    Bot mine from the local Subie dealer. $22.++ Alan

    Here are pics of the 'stat differences. As you see, worth the money !!

    Just finished putting a 'stat in my 84 turbo wagon. You really want to spend the $22++ dollars to get a Subaru original 'stat. Very big difference in size of opening and much heavier construction. Much like my four way bypass and cow valve. Priceless !! Alan

    Have run the Saab fan right now thru what the stock electric fan wiring was. Comes on when the thermostat opens up at temperature. Then keeps the temp down at a uniform level. Should be relayed, protected and running thru a 30 amp fuse as the factory set up. Yes, will not have it running all the time. Thanks for the input !! Alan

    Removed both orginal fans. Installed a Saab 12" electric where the original electric fan was. Which is best ?? Wire so fan comes on with ignition, there for runs full time, or wire thru new fan switch in raditor so fan runs when hot enough ?? Saab fan moves a lot of air. Alan

    Read all the advice on my overheat problems. Many thanks for the help. Bot a Subaru stat today. No comparision to the after market, or the one I took out of the Turbo. Size of opening, size of spring wire, diameter of heat element. Worth the $22.++ paid for the "original". Took out the fan clutch and its fan. Installed one fan from a SAAB. Had to trim the support arms, but went in fine.

    Fan Clutch seems to be shot. How do the four bolts to the water pump come out ?? No room to get wrench at them. Remove radiator, alternator, take out engine ?? Bruised hands need to know !!

    Any one have a good match to the original white on the spoke wheels ?? Seem to be a bit off white to an Almond, but haven't found any threads. Alan

    After much help from "The Guys" here, the wagon is a jewel. Two relays under the passenger carpet, I finally found them, were rusted to death. Replaced from O'Reillys. Still would not idle. Tach would bounce, then would stop running. Yes, it was the Dizzy. Worn upper bearing. Had it machined out and replaced with an oilite bearing, watching all tolerances. $3.58 at a bearing supply house. Friends work was a freebie. :-))) Pic of the installed Oilite. Now to pass California smog test. Quart of Lacquer thinner in tank, should clean out old gas and gum. Alan

    Need the base, has a screw down cap. Shaft needs rebush.
  11. mgcwrnch
    Right about that, 1000 + !! Have .060 to .090 in movement of the shaft. Has a screw down cap, which was replaced with the rotor. NAPA and others cannot find the replacement. Anyone have a part ## or where to get a good rebuilt ?? Or, anyone have a good used one to part with ?? Alan

    Will do ASAP. Only has 106,+++ miles, should be tight. We'll see.
  13. mgcwrnch
    Yes. it is running fine at higer RPM. When dropping down to idle it will hold a few seconds, then the tach needle jumps all over, then quits. Seems to be electronic ?? New fuel filter, cleaned the TPS contacts. Hope for some ideas !!
  14. mgcwrnch
    Found the answer !! Relays under the passenger seat, under carpet were rusted beyond function. Replaced both from Oreillys, at half the NAPA price. Plugged in, started up !! Runs fine. Just needs a little limbering up. Thanks to all that helped.

    Did not find any relays or anything under the passenger seat or drivers seat. Do find two relays in engine compartmant over the passenger front wheel. Are these for the fuel pump or injectors ?? Cannot identify from manuals. Found no relay near the fuse block, only the seat belt relay, silver, round, having four pins. Any help or clarification ?? Sure would like to hear it fire up !!
