Couple things I need if anyone is willing to part with them or has info on where to get them that would be great!

Sun Visors
VRV valve (dealer only?)
O-ring seal for locking hub D50
OEM tac for inst cluster (will bolt in place of decorative piece yes?)
Plastic cover for dome light

Thanks

I got a Sun Visor on my '90. I'm taking it off when I start striping the truck and won't go back on.

The tach will replace the decorative piece in the center of the cluster.
But the printed circuit on the back of the cluster will not have the tach circuits for the tach unless it is already installed.

The connector plug is the same on both.

The plastic cover/dome light is something I never thought to save out of the f150 I just scrapped, nor the interior sunvisors. I did keep the instrument cluster out of the dash, I'd have to look to see if it had a tach, but I think it did, though being for a 302 the RPM range I'm sure is different.

And, pardon my ignorance, what's a VRV valve?

VRV I believe is (Vacuum Regulator Valve)
It determines the shift points on the transmission.

Someone can correct me if i'm wrong.

I would call that a Vacuum Modulator.

The vacuum modulator is in the transmission.

On a gasser manifold vacuum varies by throttle opening.
But since a diesel has no manifold vacuum and has a pump instead, the vacuum regulator valve varies the vacuum to the modulator according to throttle position.

I know it's like $0.73 to get a letter to Canada bro how about shipping for a visor? Do you got two?

The tach will replace the decorative piece in the center of the cluster.
But the printed circuit on the back of the cluster will not have the tach circuits for the tach unless it is already installed.
Thanks I didn't think about the printed circuit thing. I want an after market set up but $$ is tight and I can't splurge on one for a while

I did keep the instrument cluster out of the dash, I'd have to look to see if it had a tach, but I think it did, though being for a 302 the RPM range I'm sure is different.
Can anybody verify the tach range?

Those minor accessories seem to be the hardest to find I didn't so much more then touch the light cover and from the bulb heat it was brittle enough to crumble into pieces.

The vacuum modulator is in the transmission.

On a gasser manifold vacuum varies by throttle opening.
But since a diesel has no manifold vacuum and has a pump instead, the vacuum regulator valve varies the vacuum to the modulator according to throttle position.
Correct. It's a spring loaded diaphragm on the side of the IP with two vacuum lines coming off of it

i have a junk yard im hitting up tomorrow probably if you need me to pick some stuff up.i can do that
thanks bro if there's a VRV that's what I'm most in need of. I keep fooling around with one I got and shifts are no good one way or the other. Haven't quite been able to find the sweet spot I guess. That would be cool if you could get some prices on any of that stuff if they got it and let me know. If it's cheap then ya score it and I'll paypal you.
