I looked all throughout this thread looking for the amount we would need to pay, but did see anything. Maybe I missed it? Anyway, just let us know what you'd need to cover ALL costs (make sure you're covered). I can send a PayPal to you right away. Thanks!

Yah, locktite! That's what I need. Thanks!

Thanks! I had myself convinced someone had put the timing belt sprockets on in the wrong order or something, but I couldn't be sure. My '91 XT has a roll pin between outer timing belt sprocket and the crank pulley, but that car uses the ribbed belt system. Now, the specifications call for 75 ft. lbs. of torque on that crank pulley. Well, I'm going for 100 ft. lbs. Having that dang thing spin off sounds like a crappy way to end a sunny afternoon drive!

Just a quick question... Crank pulley on '88 DL 2WD Wagon. There's no hole or place for a roll pin on the back side of the crank pulley. Isn't there supposed to be roll pin between the pulley and the timing belt drive sprockets? Thanks in advance!

Most of the Gen 1 Subarus I have seen in the last 10 years in the Pacific NW have been in two areas: South Central Washington (Pasco-Richland-Kennewick) and South Western Oregon (Grants Pass-Ashland-Medford).

Done! And thanks! I can pick up any slack on 1 additional gasket should one become available later on.

Is it too late to get in on this? If not, put me down for one or two, whichever rounds out the number best. Thanks!

If you can locate one of the EA63 "dry-liner" engines, the best thing would be to drop the earlier camshaft (for the older outboard exhaust design) into the newer short block. Then just transfer the older heads over, and use the later head gaskets. It would be almost the same exact engine, but with the fused-in dry cylinder liners. I'm planning to do that with the '73 because I'd also like to move away from the "wet sleeve" problems. Thought about dropping in a more modern EA63 long block (with in-board SEEC-T exhaust), but the cross-member engine support would not permit the newer headers to attach to the newer heads. I also really like the way the exhaust exits from the front/rear of the heads (like an aircraft engine)!

Are you looking for the bracket that bolts to the very rear of the transaxle? I had one still stuck on a '75 tranny, and it just might fit. I know there were changes in that '74-76 time period that affected the transaxle rear, like the angle at which the shifter shaft exits. I'll check it the next time I can get to the rear of the shop (no easy feat these days)!

I used to drive the 360 around a few years ago, but it's been sitting while other projects have moved forward. I do have a mass of parts in case anyone needs anything. Some interior/body, but mostly parts from 3-4 engine/trannies "power units".

Great photo! Where did you last see it (or sell it)? I don't think we could actually NOT keep an eye out for a '75 on the road! Did your '75 happen to have the SOA dealer installed air conditioning? Or maybe the dreaded add-on A/C from Lone Star? On the '76, we had to turn off the A/C when passing on the freeway!

I know you asked if anybody *has* one... Well, I don't now...but I did. I put over 90k on the '71 FF-1 I bought in '77 (when I was a junior in high school). Selling the car in '82 was a decision that I have always regretted. It was a phenomenal car. Inboard front drum brakes, 4-wheel independent torsion bar suspension, and factory radial tires. It had two radiators under the hood (a small one that served as a heater core). I have never driven a car with such a small unsprung weight ratio...it rode and steered like a dream! I scanned some photos this afternoon to put my gallery (I've got some color shots somewhere, and will post if I find them): http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/photos/showphoto.php?photo=7264&sort=1&cat=500&page=1 http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/photos/showphoto.php?photo=7265&sort=1&cat=500&page=1 http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/photos/showphoto.php?photo=7266&sort=1&cat=500&page=1

Haven't been on the board for a while, but did notice this post. Decided to upload a pic of the '73 wagon. The old '76 is behind her, and there's a '78 GF and 360 stuffed in the garage. Don't know how the wife puts up with me... http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/photos/showphoto.php?photo=6635&sort=1&cat=500&page=1

Just wondering if anybody has any ideas about a strange problem. The car is a '91 2wd XT-4 with 4-sp auto. The problem is weird... Cold or hot, doesn't matter. Turn ignition key to ON, and voltmeter sags to about 10-11 V. Attempt to start brings needle down to 8-9V, but no starter or started solenoid movement is heard. If the ignition is left in ON position, the voltmeter rises very slowly but never quite reaches even 12V. Eventually, solenoid will pull in and car will start with normal starter RPMs. Sometimes takes up to a dozen attempts over 2 minutes. Once started and while running, the voltmeter is normal with no sags or needle movement. Verified the voltmeter with a digital multimeter, so the dash meter seems trustworthy. Already replaced alternator and battery (but was not the problem anyway). Thinking about the starter or solenoid, but voltage is sagging even when key just in the ON position (and starter is strong). Wierd... Thanks in advance for any ideas of where to look next.

Thanks anyway. I had to pull out and take apart to find out. In case anyone cares, it's a 6303 with double seals. Got it online for $3, replaced in 1/2 hour, much cheaper and probably better than replacing with rebuilt alternator!

Does anybody know specs of the FRONT bearing in the alternator of a '91 XT-4? I can pick up a replacement at the bearing shop, but I don't currently have a parts book to show the size for that bearing. I know the inner diameter is 17mm, so it's probably something like a B17-95 or B17-103 or something like that. I know I could just take the old one out, but I was hoping to pick up the new one first to avoid tying up the wife's car too long...keeps the peace... Many thanks in adance...
