C.Jett Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 85 F150 SB Carb 4.9 How to install gauge to check fuel pressure? New fuel pump, supposed to be correct fuel pressure. EGR valve installed. Installed 2, 1/4” spacers between carb and EGR valve. Single gasket between carb and Intake. CJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just reached a milestone on Dec 24, 83 yrs OLD….. That’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it! So, do I have the gaskets correct? Thanks Jim.

C.Jett Posted January 6 Author Share Posted January 6 Okay, here's an exploded view with the 9447 gaskets on either side of the EGR plate under the carb. Thanks for the wishes Jim and the help. Does 9a589 represent spacer or EGR ? Doesn’t look like my EGR. So I don’t need the 2 1/4” gaskets at carb? CJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJ 9a589 is a generic part# for the spacer under the carb. (these sketches are deliberately universal) I can look for the specific part for your truck in a bit (I know Gary is busy) But right now I'm collecting a wreck on the side of a highway.. 😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
