alright alright i'll get the tumbler out of the door...probably this weekend.

Cool, 2 places to start looking. Is there anywhere else I can see the code that wouldn't involve taking a lock out?

My 1981 GL is having ignition issues, either the barrel is messed up or its my old warn down key, I'm 99.8% sure it's nothing more complex than that. I searched some older posts and it seems my first step should be to get a code cut key to match my tumblers. Can anyone recommend a locksmith or mechanic(?) to do this in the Portland, Oregon area? I could start cold calling but I'd like to give my business to someone who deserves it.

I'm totally new to this site, and new to the subaru world. I might be able to make it up Sunday morning, will everyone be packed up? I'm getting the idea that this might be a great place to meet some knowledge about my new 1981 GL. Just in case it might be an easy afterthought for someone to throw this in their trunk: I'm in need of an oil pump housing for my ea81... if you have an oil pump laying around even if its non-op i would be more than happy to buy this little part of it...can't find it alone annnyyywhere! (and manual door lock mechanisms and seat belt buckle receivers)
