    Non Turbo IDI Ford 1987 6.9 Rebuild

    Well this hole thing started when the old girl started missing on a couple of cylinders on the right bank last winter. But seeing how I'm retired and on SSI the budget is not what it should be.

    Yes! I've seen a couple of the mods for this setup but didn't have any of the stuff to do it or the time to run around. I have a house to finish before the snow flies. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using Tapatalk

    Just purchased F250 6.9
