Re: ISO: Front and/or Rear Differential
A truck & trailer may be cheaper and easier in the long run.

Re: diagnosing high idle
I'd suspect a mechanical issue with the throttle plate/linkages instead of a vacuum leak with the rpm that high. Sort of like the fast idle cam is always stuck on. The FSM is available here (if you haven't found it yet). Pages FU19-23 are where I would start. The choke valve (butterfly) on top need...

Re: ISO: Front and/or Rear Differential
If you visit the similar, but not related, Facebook page, you might message jhanek szypulski or timothy thomas. Both are in Washington with multiple cars, a lot of connections and are pretty cool dudes.

Re: ISO: Front and/or Rear Differential
While I'm no expert on the automatic cars, I'm certain the gear ratio will be the same front and rear (unless a previous owner swapped a different ratio in, not uncommon on the M/T cars).

Re: ISO: Front and/or Rear Differential
Sabra, The automatic trans cars are not nearly as common and include different gear ratios than the M/T cars. I think the earliest A/T cars may have had a 3.73 gear ratio, but by 85' you should be running 3.909 I believe. If you have a little space, it would be easiest and most economical to purchas...

Re: diagnosing high idle
dirklc, When we installed the rebuilt carb, we labelled and reinstalled the vacuum lines as they were set on the carb we removed. With the age of these cars, I wouldn't trust the vac hoses were correct to start with. The procedure in the FSM isn't bad, I feel like mine is working nearly correct for ...

Re: My 87
Your links work. If I’m not mistaken, that is the one year only color that a lot of us like.

Re: Is this the correct cvs?
Hey Neu,
Yes, these appear to be the correct Trakmotive axles. Rock Auto has them for $51/each plus shipping, I would imagine it would work out pretty similar.

Re: Rear shock absorbers wearing out unusually fast
There are cheaper options for the front, look at Moog 81043.

Re: Rear shock absorbers wearing out unusually fast
I would guess your rear springs are allowing to much motion. I’m running the Pathfinder springs for lift and have a longer mono-shock. I think I have about 50k miles on the set up and I still like how it rides (more truck like).

Re: Repairing that awful fuel sender unit
Ala, I cleaned mine AND removed the swing arm "stop" so I could clean the backside of the contacting arm and bend it slightly to improve connection. So far, so good, now if I could say the same for my parts car tank (leaks) and the rust filling my fuel filters :). My low level light still ...
