I found rebuilds for around $45 plus shipping on eBay. Does anyone know how may amps I need, I've seen 60, 65 and 70 from Google searches for the part. I guess some of that may be from folks w/ bad/partial info, or that accessory packages weren't accounted for. 65 seems to be the most common amperage. I have no add-ons like AC or power windows/locks or the digital dash. Thanks

So I'm going down the highway, minding my own business, the engine starts to feel funny and I notice the voltage gauge is at about 9! Luckily I was close to home and have a fairly good battery. One jump and I made it. Does any one have a good source for a kit for it? I'm thinking I need brushes, bearings and a diode assy/regulator. I there anything else specific to this car that I may need? I'd rather not spend 3 times as much for a ready to run. I have a '85 XT GL, non-turbo, think it's an EA82. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the replies! I just found this: http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/80s/specs/general/1985xtgl.html According to it it is a XT GL based on my VIN. This is a great site. Does anyone have a suggestions for service manuals for this puppy? Lots of pictures here, I'll have to post my own.

New member, first post, first time Subaru owner! Hello, My dad just gave me his old 85 Suabru, it looks like this: (Not really mine, I'm just borrowing this pic from elseware on this site, "one eye".) Mine is grey/silver and only says "GL" on the back, nothing on the side. My hubcaps are the same, the roof and hood are without the 'extra openings'. The old registrations say "GLXT". It has a 4 cylinder, 1.8 FI, no turbo, 5 speed. Every picture that looks like it says XT or XT6 (guessing that's a 6 cyl XT). What is the 'proper' name for my car? Is it a GL, XT or the GL version of the XT (XT-GL)???? I need to get some parts like CV boots and a catilytic converter and it's hard to shop without knowing the name. Also how can I determine the paint code so I fix a few "blemishes". Its a fun little car and my dad was nuts about the upkeep. Only 87k miles a couple small spots of rust and a dozen or so small dents, runs great. Thanks in advance
