How do i remove and install clutch cable subaru gl 1988

I don't think anything has had points since mid 70's

wow, that's an old car! Best info for you would be the Forum at www.ultimatesubaru.org
Are you near Denver by chance? RetroRoo in nderson is a good shop - Shawn is expert on older soobs.

You used your rusted parking brake cables & that
is why they stayed on?

It will be close to the gearbox bell housing, where it connects to the engine. If I remember correctly (it's been a while) it's on the left side of the engine.

How many miles on your subie? Is it fuel injected? I think Subes still had a few carbureted models even up to about 1988.
Check the timing, and if it's injected have the fuel pressure checked for proper pressure.
After it starts, does it run good? Might want to checlk your vacuum hoses for any leaks.
Good luck.

I would suspect that the Fuse has blown, or the wire has been cut? to that supply wire to the pump, try running a lead directly back to the Positive of the battery and see if that works OK? If so locate and replace the fuse, and or fix the broken wire.

Should't matter

check on your clutch assy and flywheel...that would be the problem..

In the back of the engine you will find a rubber plug that covers a hole in the bell housing. Remove the plug and on the flywheel there are timing marks. you have to turn the engine over clock wise untill you see them. There are 3 lines, line up the middle line with the pointer, put the left cam shaft sprocket mark straight down and the right cam sprocket mark straight up, and install the belts.

Will it rev up in neutral? Kinda sounds like your spark advance isn't working as it has fuel and spark and runs, albeit not well. It would be helpful if you included mileage on the car and a description of the conditions when this started to occur.
