Take two saw horses and a 4x4 sheet of plywood or sheating, clamp the wood to the saw horses with 2 or 4 c clamps. you now have a great assembly, sit your but on a stool and work away. When you are finished take the table down. I assembled a 1.6 engine this way and it beats standing for an OLD man. Jack

I need to know if I can change the clutch by removing the axle nuts nd sliding the tranny back to get to the clutch. Thank you Jack

Junk the car, it is only worth $5-600 running. Jack

I drove a 2012 Impreza prior to purchasing a 2012 Kia Optima. The Impreza was very rough riding and the interior was as out of date and dull as an old Ford Taurus. The CVT is a joke, it remimded me of a Honda motorscooter I used to have. I have been a Subie fan for many years!! In the process of restoring an 83 GL and an 86 Brat to play with. Jack

Thank you for your help. I found the relay and installed a jumper between the hot lead and the fuel pump lead. I had spark but still no power to the pump, now I do. Jack

I just installed a new Hitachi coil with my new Hitachi Distriburoe. My question is: does the Subie wiring send a full 12 volts to the coil when the switch is turned to the start position? Thank you Jack

Thank you for the info!!! Jack

Would someone please tell me where the fuel pump relay and fuse is located on my 83 GL? Thank you Jack

I just installed a new coil & Resistor on my 83 GL and my question is: When the switch is placed into the start position does he coil get a full 12 volts? Thank you Jack

Stick with the Legacy without the CVT, maybe a 2010. The Imp. will not give you the good ride that the big boy has. Jack

Recently I drove a 2012 Legacy Sedan with the slip-o-matic tranny. They ruined a great car with that thing. I reminded me of a 1950 Buick Dynaflow tranny. You push the gas and it sits still, push more and the engine revs, more pressure and it starts to move. As it gains speed the engine is going 70 but the car is running 50. All that RPM is wasting fuel. In the Ft. Worth area a standard is a pain. I really enjoy my 2012 Kia Optima. My intent was to but a new Subie but not with that gutless tranny. Jack

I had a member offer to sell me a used Hitachi distributor after I had purchased a rebuilt one and it came today without the electrical leads. If you will please contact me I will purchase your distributor. Please contact me @ pajack1939@sbcglboal.net Thank you Jack

I installed a 2 barrel manifold on my EA81 engine with a Weber. I removed and caped the small line and removed and used a 4 inch piece of 1/2 inch heater hose plugged to kill the large line. Texasjack

This car was set up for high altitude operation, so I am going to make my own primary system and eliminate the high altitude stuff. I will run a lead from the hot terminal from the switch to a ballast resistor, then to the plus side of the coil. Next run a lead from the start terminal to the positive side of the coil. Then run the orange lead from the negative side of the coil to the distributor Connect the black lead from the positive side of the coil to the black lead going to the distributor. That will eliminate the Jap crap in the entire system. Jack Jack
