Somebody's been bombing MY truck...and IT'S STILL THERE!

...I think.

It's a 92 LE cc 5 speed 4x4, 165Kmi. 19.6 MPG, first tank. Guy I bought it from didn't seem to know much about it. I don't think he had it long, even though he led me to believe he had.

Sleuthing my turbo exhaust housing; In a box full of parts I got with my truck, was a turbo exhaust housing, in a box. The box has 16cm written in black sharpie on the label. The housing in the box clearly has 18.5 cast into it. The housing on my truck, aside from Holset, has 3521934, 18 D1, and 16 27 12 cast into it. None of these numbers match the part number on the label on the housing box. How do I know what housing it is?

Fuel mods? The fuel pump looks relatively new. It still has yellow paint on the adjustment screws...tattle tales? How can I tell if it's been adjusted?

My wait to start light always comes on, even when it's warm...?

Other than that, it has a K&N filter (soon to go, I think), and LOTS of extra leaves in the springs, which really need to go. It needs the front driveline rebuilt, and I need some door hinges (mysteryman?), it seems, and it has some rust to repair. I guess I need to check the KDP, unless someone from Alaska knows the truck and can confirm for me (It could happen...) It has a slight "wobble" at 45-50 mph, feels like right front tire. It does need decent wheels badly. I'd also like to do the 2nd gen seat swap.

Thanks for all the help so far...
John

PS. I'll try to get photos into readers rigs album while at work tomorrow. Dialup too slow. Had to sign up for DSL just to access all the stuff on TDR (jut kidding).

Edit; Ok, the pics are up. Here's the fuel pump...
