Interesting. The factory I work at actually produces pure, cystallized citric acid... might need to take some home from the lab for a little testing!

Some more from today, she's finally in the garage. With Tom's bike out, my CUCV is the new project priority. No more laying in the mud and getting spiders and bugs all over me hahaha. It's good to have good friends. Hope y'all are having a fantastic weekend too.

You're the best man, appreciate you.

Thanks again ezgn, that's what I thought. Need a new one (gp temp sensor) just needed to be sure what to get

Thanks for the assist today @ezgn Got some more questions came up while we're looking at everything (and waiting for valve cover and air cleaner paint to dry) What is this stalk thing at the top of the block in the back? And what is that plug to the right of it (back cylinder driver side...

Some update pictures: got the old harness out, intake off, fuel lines off. Working on injectors and glow plugs now.

That's exactly what it is. Thanks ezgn! Side question: anybody know what kind of socket to get injectors out? Even our big boys in the garage don't fit. Is it specialty?

Morning everybody. Happy Saturday. We're taking the intake off and valve covet gaskets today and we ran into this: What is the broken part called? The tubing was all rotted and broke off. It looks fuel related. Gonna need to replace it

It could be aftermarket, he has two block LEDs on the grille guard, but it looked pretty damn original in terms of wear. I will look more into it tomorrow, it doesn't seem important to getting the old girl running again. My buddy Tom traced it today and swore to me it went up into the left...

@ DIVE - the wire I'm talking about is a little tough to see here, but it's to the left of the two hardlines coming off the radiator and over the frame, just in front of the PS pump pulley (bottom left corner of image). The wire runs along the driver side fender then down and over that frame...

Appreciate it DIVE, looks like I was on the right track. Luckily I knew where they went from tracing, I just had them backwards for what they did. No idea where to even start with the glow plug relay wires, might pull both ends, from the relay to the brain, measure the wires, gauge them, then...

Good afternoon everyone, Hope y'all are having a good Memorial Day weekend. Definitely going to take some time today to sit and reflect on our veterans while I wrench on the old '86. 1) Yesterday I started labeling the new engine wiring harness, I got a majority of it done. I could not figure...

Hey NC friends! I'm Jack, I live in Leland over near Wilmington. Pleasure to meet y'all.

I was using the TM part numbers and looking it up, but was coming up empty. Figured I'd ask and see if anybody knew the Spicer equivalent part numbers. I will go back into the TMs and do some more research when I get home.

Thanks Dive Dive, The part of the bracket that's broken, looking at your picture, would be the left wing. It's probably broken off 1-2" from the very end. I'm going to pull the pump out, it doesn't look like it's in very good shape to begin with, it looks like it's been leaking everywhere, but...

That would actually help a lot man, thanks. I know the guy has some aftermarket button left of the steering wheel to activate the glow plugs. That might be why that thin orange wire isn't making sense to us right now. I'll take a look when I get back over there tomorrow and see if I can find...

Yeah I don't think longer would contact anything, it reaches out and up toward the steering arm. You're following me correctly, it's a loop part, the top end of it is broken off. Bolt would come out of the pump, through the bracket loop, and a nut would tighten it to the bracket from the front...

Are you sure that long orange wire with the block bracket is glow plug related? In the picture it's the one in the center next to the coiled pink wire. The glow plugs already look there, the green wires coming out of the sheaths to each alternator. Edit: it's thin. A thin orange wire. Bout a...

That is a good point. The boys I work with frequently engage their safety squints haha. We've got glasses in the garage though. Definitely don't want to catch hot metal shrapnel in the eye

I could take it out and weld the end piece back on... that is a possibility for sure. I just dont know how long of a piece to weld on, not sure how much of it snapped off. Looks like the top part of the swinging part, where you can loosen the nut and swing the pump in and out to adjust the...
