    Knock retard problem

    OK, today I re-torqued the knock sensor, replaced the intake air sensor and ran the engine until it came up to temp 180deg.. The KR is gone!! 00.

    Knock retard problem

    84 to 87 wiring issues

    Hi, I just finished a restoration of an 84 GN and installed an 87 engine, engine harness and computer. Of course there is no provision for the hydraboost brakes or the fans in the 84. Has anyone come up with a good work-around for this problem? Any ideas will be helpful. Thanks
