I would recommend commiting to ordering all the parts from @beno if you’re going to seek technical expertise/advice. He earns a living as a consultant and parts supplier. From my perspective, if I spend a little more on parts from him it’s worth the knowledge that comes with it. Just my $0.02. Nice truck by the way
RM-183E seems to be one of the hardest manuals to find as a physical copy.
I second this. Beno has put up with me many times over technical questions I have and no matter how stupid they may be to him, he has answered them for me.
Ditto for me. I placed what to me seemed to be a big order (probably small compared to what others might spend with him) for all the maintenance/replacement items he recommended and working at a snail's pace got plenty of advice from him a few years later when I finally got around to doing the work. This sort of customer support is priceless.
I purchased that blue & white engine manual also from ebay also before I did my Injection Pump removal and installation on my 1PZ. Pricey but well worth it. Seems like it was the same ebay seller too.

1. It's either vacuum line or the VSV bad.
2. That sounds like a gasket is bad, or sealing surface issues between turbo and manifold. Is yours a "new/rebuilt" turbo, or did they just rebuild your exact one? Not sure if they mill the surface or not.
3. I remember you said you had melted wires or issues when you went to start it with the glow screen. My guess is it's faulting if you haven't fixed this yes. It probably thinks it's always too cold thus turning on the light.
I would make sure there isn't anything on the threads. I'm not sure if teflon tape is the best to use. I would make sure it can't ball up or get into the fuel system at all. They do make liquid sealers that are gas/diesel resistant. I would leave the bottom 1.5~2 threads clean then light seal on the others. Is that a tapered/brass fitting or?
Out with the old (previously installed by the resurrected guys) ...... In with the new.

Some super cool stuff arrived from Australia on Friday......immediately popped the overhead console in since we were headed to Daytona for the Rolex 24 hour race in the 79 this weekend. Console is ridiculously nice and the touch light LEDs are way cool. Very very pleased....

Required one small hole above the mirror to feed the wires for the touch lights thru.....everything bolts up without any other mods.

Obviously it was pretty epic because they even got some TV coverage....
The cool kids know where to hang.......well, I have a Rolex, but no 79 (yet).

Chris - Forgive if I missed it but have you a link to share for the vendor?
Thans!
We're bringing them in....worked with the vendor to get them here. They wanted me to test fit one to make sure there were no issues with fitment. Let me know if you're interested in one. I have one extra in "inventory"....don't mind selling it to you. It's for my next build which is a ways out....
