Well, I'm back at it. Removed the turbo and manifold. Fixed the turbo return line oil leak. re-assembled with an E6 manifold. Everything went together with no issues. Cranked with ignition...
Nothing like that.
Have a few misc heater lines, transmission, upper/lower intake for 84, charge cooler, throttle body less idle control, tail lights, T3 turbocharger, and a few other misc parts. ...
Just found one in my pile of parts:)
Looking for an EGR Tube for my 84 SVO. Can't seem to find one anywhere.
Another question. When I put the oil return fitting back in the block, should I use a few wraps of Teflon tape?
Mike, you were right about the struts. Looks like the previous owner installed aftermarket cartridges. Koni lists 8741 1054 as an SVO specific replacement. I think I will go with thesee unless...
Thanks for the strut info Mike. Looks like I will be looking for struts now. I see Koni is again selling an SVO specific strut.
So, now I have another question. The front struts are Koni, but not adjustable as far as I can tell. The Koni part number is 8641X 1006. The Ford part number is E4ZX-18A084-AA. i have seen a...
Thanks for the help Mike. Most of what I know about this car I have learned from yours an all the other posts on this forum.
IT"S ALIVE!!!!
Running for the first time in 15 years:)
A stuck vane air flow sensor was the culprit. A little piece of crud had it stuck open.
Starts instantly, nothing ugly coming out of...
I seem to remember someone saying this would be easy. Oh, now I remember. It was me talking to my wife.
OK. New plugs, new wires, new distributer cap, new rotor, new fuel pump, new filter,...
Today, I got the upper intake off and got the injectors out. Using a valve stem as a connector with a modified cap with the straw from a can of carb cleaner glued into it, I was able to test and...
Also, I found a way to test and clean the injectors. I'll do this to the spares and clean out the spare fuel rail and put that on the car tomorrow. Hope that does the trick. Want to take the car...
I did bypass the resistor wire. I am planning on extending the inline power feed to the tank pump, but haven't yet done so. anxious to just see it run:)
I was just looking at the Ford shop manual and it shows an injector diagram. It shows an injector filter screen in the top of the injector. The manual says that if this screen clogged the injector...
Well, I got the fuel tank back in. New TRE Performance 255LPH fuel pump, new sending unit, new vent, new filler tube an new fuel filter. Bypassed the rail pump. Fuel pressure comes up to nearly 40...
Got to the fitting with a crows foot. I was able to snug it up a bit, but still have a leak. I cleaned the area and it looks like it is leaking at the block. It looks like the only way to deal...
Change the engine and transmission oil, and ran seafoam through the fuel lines. I think I have the fuel lines pretty well cleaned up. Cranked the engine to get new oil through it and the turbo. ...
Well, my neighbor who restores 60's cars, said he could take care of restoring the tank for me ( he uses my Kubota to shovel droppings from livestock on a regular basis ). Waiting to see the results...
After getting a better look at the tank, I see there is a lot of rust. Thinking a new tank would save me a lot of time and future issues. Sometimes I wish I wasn't so anal.
Mike,
Is the tank you...
Unfortunately, I live in CA now.
Got started today. Confirmed that the in tank pump is dead. Also, I knew the fuel gauge was not working. Dropped the tank. That was fun. there was nearly 15...
This is my Starting Point.
Hope I added the pictures correctly.
Guess I need some practice. Have the firs picture twice and can't figure out how to delete it....
Love the red. My wife would kill me too, but I might be interested. Do you have any pics of the underside? This would put a kink in my current project, but such is life.
Cool. That is what I'm looking for. I'll take it. How much?
