Glad you got it worked out. To hot not to have a/c.

Was the air in the cabin getting cold? If so, it sounds like something in the wiring or possibly a low pressure switch, but I’m not an a/c tech by any means.

What! I can’t believe everything I read on the internet? Haha.

From what I can see, that car looks surprisingly solid. Nice find!

Have you taken this thing to a muffler shop and let them take a look at it? They’re probably going to be in the position to tell you what’s going on.

Just me personally, but I run the timing at whatever the engine like’s best. To me, the factory gives you a starting point. I’m sorry, I know that doesn’t answer your question.

Just a guess, but you probably need to look at ones for, perhaps ‘82-‘84, to make sure you get gaskets for an ea81.

Both ‘17 Legacy’s have eyesight and all 3 have electronic parking brakes.

I’ve done front and rear brakes on my ‘15, ‘17 and my sons ‘17 Legacy’s and I’ve never had any issues afterwards. Maybe an Outback thing. On these 3, I replaced pads and rotors.

I don’t remember the ‘02 Subaru’s having drl’s. I know you can leave the headlights on and they turn off when you either turn off the ignition or turn them off at the switch.

You’re in NJ, how much rust?

Wow! That’s a pain.

Were those NGK’s from Amazon? If so, they may not be genuine NGK’s.

What about the fusible links? Are they good?

You really need to figure out where you’re losing power. Did you actually test the fuses? Are you getting power to the fuses? If you’re getting power to the fuses, are you power out of the fuse box? If so, are you getting power to the switch? Is power coming out of the switch? Check the various connectors, especially the ground.
