WOW! I actually use to use one of those! I'm only 40 years old I swear!
I used to work at an MG restoration shop in Ada Mi. We would rebuild and remanufacture and tune all kinds of Pre 1980s British sports cars. MGs, jaguar, austil Healy, rolls Royce,...all the way back to 1929 invictas. Used the old sun machine to tune spark advance curves and ship distributors and carbs all over the world!

One switch, one window. That kinda thing
Because the harness wiring is in the truck I've met people that thought just adding the whatever would be enough for the whatever to work. That's not the way it is though as you already know.

That's a nice blast from the past. Is this an estate for sale with everything?

yes I have done my do diligence so to speak. Research and whatnot. At this point it’s just about getting it done before I go back to college and won’t have the place to work on it

Rivers, it looks like I have that same thing already. What I want is the setup to relocate it behind the bumper.

I appreciate the gesture, but that looks like the same thing.... and mine looks like it's starting to seep a bit now.

Took to the underhood of the 88 today.... planning on swapping the harness tomorrow to MAF, and hopefully tidying it up a bit. I'm going to rip all of the thermactor garbage out of there too, but I need to remember which one runs EGR and leave it.

My 9 year old wrote "Be Strong" or something on the driveway. LOL...

But yes, it does have a name. Frankie the Fox, because this is going to be one hell of a Frankenstein job when I'm done.

Just the dollar store stuff, and yes... Simple Green.
