  1. Gotcha, I couldn't remember if the stock system primed or not. Yes, I believe 38psi is correct for the stock injectors. Southbay advertises their injectors as a "direct fit, compatible with the stock ECU" I wonder if that means they are designed to work at the lower pressure? Easy enough to try. On my 86 unplugging the MAF actually made it idle better, so I left it that way for years. 86 are a breed of their own. The IAT being unplugged should have caused a rich condition, but if you are already rich... Is the ground to the intake manifold still there and in good shape? I've seen grounding cause all sorts of weird issues. Probably not the likely culprit in your case, just something I thought about since a lot of sensors use that for a ground reference. You mentioned it smells rich. Have you pulled a plug to verify? Or noticed black smoke when you stab the throttle?
  2. 42psi is too high for the factory injectors. Sounds like you already know that though. Are you setting the FPR without a vacuum connected? Otherwise it will be too high. I don't remember if it will prime the pump when you turn on the key. Mine has been far from stock for a LONG time. That's one way to see pressure without starting the car if it will. Might require 2 people since even though pressure shouldn't bleed off quickly it will still drop.
  3. Intake to the MAP should be fine. I ran my 86 like that for years because, like most, I broke a nipple off that solenoid. I don't remember what other line comes off that. Should be a diagram under your hood to chase it down, then decide if it needs a vac reference.
  4. Good deal. Sounds like you have plenty to keep you busy! Congrats on the new house and garage! Man ... I kick myself for selling all that stuff off too. I should have stuck with the plan and 63/64 swapped the Valencia car. It would probably be running now if I had. Still have the LS on the stand waiting for a home though. My problem is I bought an 86 944 that took a lot of time and $$ to get on par. Driving the wheels off it now though! Not to mention it's been hot as Hades lately!! That makes garage work slow
  5. Sounds like you have a good plan. Just FYI, I used a gas tank kit from KBS coatings many years ago and it has been great! There are lots of solutions there though. Image links aren't working for me
  6. Congrats and Welcome aboard! πŸ₯³ Let's see some interior pics. I agree that year digital dash and all the sounds it makes are pretty cool! We are here to help you on this journey! P.S. Also an Electrical Engineer here with a title of Controls Engineer. Lots of PLC and Robotic coding for me, among MANY other tasks
  7. If it's just once after sitting like that, I might never have noticed. I feel your pain about going into a fresh build though. After one of my rebuilds it would let a puff of smoke when I spiked the go pedal or let off abruptly. Then after it drove for a bit the symptoms seemed to go away. Upon investigating I found that I did not have one of the valve stem seals properly seated and it made contact. The damage was not obvious without really looking. I only found it when advice from others (may have been Shelby) said to just change the seals. Low and behold, operator error on my end. Definitely interested to see what you find out.
  8. He is talking about the paper sticker that shows all the vehicle specs, options, MPG ... etc. Good to know you have a vinyl printer though. Never know what I may want printed πŸ˜‰
  9. I did that the first time thinking, it can't be that heavy, I have room. Then I was stuck with a trans on my chest and no room to slide myself out with the trans. I did NOT have room and it was heavy enough to be difficult. Lessons were learned πŸ™‚Floor jack is 100% the way to go. Even easier if you have a low profile jack.
  10. Just do it. Then report back πŸ˜ƒ
  11. Nope. Time to pull it apart and replace some parts
  12. Pretty sure I have good front inserts and a set of rear struts I'd be willing to part with if you're interested. I believe the fronts are KYB and the rear are Mookeeh
  13. "This listing was ended by the seller on Mon, May 26 at 12:52 PM because the item is no longer available." Well, that's interesting
  14. If I was closer I'd come fill the truck! Edit: I didn't know you sold the car, quitter! 😁
  15. Let's hope they show off at least one SQ!
