    Codes and Boost Guage

    On the codes, that's what I thought but just wanted to be sure We found the plug to the boost pressure monitor was unplugged. The guage now reads -4 at idle but does not move under load

    headlight/wiper stalks

    So if you put your 89 cruise hub onto an 87 stalk, how did you attach the 89's 4-prong cruise hub to the 87's 3-prong stalk? And what do you mean when you said you pinned out the connections? Do you know which 3 prongs I should connect the 87's cruise hub on the 89's stalk? Thanks...

    Vaccum line....please identify!

    Thanks, I'll make sure the harness is repositioned when I put the motor back in. The wiring harness is supposed to run inside the intake manifold and under the throttle body, right? I'm almost ready to install the motor after a rebuild. MDC...do you know how much knock sensors go for...
