Does anyone know where the OBD header for a 1986 Subaru GL is located? Also,
anyone know of any good diagnostic software for this car (or older Subarus in
general)? Thanks guys.

OK, Carl, thanks for that tip. But is there any for a 93 Legacy Turbo?

Well if that's the case, why is there a list of error codes. It's obviously
the fuel-injection model, so that link won't do ME any good, but there was a
site I went to that gives codes for this car.

Well, when I see OBD in caps, I mistakenly thought of the OBDI and OBDII
protocols.
There IS Subaru OEM diagnostics for your injected car. Just continue
scrolling down the page I linked.

From the site:
# The connectors are under the steering wheel, to the left of the module on
most models.
# On cerebrated and SPFI injected 89 models, the test connectors are located
on the engine side/driver's side of the firewall.
