Hi All,
well I've decided to revive/get running my 86 2R BWD, 4GF207907, "Wingless". It's been sitting in storage for a few years and since my 83 Capri isn't cutting it as a DD i decided to get this one running again. It really just needs some assembly, a motor, gearbox, computer, exhaust and brake refresh. Cosmetics aren't the first priority and neither is performance. Just looking to build a nice economical daily driver. I have pretty much all the parts i need in inventory.
I'm Currently parting out the wrecked 84 1C t-top that I bought last year, pics to come, and was thinking I could use the driveline from this car, only 108K miles, to get the car running. It's a complete car that I actually managed to get to run by feeding fuel into the fpr vacuum port. I think the fuel pumps failed or there was a kinked fuel line from the rear 1/4 damage.
My only real concern is the compatability of the electronics. I'm gonna use the 84 computer, 30# injectors and intake. THe 86 has all it's original wiring and I'm wondering what may or may not work. I do intend to eventually swap to a PE, 35# injectors and square manifold but till then?????????
Any advice appreciated.
