My first thought is a pulley went and you’re just feeling tension on the cam. Belt pushed the cam out. Maybe the weak metal gave in. But you’ll tell us soon. Don’t buy cheap. I know money is tight but if the car is important and you need the timing belt kit many folks will suggest you do it right and try to buy dealer parts , or a better make of aftermarket. But do beware ! Names we trusted recently have now slapped their name in lesser quality parts. So research current experiences.

Not sure where you are but I also saw this listing as it isn’t all too far from me and other USMB guys. I doubt you will need these but if you need some help with them let me know and maybe I can help out. But for now , just make the time. Start with basics. Remove the battery negative , drain oil , remove fans , 22mm socket and large pipe for the crank bolt , remove timing covers , and you’re on your way. Are you near CT ? With a board name like that I’d think VT lol Enjoy

The best online stores for Subaru parts
moosens replied to Knucklehead Saloon's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Try the west coast dealers for older cars. Don’t waste your time with east coast or northern rust belt dealers. Good luck. If you want names I’m sure you’ll be seeing many. Subarupartsforyou is our local and generally good guys. Just not able to easily assist with any older parts. -
Rain getting into my brat!

PRP has new windshield gaskets. And I have one new one left too. Ours ( the USMB Group ) were made the same time their batch was. -

Either that or from under the cowl. See that cowl in front of your windshield ? Take it off and clean out any debris down in there. Then determine if you have any pinholes thru the rusty areas. -
Reverse flush available to you ? Grab a fresh thermostat , some new Anti-freeze , and hit the place that does flushes. Not a bad idea no matter what the cause. If need be I can tell you the dashboards come out pretty easy , but I haven’t changed a heater core yet. I have one sitting waiting for a fail but so far still getting great heat.

Yes , should see fuel flow. Pumps are easy to replace too. Plenty of info here. Turn the key to Start and listen for the fuel pump. It’s behind the rear passenger seat. Fold seat , pick up carpet - wagons have the plastic strip retainer - and see an oval shaped cover with Phillips screws and remove that. You’ll see the electrical connector and three rubber lines. That’s your baby ! Let us know what happened , please. Sounds like fuel since you reminded me to read better. Eric !!! Like button -

Scratch that. I thought maybe he was thinking turbo block. -

Just basic flat stock metal - you’ll be covering the holes at the exhaust ports that once had the EGR pipes. No need for pipes. I did this about 15 years ago. -
If your seat is like my 92 Legacy then you’ll find a post I just put up not long ago on this subject. There’s a hard wire - very thin metal rod - which carries the pull of the handle you grab over to the opposite side seat rail release. That metal wire/rod needs to be replaced. You can use a flexible wire if you don’t have a stiff one. Pair of pliers and some patience and you can do it without removing the seat.

Rescued 1979 Subaru Wagon, now i need help..
moosens replied to Subasaurus's topic in Historic Subaru Forum: 50's thru 70's
Very cool. I’m guessing you have the four spoke steering wheel and a clock too? Just went back and read , tachometer too. Lol -
I feel like a knucklehead - typical - but I know I saved those numbers but where they are now is beyond me. I sure will try to locate them. Pretty sure I saved the receipt from the dealer. Lots of guys seem to have the Factory parts manuals , and maybe even some posted online. Mine are not handy at the moment.

1992 Legacy Sedan At first I thought it was completely frozen/locked in the down position. It seemed to not budge either way. But I managed to force the handle down and lock the backrest into a somewhat comfy position for the drive. Haven’t had a moment to take the seat out or get my eyes under it. Anyone else have this issue? Remedy ? Seat moves front to back just fine.
