That EGR is the same as the one I had on my 85 Cougar. Looks normal to me.:DThe wheels are very faded poly cast. I haven't seen many either. Quote Selected
1986 Thunderbird Reply #8 – August 14, 2010, 03:18:56 AM like i said,cali = odd.that is no standard factory EGR,, ask me how I know.all these cars met cafe standards during this eara and that is something of a local state code mod,, its just a friggin diverter valve monitored by an EVP sensor,, how simple could it get. I suppose cali could have mandated this, although its a first egr like that ive seen.looks like your average run of the mill 3.8 to me,,just as you would find on the east coast.smog pump, emissions solenoids under the coolant tank,,ect ect, nothing different other than that beffy lookin egr.

That EGR must be California fare. It was origonally purchased in Trona, Ca. at Van Dyk Ford. Now out of buisiness. Trona has about 1200 people and the Ford dealer only sold what was ordered. They never had cars in stock. They also sold Isuzus for a while. Quote Selected
1986 Thunderbird Reply #10 – August 25, 2010, 04:27:58 PM Gee, I guess you all are going to make me keep it. I was hoping to get back down to three cars. The MN-12 is first in line for repair. Everything works except the front end is wore out. Quote Selected

1986 Thunderbird Reply #13 – August 25, 2010, 08:03:34 PM Quote from: tbirdsps;333433Looking at your picture you must be going for a six pac?:DActually, I sold the black one after I put the XR7 together and even though its the same it isnt a T Bird and I am trying to learn to like it. By the way I have the same egr set up on the 83 here and it came from CA also so I would guess your right with your thought on CA emissions. I will try to find out in the next day or so on shipping Quote Selected
