you’re interested in these cars please send a private message and we’ll discuss. Would like to have both our old FWD cars off the books before the year is over but this could find itself going into spring. Really hoping that’s not the case. Cars: 1992 FWD five speed Leagcy L wagon , my daily pretty much since 2007. Running great. Has I think 345k now. 1992 FWD Automatic sedan Legacy L only has around 169k I think. Still under 200k for sure. Also runs great and is currently carting me around. Monkey wrench in the works would be if I pull one of the engines for a 2.2 swap into a sitting 96 Outback. So one of these cars may become just a roller. Nothing happening too soon. But given these FWD cars are becoming so rare I figured I’d give plenty of heads up. Although I’ve been hunting for a transmission for my five speed as of this moment it still drives great. Don’t really have any trans issue , other than it being so old. Bridgeport / Milford CT East coast.

Is this a DL , with the elder external voltage regulator ? I know some of the early 80’s still carried the old style forward but as I know it typically the low end of the product line. If that’s the case I would investigate the alternator and voltage regulator which power the pump. By saying yours doesn’t have the fuel filter where shown in the picture , that may indicate this is a DL or STD (fleet type).

I’ll agree that some folks are asking a bit much for the early versions of the Clarion , etc. and same for old style clocks that work. But among the community I would hope somebody has one to offer. Outside chance I may have one still around. I’ll be cracking the whip at storage over the weekend as best as I can. I’ll post back and message you if one shows up.

9403-26692 (RH) 9403-26692A (LH)

Funny they have 14” and 15” front but from what I can see all rears are the same.

Letter on the wall !! ??? I can see where I missed that. I avoid the upstairs except to pee or mooch a snack. Or snag brochures but nothing is so cool anymore.

That’s a 1400 in that car. And the original version , meaning it has what is called wet sleeve cylinders which are bolted in with shims. Once set correctly you’re good for a long time if you don’t thrash the engine about. But finding someone to do that these days will be tough. So if you want originality you’re likely going to need a factory manual (very easy to find and cheap) and start looking for shims and head gaskets. Theres a couple or so guys out there with some New Old Stock left. I am currently selling off most of what I have BUT managed to sell a bundle of those cylinder shims already. I do have some left here and there. And I have a complete engine seal kit with headgaskets and all. Rest of the car is much like those that followed up to the 80’s. But you DO have front drum brakes. Today looked at in horror but not such a big deal. You’re not going to the track with it. Fuel pump is driven off the signal from a functional alternator and voltage regulator combination. Many folks caught off guard on that. Sight glass on left side of carburetor will allow you to see the float level. If sitting a long time you’ll want to take the float cover off - but we’re getting deep at this point and almost certainly the proper way to deal with this old carb is to soak it and have a kit to install. You’re going to hear the Weber replacement talk here and there. But the old Hitachi might be worth using for a while longer. Don’t just toss it please. Sedans have the fuel tank behind the rear seats and are usually in great shape because of that. But it’s 2020 now and I haven’t played with old sitting 70’s Subarus that weren’t mine in quite a while. But the tank is “indoors” so that’s the big plus. More than likely you can go over it and get it to start. But you know the deal , check it over well and maybe take out a spark plug or all , check oil , etc Hoping it’s a manual. Those first year of automatics were a near disaster. If it’s an auto , be aware that Subaru gave up on their vendors first automatic tranny. And then further issues. Will talk more if applies. Not a whole lot of difference but yes you can put the GL items on a DL for the most part. No difference in engine , just a clock , am/fm radio , really not too much else. Let us know if you’re more interested in just keeping the body going and adapting a 2.2 with disk brakes , etc.

If only the sales staff were anywhere near as good as the elder parts guys there. Only times I’ve dealt with Sales people at Perkins I felt like throwing a punch or two at the arrogant €#£¥&@ Premier up the line is said to be a fairly decent ‘ship. And Charlie Miller might still be there ( super master guru above all else including GD here ). As the saying goes , Good luck wit dat !

Jim I’ve got a 92 FWD wagon that would turn heads in Weston. Reliable 2.2 Anti-theft garb would include being a five speed manual and the art inspired paint deterioration resulting in the absolute coolest patina. Super rust protected (now) since the power steering rack is shot and puked out fluid these parts few weeks. No need to join the gym , you’ll get your workout steering the car. Even aging bodies need to keep upper arm strength. Heat shields rattle , runs year round on snow tires , and has cool motorcycle racing related stickers and being my daily it has to have a Nova Scotia sticker on it. I would gladly donate it to you so you can save those SS checks and maybe buy a nicer ride in the future , AFTER you’ve hit the 500k mark. It’s at 345k now but still stunning around the cafes and stores downtown Westport, Darien, Greenwich, those kind of places. It’s the best car I’ve ever owned. Free to you as soon as I get my 2003 back. Or just buy new plastic electro gizmo what the hell does that symbol mean ?? rubber band transmission future mouse trap car. See you at Perkins.

Sounds like you managed your priorities well. Enjoy the trip back.

Ok yours just keeps getting me the same message that your email does not appear to exist. So you send and email to me at moosens@yahoo.com and I’ll reply. A bit worn out so you might not see it right away.

I had copied that original email. Should have pasted and sent , right ? anyhow , long day today. Give me some time if someone else doesn’t chime in. Will attempt again very soon.

Hang in there. We’ll get you straight.

Well the first one came back and I expect the second will as well.

The great internet told me “not a valid address” and gave me a choice to send anyways , so I did. First email is from the parts manual. Second email will be of the carb kit diagram.

Time to look for a service manual. That looks like an 80’s radio. But if the plugs are the same I would try it first.

Sorry , but I guess you’d need to sign in and join the group if you care to. I don’t like FB but suffer occasionally there to mostly sell parts. There’s pictures from the factory parts manual and from a carb kit. Also showed the parts lists. My dad had an 81 DL wagon bought new. Rubber flooring , no A/C , and the door chime - ding ding ding , that was so new back then , and somewhat annoying. I really have a lot of very clear memories of that wagon. The sound of the exhaust crackle when you turn it off. Great car!
