WTB air intake hose

IIRC, it's "perfect". I'll look at it harder tomorrow for you. You want it? Gotta buy the engine with it! AHAHAHAHAHAHA!

I can't really drive it around if I sell that off, where I can still move it if I pull the A/C compressor for Steve. I'd really like to sell the bulk of it in one piece, if you see what I mean. Right now, it's mobile.

I understand the idea of keeping it complete, but if that changes, I asked for it first.

Matt, did you ever find one? Mark says that a '82 LD28 plenum hose I supplied him for the "Autoworks Sedan" . . .

. . . . will not fit the '83. So an '83 plenum hose is needed.

I have one hose (maybe more). Not sure what year. Probably 82. Mom's DD is the only true 83 I have. I'll look into it. They are different in terms of the vacuum line supports molded into the hose, but I never noticed anything that would make them totally non interchangeable. I'll compare the two in the next few days, check what I have, and report back. Did Mark indicate the specific problem?

[asavage]

He says the '82 is "too short". Now you know what I know .

Hmmm, that is not a lot to go on, but good to know cause I could overlook that pretty easy. There would almost have to be something different about the throttle on the air filter housing for there to be length difference. If I can't supply the 83 hose, I might be able to supply the parts to make the 82 hose fit. We'll see...

[goglio704]

Yep, the 83 hose is longer. Yep, the difference is in the throttle for the EGR. Nope, I don't have an 83 hose, but I do have an 82 airbox with EGR throttle. In fact, I have 2. FWIW, good electrical tape will hold up for a pretty good while. My gasser conversion car is still taped. The engine is an 82, but the airbox and hose are 83. So, with this new news about intake hoses, I need one too - eventually.
