Rebel526 Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Hello all! I have an '87 Pathy that I am working to bring back to life. Got it for a song, but it needed a lot of work. So far I have swapped a running motor for a blown one (both VG30i). While I had the motor out I had to take care of a rusted out drivers floor pan. This poor thing had been sitting for 6 years in a guys yard, so, as you can imagine it was not very impressive when it was dropped off in my yard, LOL. In fact, it was GREEN...but after a good wash, I discovered it's true color is silver! From this: To this: Currently, I have the 'new' motor running, though it's running at a VERY high idle, like 1500-2000. I know the vacuum lines aren't right and could use a good vacuum line layout if anyone has one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahardb0dy Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Welcome to NPORA, Some trucks have a vacuum line layout under the hood. Best bet for you would be to try and find a FSM from e-bay, they didn't go digital until 1994. I have the FSM for a 87 hardbody and can scan parts if you need them.
