The86manche

In need of a tf904 kickdown that's not broken. Mine has broken tabs and I'd like one I can properly secure for my build

I've got an 86 mj with the 2.8 and I'm swapping intakes. the riser is for a 4bbl, unfortunately I couldn't find a 2bbl one, so I'm just trying to make it work. I have a 1 inch spacer for a 4 to a 2 bbl, my concern is for fuel delivery in the intake depending on positioning of the carb 4bbl riser Carb forward Carb back. My concern is will adequate fuel still get to either the front of back depending on where the Carb is bolted. Or am I overthinking this?

How is fluid flowing from both ports in the master? If you disconnect it from the distribution block and run the lines into a bottle or something and press the brake foes fluid flow nicely? How are your soft lines?

Well after staring at all the shiny bits it made me look at the rest of the engine bay and want to clean it up.. So I did. Removed pieces like the air pump and heater hoses that I'm pretty sure we're original. One of them was so old and hard it wouldn't flex and crumbled in my hand. Don't know how it held fluid. Started pulling fittings and brackers to sandblast and wire wheel. Doing all this while I wait for parts. Need new tstat, water outlet, heater hoses, waiting on an accel pump from holly, and as much as I don't want to I should probably change my upper radiator hose. It is original from 86 it still has a faded American motors Corp print and logo on it.

I took those refurbed fiero valve covers and dry fit them on to see how things looked. Everything was just mock up at this point. About the nicest thing on this truck right now haha and clears the hood too!

Cleaned everything up and slapped on some felpro performance intake gaskets with the heat risers blocked. Was not a fan of this gasket design. The pushrods go through the gasket so you need to take them out to get the old gasket out and new in. It looks so sleek and shiny. I installed and torqued. Everything was going well until I felt one of the bolts start to get loose instead of tight. Not enough thread engagment. And did i catch that at the right moment! All the others tightened up fine but since this one almost lost threads I decided I'd go and get slightly longer ones to replace the oe ones holding down the carb riser piece.

Well between everything and everything I managed some time to work on my engine. I am swapping intakes for an edelbrock and carbs for a 2bbl hHolly. They really try and make this engine look as big as possible in here haha The more yous trip the smaller it gets. I don't think that egr was doing anything anymore. factory intake was removed in a day.

I have no forgot about this. It's slow going as I'm bouncing from project to project.

I'll be honest my 2.8 does not have it and never did when I bought it. Never had an issue. Most of the emissions stuff was bypassed and I just finished the rest. I'd say just remove it altogether if you can

I have confirmed 2 working modules! I have roughly 1 minute long videos showing both in action. Truck was not running because I'm working on it so slow settings were.. slow. But they worked. And the higher the setting the faster they intermittently wiped.

If you know your way around wiring you could do a stand alone efi setup out of a 60 degree v6 i.e. 2.8, 3.1, 3.4. Pull harness, efi intake and associated pieces and adapt

I got two ready for testing and decided to crack open the worst module in the bunch. One of the ones cruiser sent actually.. and crack open it did. The case was so brittle it cracked apart. So will have to look into options for a new case.

Getting them going! Got one done for testing, going to get a few ready to test tomorrow

I was wondering what the B was. Assumed from a junkyard but guess I was wrong haha

wholly capacitors batman! I gor some repairing to do! I got cruisers modules today! And at one of the local yards I snagged what I could fine today too.

There should be an intermitten wiper module under the dash Looks like this. I'm working on refurbing a few. Waiting on some capacitors.

I can get photos. I wouldn't necessarily say it's complicated

I'm in no rush cruiser.

That is a rare one for sure. Nice score too, just goes to show you will never know unless you stop to ask

Would you still like me to email you?

I for the life of me cannot find my meter so I have to go out and get another one today. That's been my holdup right now. I did also find another one in my stash for testing as well. Just for a short update.

I can do that! Haha

Now.. where in the world did I put my volt meter..

I may be interested in some if you are willing to unload some of your collection.

Wow this generated quite a bit of interest! Well let me go over the other ones that I have and see what I can do. I've got the other two taken apart and they seem slightly different than the one i fixed previously. Maybe an 86 and earlier model. And these are 87 and up? regardless. Only one capacitor has changed and i only need to check values on them to see what and if anything has failed.
