Looks like 2wd.

Based on my experiences with the fed emissions, if you unplug the ecu the car won't idle (it'l run tho.)

Only one? $2.50 ea. (plus the ride from 21209.) Where are you located?

Itoo suspect bottom end failure (compression rings, pistons, or cyl. bores.) A cylinder leak-down test should let you know for sure. Only other possibility i can think of is plugged baffle in valve cover (unlikely.)

Good luck.

Let me know what it would take to get it.

you're gonna need the rear diff too ('83's had 3.73 gears- '86's had 4.10 gears.)

I installed the m/t cut out from the underside because it was actually 2 layers of metal thick and wouldn't mate up real well with a/t floorpan if installed on top. Also, there's only about 1/4" clearance between the shifter console and the radio surround panel in the original configuration and...

Kinda manuvered the m/t piece around till it went thru the hole in the trans tunnel. As for the clutch switch, the '83 donor vehicle never had one (never liked them anyway- i bypassed the switch on my '88- never can tell when you might want the option of engaging the starter while in gear- ie gettin...

marlinh- I didn't notice a width diff in the main floorpans- only the very top portion of the tunnel. I had the carpets out of both cars (actually swapped them- the good car had been sitting for 9 years and the mice had made meais or nests out of parts of the carpet.) Anyway, i cut the top portion o...

I completed the 'sex change' operation on my '87 a/t car a couple months ago. Like you noted, the a/t floorpan seemed too "wimpy" to support the 4wd shifter and the whole top of the floorpan was shaped differently, so i cut it out of the donor car and screwed and glued it into the '87. The...

Got my two yesterday- looks like they'll work just fine. Thinking of installing one in my '83 and setting the timing at full advance (45-47 degrees with full vac and mechanical advance in.) Don't think i'll have a ping problem since i've always run premium gas.

Any thoughts?

All that stuff looks like it's for an '87 sedan (gen 3- transverse mounted engine.) Won't fit our cars.

Looks like they're all gone!!

Most likely, the unknown wire is the feed for the tach. My money's on a defective rebuilt dizzy (never did much care for rebuilt parts- would much rather have used OE.) One thing i really like about our cars is the whole ignition system is inside the dizzy- i always carry a spare whenever i'm doing ...

185/70-14 also fit without rubbing (with stock suspension)- throws the odo off by about 7% with the higher profile.

I'm parting out a rusty gold '84 sr5and let's see..,
Yes.
Which door panel?
Yes.
No (keeping inclometer.)
If you mean dashpad- yes.
Yes, but rusty.

I'm in baltimore MD, so shipping could get pricey- let me know. Rich.
