    Loss of Power, Possible IP/Injector Issue

    Just a thought, but make sure your exhaust is not plugged. And no restrictions in your fuel line going to the motor. Mechanical fuel pump works properly

    Fuel Filter Mystery

    Preferred brand for power steering pump?

    I Picked up a Siganaw pump from an 87 van, gives better psi than a Ford pump, and rebuilt it for 12 bucks, simple hand tools. An o-ring, for the reseviour, and a shaft seal, and bushing I think. works great and been a couple years use.

    Aluminum radiator upgrade

    After driving for a week, its been very good. I have a Gates water pump arriving wednesday. Shafts wiggling, bearing is shot. Not leaking coolant and, im not driving it like that and taking a chance. Fan coming off and digging into the rad would suck big time

    Here I sit all broken hearted ...

    Im not sure your problem is injectors, id pull them, take each one apart, clean them, and install new copper washers on the bottom ends using a dab of grease before dropping them back in.

    Aluminum radiator upgrade

    I ordered the wrong radiator so its on its way back. I ordered a cc395, instead of a cc433. A result of to many tabs open, anxiety of using my left side of my brain, and just plane age. to small, width wise especially. I ordered a 3 core, minium. to make up for being 5 inches shorter than my...
