I am parting out an 87 syncro that had the drive train removed. It is mostly complete minus drive train, diff lock panel, instrument cluster, and driver's...
Given the vaporized-antifreeze smell, I vote for the rear heater core. When we had ours replaced, the tech said he couldn't see any leak in the old one, but...
On a recent 700 mile trip, I noticed a slight growling noise I thought to be a u-joint or brake problem. About half-way through the trip I jacked up and...

Make sure the problem is not in the O2 sensor mileage counter. These are more likely to fail than the speedo gear in the front diff. The Speedo gear is fully...
