From: HouTexFrk-at-aol.com Subject: fsj: air pump I am about to install a new performer intake, carb and headers. The main reason I am doing this is to improve gas mileage and power. The only thing i am really sketchy about is the air pump. i have done a little reading and the only really sense i can make out is that it forces air into the exhaust system to lower gases. when i take out all the emission crap (canister, egr, air pump) is that going to effect all my vacuum actuated controls i.e. 4x4 switch, heater controls, vacuum advance on distributor? I really would appreciate some info. Thanks the Swaganator ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 13 Feb 2003 06:50:18 -0600 From: "Vince Orr" Subject: fsj: Re: tach install...

On my '87, it is on the left of the steering wheel column, and sort of above the parking brake lever, under the dash. Both of my boxes are yellow plastic about 3" x 6" and 1" thick. The connector is on the narrow end and is a long thin connector with about .... oh 6 wires I'd guess without going out there and looking at mine.... Hope that helps.
