You will be looking for one from a 1993-94. Note, do not attempt to remove the connector from the housing. It's very difficult to get the genie back in the bottle.

My buddy was able to open it up and resolder the connections and everything’s running smoothly now.

I finally got around to removing the oil pump cover to replace the O-ring. It started on a whim as I'm replacing all the power steering parts, I thought, well, there is a lot of space open here, we can give it a shot. I fully expected to have to drill a few out, but all of them came out no issue at all. I used a #3 JIS bit in my spall impact, and started slow, letting the impact tap a bit before I really released it, and they all spun right out like it was nothing. I did however, forget to take pics. Since I'm working on it again tomorrow, I'll get some of it, and the shiny new power steering parts and post them up.

I'm super happy at the moment.

No pics...oh I see. So it didn't really happen then Nice try.

Man, that sucks. Is everyone OK?

What happened!!!???

 

[Outsane]

Oof that's rough, hopefully no injuries

The throttle to pedal cable or the throttle to transmission cable? After trying to adjust mine I think I might be in need of the latter or both

From the pedal, both of my old cables were at their max adjustment, I will be doing the other cable too at some point.

You make me want to buy one, just because.

My 80 and my family celebrated Army beating Navy again. My son is West Point Class of 2016. He suffered through some lean years in that rivalry. I’m calling my 80 a good luck charm. The tide turned after I bought it.

Installed 20mm coil spacers to even out the rake a little

What's the total suspension setup then? Looks like Dobinson stuff? Liking the way it sits

Originally 2.5" front, 3" rear. So it's pretty close to level now with just a slight rake. I like how it sits too

I drove it home!

I’ve owned this ‘96 as a project for almost two years. Super cheap with a hole in the block. Long term intention is still to throw an LS in it, but when a 177k mile wreck popped up in Dallas, I decided to get “Eva” on the road. The donor wreck happened 12-13 years ago, so this engine has been sitting all that time. It sounds amazing anyway. Couple quick oil changes soon I think.
