EA-82 wagon struts to 4 door
MilesFox replied to wuffdan's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
you will gain height adjustable struts as they came on 85 and 86 4wd but 87 and later are fixed -
i would re- use them myself. but then again thats me. and then agian i have more sets of used timing belts floating around than i have had subarus. besides, if you build your motor without the plastic covers you can change them off the side of the road in 10 minutes with 2 tools. if you get new ones keep the old ones as spares inthe trunk, along with 2 tools(12mm deep socket and 7/8")

cold weather 20 deg
-
let it sit till tomorrow and it will start random occurrence usually with cold temp 15 deg - otherwise was fine, this happened twice withthe 88 sedan. swapped the motor into a loyale and it would cut out for a while and not start till it cooled off turned out was the distributor one from an spfi or mpfi would work. the pigtail is swappable if the plug is different ('87) check out them c-bus jukyards. spfi has a round shaft for the rotor and turbos have the d shaped shaft and the rotor is taller. spfi rotors fit on turbo distys but not the other way around

thread pitch for water temp sender...
MilesFox replied to TheSubaruJunkie's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
the napa and other generic temps gauges(mechanical) the threads will fit, you will have to use one of the fittings that come with it to secure the thermocouble to the diameter of the soob. keep any leftover pieces from gauge installs as they can be used like legos to adapt oil gauges, vice versa -
Issues. Update! Please help
MilesFox replied to Allowishus's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
i would think that a coolant smell in the vents would ba a leaky heter core. feel around the carpets for wetness if this is so a cracked head can drip coolant into the exhaust but the compression otherwise will be fine -

troubleshooting fuel system...
MilesFox replied to belizeanbus's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
when you turn the key to the RUN position the fuel pump will kick on for a second to pressurize the line the fuel pump will run again when it sees a signal from the diatributor (engine turning over) when you connect the green clips(under the hood spfi or under the dash turbo and 86 spfi) the fuel pump will cycle on and off when in the run position the fuel pump relay is on top of the steering column, next to the ign relay -

check the ign fuse

you can run an spfi fuel pump with a turbo. so has the gl-10 wagon "trashwagon 6" with rx motor and driveline

to install the disty, line up the flywheel to 0 deg. drip in the distributor. dont get confused withthis mark and 20 deg the 20 deg mark is for setting the initial timing with a light while the engine is running and the green connectors plugged in now, when the o deg ark is lined up, the rotor will point to #1 on the cap, whicj is to the rear and right of the cap screw, facing towards the hill holder the mark on the passenger cam will poin to the hard corner on the cam cover what you will want to do is line up the timing belt marks so the driver side cam is up, then turn the flywheel till 0 deg comes up and then drop in the disty

engine has a bog at low RPMs
MilesFox replied to foxgap's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
if you want to get to the TPS swing the alternator out of the way so you can get to it with a screwdriver. just take out the bolt on the side, loosen the long bolt, swing it up, leave the wires connected. -
the other axles will not fit the the 4spd auto. this tranny has 25 spline axles. the non turbo trannies have 23 splines if you needed axles for this car you will need them for a turbo 5spd or any full time 4wd now if your question regards swapping the tranny out of the 89 gl, say if it was a dual range tranny, yes all the parts will swap over to the body. so long as you swap allthe parts necessary what were your plans for swapping drivelines, and what driveline does the 89 gl have?

91 loyal no starting issue please help
MilesFox replied to newsubee's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
i would agree withthe timingbelt. tale off the disty cap and crank the motor. if the rotor is not spinning then you have a broken timing belt -
if the gl-10 is turbo 5spd the axles willnot fit from the gl. but if the gl-10 is turbo with a 3spd automatic they will fit the struts will fit the same regardless

the rotor lines up to #1 at 0 deg install the belts onto the cam sprockets then torque down the bolts as the belt will hold them still #1 cylinder is on the passenger front, firing order is 1-3-2-4 counter clockwise #1 on the cap is immediately to the right of the screw on the back side, pointing at the hill holder

what skip says would pertain to you if your car is wedge shaped and has single composite headlights. this body is referred to as a 3-doo(86-89) the hatch back(80-89) is referred to the older bodystyle with 4 individual headlights and looks like a short 2-door wagon check out this link to learn about the different body styles and to let us know which one your car is so we can help you better if yours is the one with timing belts check out the article in the service and repair section http://www.economysuperstar.com/milesfox/subaru/models.htm

Temp gauge sending unit sensor...
MilesFox replied to Camelwagon's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
working on an 86 ea82 putting it into an 83 wagon, the one sensor has 2 terminals, but they are the flat spade terminals, so yes, this is your dash gauge to be correct, one terminal is sideways from the other. this part is the same for ea81 and ea82 carb models, as the ea82 motor in the 83, the 83 plug fits on it the same and the gauge works my remarks about ea82 spfi would have wires coming out of the sensor, and a green clip the carb models only have one temp sensor and its for the gauge
