    Will an ignition switch go all out or what?

    The only reason I brought up about the mechanism in the column is that mine broke. I hope you have some luck. As far as the key switch goes, they can be tricky. Mine was tough like that. I pushed the button, turned the key to on(with the batteries disconnected), then had to kind of pry with a...

    Factory ford turbo

    I'm not using the glow plug relay. I just use a PB on the dash for about 3 secs. Headbolts? I'm not looking for tons of boost. Does it make a big difference?

    IDI Tach install?

    Very helpful Info I see that you have a 3" down pipe. The turbo setup I purchased has the original crushed one. Were you able to fit the 3" just because you have a body lift?

    IDI Tach install?

    I have a question for all of the IDI Vets out there. My 1985 F250 IDI did not come with a factory tach and I would really like to have one installed that looks factory. So I when I went to the local yard to remove a 1993 factory turbo I searched for a factory tach, all I could find was gasser...
