Re: '91 Westie with '07 Forester 2.5

Hi Terry, Sorry for the delayed response.?
We didn't go to busfusion, headed out for Labrador on the 20th.
We have been taking our time heading out,? currently in Tadoussac Quebec.? The weather has been miserable so if you haven't left yet,? wait a day or two.
If you have and are in this direction,? we are staying at the Tadoussac campground on the east side of the ferry.? ?Will be here till Monday 26th, at a minimum.? The electrical issue reappeared and we are stuck here till a new alternator comes in,? hopefully miss afternoon monday.??
Stop by, we're obvious,? and i have a few pints to share.?
Safe, and trouble free travels.? ?Be great if we can meet up.?

I actually have a couple of spare computers for my 2002 2.5 n/a Subie. Let me know if I should bring one. Hmmm, maybe I'll bring it anyway, I heard parts of the Labrador road are a wee bit rough.

I'm trying to figure out just which engine I have and it may be the same as yours, in our 85. We'll likely be parked near the ag hall end; ask around as lots of people know us, and I'll try to find you too. Cheers,? Jim Wallace?

Let me know when you are headed up to Labrador/ Newfoundland please. We are heading on that journey directly after BUSfusion in Almonte Ontario.

Hello all, Hoping someone may have an idea, been working on this for a few days with little success, and of course we are supposed to be heading out for a 6 week trip across Labrador & Newfoundland.
Had the conversion done a year ago, everything was fantastic for last year's 12,000 km trip to the west coast of BC. (Should have done the conversion year's ago)
Couple days ago was heading to the garage for a minor upgrade, when things started to 'turn off', until the van was barely able to run, battery down to ~7V.? I have a battery switch to flip between vehicle and house battery, enabling me to go the additional distance.
We have tried 4 different alternators, with the engine running all of them max 12.4 V.? Have unplugged the alternator cables so no load, still only about 12.4V.? Take them out of my van, install in another, and they go up to around 14.4V.??
Belt seems ok, cam shaft pulley also ok.
Do one of the 3 connectors on the one plug of the alternator provide some kind of V sensing where if it isn't connected or loose/corroded, so max the alternator puts out is around 12.4V?? If yes, where is the other end of that going?
Any other ideas or thoughts are much appreciated.
