for those of u that work at subaru parts
Partsman replied to subiemech85's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Here is the NAPA number - 605-3185. If your local store doesn't have it, they can get it from several NAPA warehouses in the midwest (looks like Wisconsin and Minnesota have several). $35.19 plus freight if it has to be ordered from a distant warehouse. -
I'm leaning toward the fuel pump from everything I've read in this post. Facet (the rattler pump manufacturer that makes them for NAPA and probably for Purolater too) makes one that does 2 1/2-4 1/2 lbs. If your 4-7 lb. pump is running on the high side, it's probably pushing fuel right past the needles in that carb.

6207 is the base number for the bearing. You add a suffix to show what seals it has. NAPA's supplier also adds a "J" at the end, which means it has a steel cage to hold the bearings. 6207-zj = one metal shield 6207-2zj = two metal shields 6207-rsj = one rubber seal 6207-2rsj = two rubber seals The first line bearings are pretty expensive - if you're on a budget, add a "P" to the beginning of the part number for second line bearings. We sell them for under $9 a bearing.

Part # for rear drum adjusters
Partsman replied to goatman's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
NAPA (United) #81392 Beck-Arnley #085-0116 They cost around $24 each! Maybe you should just do the conversion. Rear brakes (drum) don't do all that much anyway unless you're driving hard. -
Rear disc conversion: proportioning?
Partsman replied to Snowman's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
On a previous posting of this question, I called my local dealer to ask about the proportioning valve. At least for the 1988 model year, there is only one proportioning valve no matter whether you have disc or drum rear. Any other questions, check this thread: http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=15970&highlight=proportioning+valve -
NAPA info: primary (under vehicle) - $3.49 - need to measure the size of the lines - part # 3021 for 5/16", # 3089 for 11/32" vapor diverter - $4.49 - part # 3201 hope that fixes what ails ya!

brake rotor interchangability?
Partsman replied to LUVMYBRAT's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
No - different sizes diameter and overall height - solid vs. vented too. -

Welcome! You should come to visit Oregon if you want to see Subarus of your vintage. There are probably 50 or more of your style (and older!) driving around Eugene. BUT, I'll bet there is not an old Subaru in this country with such low mileage! At least, not one that we on this board have gotten ahold of ! Is it in perfect condition, or are there any problems you need to address? With such low mileage, I would think you might have issues with dry oil seals leaking from lack of use.

used loyale/gl buying advice
Partsman replied to jj_jaxon's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Try the Autotrader - website or paper version. Think about buying for less and sinking the rest of the money into maintenance/repair items. We're all about fixin Subes here! My advice - get a loaded GL-10 turbo wagon with 5spd D/R, late 80's. Second choice - no turbo, SPFI (like mine!) OOPS - No turbo wagons with D/R, if I remember the discussion some time ago. How about a loaded turbo wagon with M/T, and swap in a D/R from the junkyard! -
One update: apparantly the positive cable has NOT been changed yet - they say it is backordered. Anyone experienced problems with the positive cable? What you all are saying sounds right to me. Not used to cars being under warranty (as you can see from my sig ). Should just make them change the whole flippin' harness as well as the positive cable.
