Secondary air intake
95 4.9L, anyone heard of this part. It's a metal tube that has six tubes comming off it which thread into each cylinder head. On one end of the long tube there is a big diaphram.
Doing a rebuild and this thing got mangled.

tpntx,
the description of the part seems to indicate the intake manifold. Aluminum material, (6) plenum tubes running 1 each to each cylinder. The throttle body (efi) will be attached to the manifold plenum box, (that bid rectangle mass on top) which will then have your air box tube(s), and then finally the airbox with your air filter. If this decription does not sound like your part, we will need more info,
Good luck!

heres a pic
thats probably it A.I.R.
All the ford guy could figure from my desc. was Secondary Air Intake. He even gave me a price 200.00+.
So far this part only comes from ford Im checking salvage yards on line today. I just had to buy a lower manifold because the one on it had the ears broken. Luckily it was only 65.00.
Thanks for your help.

That is the A.I.R injection rail for emissions control. That thing you call a diaphram is actually a check valve. It should be attached to the exhaust manifold and not the intake.

Man! no one has it. even ford has to order it. My brother really f'd that thing up trying to get it loose. It was pretty much rusted in place.
Any tips on a salvage yard I might try. I have several and they all say no way. It' a 230.00 pipe!
thanks again.

I attempted to remove mine during the overhaul and when one of the fittings started to round off, I left it alone. I knew that Ford would be the only one to have it and their prices are sky high. I had to buy the pipe for the EGR valve and that alone was $80.

Try a different year. It's called an air injection crossover pipe. You'll find it listed in the emissions sub-section. I was able to find in the 1988 listing. This part should be the same for all 87-96.
