I am stretching it here, but I believe there is a servo motor nearer the steering wheel which has two vacuum hoses going to it. My son had a stereo head unit installed and then began to have issues. I removed the radio and saw the servo to the left. His issue was a vacuum leak and was corrected when I reattached a hose which had been knocked off.

Mike, If you have the dash out, remove the tachometer. On the back will be 4 posts: "B" = battery [12 volts], "C" = coil [green wire from ignition coil], "G" = ground and "8" is a second ground used only for V8 applications. Temporarily hard wire the tach and with the engine running, see if the tachometer works. I bet it will! -
You can do it, Gary. I have installed three which I purchased from LMC.

Hmmm? Please take a photo of the carburetor on the driver's side. From what I can see, the carburetor currently on your truck does not have the feedback solenoid with two electrical wires. Your truck is a 1986, so should have one. Take a look at the distributor. Does it have a rubber vacuum hose connected to a cannister? Or, is there a grey plug with multiple wires? Photos #2 & 3 reflect someone disconnecting parts used for the choke, as has been mentioned by John, Gary and Jim. Here is a link to how the choke for a 1986 4.9L operates: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1110073-choke-adjustment-101-a.html Photo #2 is what remains of the insulated metal tube which is connected to the exhaust manifold and brings heated air to the choke housing. Photo #3 is originally connected to a red silicone vacuum hose which connects on the other end to the exhaust manifold. There is a tube which passes through the exhaust manifold to gain heat for the choke. The fitting on the carburetor supplies filtered make-up air to supply the hot air to the choke housing. Inside of the choke housing is a very small port which has small vacuum leak to draw in the heated air. The original carburetor is calibrated for this leak. I cannot remember what the vacuum hose is for in photo #4; probably emissions related. The "loop" in photo #5... there should be a vacuum hose connected to the rear of the sensor which originates at the vacuum tree which is on the intake manifold, close to the carburetor. The front part of the sensor should have a vacuum hose which connects to the servo on the air cleaner snorkle, which controls the incoming cold air. The snorkle has a flexible rectangular hose connecting it to the radiator support opening. On the bottom of the snorkle should be a 2" diameter hose connected to a shroud around the exhaust manifold [front 3 cylinders]. This supplies hot air and allows the sensor to mix hot and cold incoming air to assist in preventing carburetor icing.

Well, I'm trying to build this truck as cheaply as possible...lol, so one has to get creative. When I fixed up my '84, I found at that time that I could not buy a new core support in Canada. LMC has them for something like $169, and shipping within the US is cheap at like $29 bucks. However, shipping across the border the shipping was like $269 usd, and the whole works would end up being a $500-$600 bill for me, and I am for sure not spending that kind of coin on a truck like this one. Or go this route! https://www.ebay.com/itm/NOS-OEM-Ford-1983-1984-1985-Truck-Bronco-Radiator-Support-F150-F250-F350/124459443382?hash=item1cfa5c64b6:g:9ZUAAOSwvL1fd53E

WHYDTYTT: What Have You Done To Your Truck Today?
1986F150Six replied to Gary Lewis's topic in Bullnose Enthusiasts Forum
George, since "everything else is new", I assume the lower radiator hose was replaced? If so, did the replacement hose have a coiled spring in it? The original did and sometimes, the lower hose has been reported to collapse. Just thinking... -
