Like title says. I'm looking at an 86 D 100 long bed on Ebay; its not close enuf to go see prior to placing a bid. Were the non Cali models feedback controlled that year? (O2 sensor, etc) IF I got this thing (am awaiting contact from seller) I'd probably bring the parts to swap over to std EI on the road, in case it took a crap along the road. I mean, its 22 years old; someone might have already taken care of that by now. I sold my 97 Ram 1500, 4 WD a few days ago, and am looking "cheap" as a replacement for it. |

According to the FPC, it looks like only the California '86s were feedback-equipped (with Holley 6145 carb and O2 sensor). Federal/Canada trucks used a 1945. However, all '86s would've been Lean Burn equipped. |

I cringe when I go looking for EI distributors at yards, I sometimes ask chain places if their sister yards might have something... usually they say..."Yeah we got a couple of 1985 /6 vans with EI distributors...."Good luck on your hunt, I figured if I could fine one I'd love to get a Plymouth Truck, just so I could stay 'branded' with my cars...  -D.Idiot |

I think Plymouth stopped putting their name on a truck in ~'83; they had the trailduster and their full sized van was the Voyager. Right now I'm just "thinking" on these 2 trucks I'm considering; one thing I am thinking is that it would be cheaper to put my kid on something like this when he gets licensed as far as insurance goes, than either of the Jeeps; something that I would not be afraid to "just" carry liability on. |
