  1. see if he tigheted down the distu, if not it could jsut be moving around back there, see if the cam dosnt have worn teeth also so when the engine speeds up its not caughting the gears on the distu.
  2. i rebuilt my 1989 gl with 210k now has 240k owned for a year and has seen its share of air time. i paid 1200$ for it becuse the body at the time had no rust but seward is right by the water and its dont some very not nice things to it...
  3. the struts are bigger, and the wheel bearings are diffrent but every thing else is the same. there is more room in the wagon (duh) but some wagons had more room they had bulges in the rear makin 4sqft more(woohoo) the rear windows are diffrent becuse of the wagon and the seats, but every thing bolts up the same.
  4. make sure that your coil is pluged in and grounded, be sure to check the wiring it could have been that when u shut it off last a wire could have gotten melted, also i rember there being a tsb about a ground strap for the ingition system i dont remeber if it was fi or carb. ill check it out some more...

  7. its so easy to rebuild a subaru starter ive done it many times, all u need are the starter contacts nothin else needs to be replaced, there like 5 bucks at the dealer and it takes about 45 min to do it. take the starter out than remove the rear cover usally 3 screws can be a a torx or a bolt. inside you will have to take out the center contact and grind it out till its smooth. take off the the bolts from the battery pos and remove that contact when u put in the new one make sure to hammer it down with a screw driver so it stays flush with the contact. than remove the outher one and hammering it down when your done than after that you should have a great quality rebuilt starter for 5$
