Recommended Posts

3 of the plugs weren't pushed all the way down on the distributor when i worked on it today I cleaned the TB and all the ground points I was going to drive it today but I broke the neg terminal connectior bolt and didnt have a spare with me. Hopefully I can drive it tuesday. Also was wondering if anyone can tell me how to put clutch oil in this thing

EGR valve is on the side of the intake manifold directly below the throttle body on the outer edge. Beside that is the EGR transducer.

Adding clutch fluid ... DOT 3 brake fluid ... Goes into the clutch master cylinder reservoir. Behind the washer fluid bottle, besides the brake booster ... Whiteish yellow cap in your picture.

good to know cause its on the low mark I wasnt sure what that little res was for now I do thanks a bunch. The person that owned this said he didnt want it anymore cause it started to stall when pressing the clutch in and coming to a stop or slowing down to take a turn.. when I worked on it today i pulled the oil dipstick and it only had about .5 inch on the stick...Being that low is enough to make it stall from not enough oil pressure? Not sure.. But I cleaned the throttle body today it was black and pulled the air filter it was also black and oily towards the back of the box. Planning on making a oil catch, does anyone have pics of theirs?

Also I did see the EGR just wasnt sure if it was it or not. I didnt see any bolts holding it in posistion how to  remove it? very tight in this location. If I remove the airbox cover all the hoses will need to be replace most likely cause there is a decent amount deterioration where the hoses connects to the box (all of them)

anyone tell me what the crunched black boot behind the shock in picture 5  is called? One thing about this comanche is all the electrical connections are shiny almmost like someone redid the electrical at some point in its life. .

for those air bags do you have a pump on the truck for them? or do you manually have to pump it with compressor? you should check to see if they hold air. just because it looks the way it does, does not mean it does not work. I had a Lincoln one time that had air bags that would allow lowering all the way to the ground, and also making it look like a 3 inch lift. it had a pump with no leveler control. You pumped it manually with a switch on the dash.
