Valve cover = 7-54J-R05

87' 302.

What did you need it for?

It that on the under hood permanent sticker? If so I do.

it was actually part of my original intake, i would try a junk yard and buy the whole assebly that way you get the tubes too.

That's what I did;
I ordered a 87-91 F150 instrument cluster with tachometer off eBay and installed it, Ford already wired it for a tachometer, it's a plug and play type.

The tachometer in the instrument cluster you installed should have worked, but apparently something was wrong with it before you installed the cluster.

I looked on eBay this morning and didn't see one listed w/tach.

Thanks for the compliment!

Hey, Nice truck!!!

Maybe you can help me out with some mods I am trying to do on my 87. I noticed you had a tach, did that come stock or did you put in a new cluster. Mine don't have one and I would really like to have one. I pulled one out of a 91 and put it in mine but the tach did not work.

Factory.

I can get a better pic of the whole thing tomorrow if you want.

Boneyard! Be sure to check rangers, F-series, broncos, & possibly E-series of that vintage too. I'm guessing 87'-89', maybe 90" & later. You live somewhere where it gets cold part of the year?

Oh that's a heat collector. no exhaust actually mixes w/ the intake air. when that diverter is open, air is drawn across the manifolds & mixes w/ the intake air. I remember you now. What year? You need the collector & the elbow?

Doesn't make sense. The colder the air intake, the better.Cooler air develops more horsepower w/ less residual cylinder temp increase. Is it some type of cold climate use item?

Sorry, ya got me on that one!
