Title: '86 Manifold
Post by: millwoodva on November 23, 2011, 12:03:31 AM

My manifold is dry-rotted and leaks.
Can an '88+ RAD valve (any big benefit..?) be modified to fit or just get an OEM replacement..?

87+ are angled to clear the updated shock placement. It would take some modification to multiple parts to get it to fit and seal properly. 85-86 are straight. 85 has boost bottle and 4 bolts that hold it on the cylinder and 86 doesn't and has 6 bolts. Pretty much stuck with finding an 86 manifold on ebay or having JFab make you an aluminum one.

Hope this helps

Strangely enough I asked jfab about this (new 86 manifold in ally) a couple of weeks back. Will let you know what he says.otherwise, ebay or liquid rubber.K.
