ok, so i'm pretty much hung up on the vacuum lines with my 2.3 and i've come to the conclusion that my 87 has an 84 motor in it. i was wondering if anyone could post some pictures of the vac lines or post an 84 diagram.

i havn't been able to find anything to copy off at the junk yard.

Where you the one having difficulty accessing the library link? I'm pretty sure there is a vac diagram there, but I haven't checked lately...if so, then maybe someone else has a pic for you...

The older they get, the less likely that someone has an original setup...meaning you may need to consider a modification that is more in tune with eliminating the emission controls and settle for a vehicle that runs and is not saddled by excessive systems...

The only vacuum lines my 88 has left on it is for the power brakes, and the pcv valve, I did away with all the other useless vacuum lines.

Yes, and I remember the pics you posted of your setup...it was very clean...even cleaner than mine...do you have a pic you could show for this thread because I think it might help him make a decision...i'd post mine but it's complicated compared to yours...

wow. thats possible? if your truck runs properly then post up a pic!!! i'd love to check that out seeing how i dont even have power brakes or anything.

i want to go with the minimalist theme beacuse it is only a bush truck and 2wd at that so i want to be able to repair it easily on the road.
