YAY!!! I was told today that the engines arrived yesterday!
Of course I had to run right down and look at them. PURDY!
Non turbo though. :-P Looks pretty easy to adapt to the
manifold outlet and go though. :-) Even has an oil return.
This leads to one oddity that I need help identifying.
On the back of the alternator is a pump of some sort with
a return line to the pan and a banjo bolt connection to the
side of the block. There's one cut off hose and a small, vacuum
sized hose as well.
Pan is VERY shallow so fit should be very easy. One came with a
clutch fan and lower flywheel cover. The other, no fan but the behind
the flex plate actually, plate. Both came with starter, alt, PS pump,
A/C bracket I presume, IP of course. There's a throttle position sensor
but nothing else seems to be electric except maybe a fast idle solenoid
and the stop solenoid. :-) They even have a cruise control diaphragm
on them.
If anybody can identify that pump and or find me a book that covers
that engine (regardless of car) that'd be great. Of course I'm not likely
to find anything in the US for it. I can't hardly find anything about it on
the internet!
So to y'all overseas members (maybe Canadians too?) HELP!!! :-)
