1987 E350 Air Pump install
Hello All,
I recently acquired a 1987 Ford E350 Clubwagon with a 460, that was converted to 4x4 by Pathfinder. A previous owner deleted the thermactor system which consisted of a single air pump with a line going to the exhaust manifold, the vehicle was manufactured with no cats. I'm currently re-installing the air pump as required by my local emissions testing station (they told me to do it). I have installed the air pump, belt and hoses, and diverter valve. What I'm currently struggling with is the vacuum solenoid that controls the diverter valve. I need to wire it in and cannot find information on which color wires to use or where they originate.
Thanks for your help.
