So starting today, I was driving my '83 GL when all the dash warning lights came on. The voltage gauge warning light is on(and the gauge runs a bit higher then normal, and goes up with engine rpm). The brake fluid light is on(fluid level is fine) and the warning light next to that is on. The E-brake light is dim but is also on, and when I put the ebrake on, it gets brighter. What could cause this strange problem? All the lights did go out together a few times to come back on in a few seconds. I did drive through a small mud puddle, and it has been raining pretty hard so maybe water got somewhere? Its my daily driver, so I want to get this figured out asap. Thanks

Heres my ea81 with the muffler removed. I'll probably put a flowmaster or something on it soon

So whats the deal of "unequal headers" to get the subaru boxer rumble? Is it even possible of the older ea's? I would love to make my ea81 sound better(love the subie boxer sound), but not obnoxiously loud.

Yeah, you can pull one off if you want. They are 28-8.5/14 swampers.

Im in tumwater, I can drive over to your place, and you could take a look at my car for ideas on the lift etc. Its 4" lifted, so im sure that could help. Let me know.

I was kind of afraid to drive my car the 1 1/2 hour drive to Seattle. If I go on a longer drive, its not going to be with the swampers again lol.

Thanks Craig. I'll be using that a lot.

Welcome to USMB.

Great time. Had fun meeting you northern guys. Lets see some pics!

Heres mine i'll get a better pic tomorrow. 1983 GL SJR 4" lift 28" TSL's

I couldn't find a whole lot on this topic, so I'll ask it here. Is there a step by step procedure posted somewhere on how to adjust the valves on a ea81? My valves are pretty noisy. I also want to know what they should be set to, and I also need to know what cylinder is what number, and firing order. I have done many valve adjustments on vw engines, but not subarus. Thanks

Awesome. Thanks

Does anyone have an address to the meeting place? I'm not real familiar with Seattle. Thanks.

Im still in . Found a missing bolt int he front end making my GL scary to drive. Hopefully i'll meet a handful of you guys.

Extended the 4wd shift rod. Easy fix.

My '83 has one, and by looking at it, it probably wouldn't be hard. Its just figuring out brake lines and a cable.

Max told me about this. Need to go rob a few pieces off it.

If i get my car fixed by then, i'll cruise up with ya Kelsey. Anyone else?

Nobody knows? Maybe a way to adjust the 4wd shift bar so the shifter is pushed down further when in 2wd?

I think I might be up that way for some family pictures. I might just have to drive my GL. Its a beater, but its a subaru lol.

So i was messing with the 4wd and it got stuck in 4 low. The shifter pushed down but didnt put it in 2wd, so i climbed under the car and pulled the rod into 2wd. Turns out the nut for the shift linkage came off. So now everything fells way better, no more slop and it hasn't popped into 4wd. The 4wd light stays on though(even if its in 2wd). Where is the switch for the 4wd light located?

Are you in Greys Harbor wa? Like Elma? You could check my GL out to see how they work and build your own.

Pitching stopper? Where would that be? It does need new trans mounts though.

So how do you guys mount your roof racks? I want to put on on mine, but cant figure out how to mount it.

The choke could be malfunctioning. Does it run good when its cold and get worst as it warms up?
