Or just buy one of everything, get home and figure out which one works, then return the rest.

Haha, I have a box at the bottom of my work bench full of new parts along with receipts, it's almost like a bank account that I'm saving up, so I can return all at the same time when I need an expensive part

I recently took that exact approach when installing black iron piping for some gas lines in my house... returned over $80 worth of stuff I didn't use.

What is the large black canister in the third photo above? It has a diconnected vacuum line has well. Seems like lots of things that I can remove since the previous owner liked to cut everything up

Truck did at one point. It would have had a horn pad with switches on it, an electronic box under the dash, a sensor in the speedo cable, and that servo hooked to the throttle.

Well if you end up getting rid of it let me know. Mine is all rusted out and useless.

If you do indeed have the buttons on the steering wheel still it probably wouldn't be too hard to hook back up though.

More nasty engine pictures




What port is the cracked cap covering? What about the two pretty bolt plugs?





this vacuum port is unplugged and pulling a vacuum. If i plug it with my finger, idle slows down... obviously not good I think





The above line comes from here...
