Question for everyone.
So the 1983 DL 1.6H That I bought several months ago. Yes I'm doing a complete restoration and it is a learning curve. LOL First time I've ever done this. Hoses, Valve covers, Struts, Oil Pan reseal, and some exhaust work is all that is left to do. Already taken care of a huge laundry list as apparently the original owner left everything factory original. Interesting on many parts.
My plan is to finish with the mechanical, then attend to the exterior, after which I will attend to the interior (upholstery)
Anyhow, Here is the question.
Recently I inquired about the timing belt at the Subaru dealership Auto shop and was told that my car runs off a Gear rather than a timing belt. No other information. Just that. Never heard of a car that doesn't use a timing belt. So it seems kind of strange. Any insight into this from those of you who are more knowledgeable?
Thanks a ton in advance.

P.S. Does anyone know why this model came with only the driver's side rear view mirror? I double checked the work history and there is no record of it ever having had a passenger side rear view mirror.
