My carb was acting like a 1 barrel,the vacuum line was not connected right and so the secondarys were not opening up, but now I know what the condition of my engine is in. It is running how it should now. Joe

Is there a core charge on the shafts? Joe

Once I solve my power problem I will replace both of the front shafts. Joe

If the weather permits, I plan on checking the valve timing tomarrow. The vacuum at idle 16-18 with a fast fluctuating needle and steadys as rpm goes up. I have tested for a restriction in the exhaust and it passed so I am hoping for the cam timing to be off. Joe

I bought a vacuum gauge today and it says that the valve guides are worn. So how much should I expect to pay to have the heads or valve guides repaired? Would the valve guides being worn effect the engine performance that much? Joe

Both of my front cv boots are ripped is there a way to put on new boots? the joints seem to be in good shape. Joe

Compression was 125 I have fiddle with diffrent timing settings and it seems to run best at about 12-14 BTDC but I currently have it at about 25 BTDC and it does not ping, I would think at this setting it would ping or have a hard time starting. Joe

How much power does the mechanical fan, and power steering rob you of? and how much does a 4wd wagon weigh than a 4dr 2wd sedan? I think I may have just gotten use to newer rigs that have better power to weight ratios. I am going to check into buying another weber and see if that helps. Joe

Maybe I was expecting to much, it took me about 3/4 of a mile or so to get up to 75, but is seems to me that my old 85 4dr dl ea82 with a weber could get up to 85 faster. Joe

87 gl wagon ea82 carb'd 5 spd. I can barely get the wagon over 55, I have a stumble/miss at about mid throttle, The timing and advance seems to be working correctly, car idles fine and in first or second gear I can go to 6k Rpms no problem, but in the upper gears their is no power. I am thinking the exhaust is plugged or maybe a problem withthe EGR. Anyone have a simular problem? or suggestions. Joe

I counted the fuses from top to bottom left to right and it is number 12, I bought a Chilton's manual today but it does have a very detailed wiring diagrams, and not for this for this cicuit. The wagon does not appear to have any thing added to it, but it is missing the radio and going to be going out in a minute with test light and meter in hand and see what I can find out. If you have a detailed wiring diagram that shows the wiring circuit for the dash gauges, can you scan and send me copy? I think that is close to were the problem is. Joe

I lose the instrument panel gauges and dummy lights and it appears that the engine will not idle,when the fuse is blown. but it does run and it is carb'ed. Thanks Joe

I have just bought a 87 wagon and it is blowing the 15 amp meter/engine fuse, is there a relay here? where should I begin my search for the short? Joe

many thanks to all who responded, I am sure my friend will become a member here once he gets online. Joe

I no longer have my subaru but a new co worker has one that he is wanting to lift. I know there is a search button, but I do not want to read a bunch threads that can get off topic. So my questions is body/suspension lifts where to get them and how much $$$ and how much lift do you get? I remember reading about someone who did like a 6" lift with some 2"x6" tube and longer bolts,but that is about it that I remember, maybe someone can help me out:banghead: Joe
