need help identifying parts in motor install

[Gunter]

jmitro,

IMHO, you'll have to make a choice to either run this engine with '83 CIS components or the much easier '78-'79 non-Lambda CIS.

If you stick with '83, you'll need a bunch of stuff and extra wiring because it'll NOT run without the components to control the Lambda CIS. The FV simply doesn't function without the ECU; plus there are a few extras for '83 like the additional Acceleration Enrichment Control Unit attached to the ECU, the 35 deg Temperature Switch, an additional Micro Switch, OX sensor in the CAT (Exhaust) etc. and all need to be wired.........................

My advise would be to sell the complete '83 Lambda CIS, find a non-Lambda '78-'79, bore out the heads for the larger intakes and have a much easier time adjusting and maintaining.

Question: Do you have the Bentley SC Repair Manual? If not, get it because it'll really help; lots of pix plus diagrams for electrical, fuel and vacuum lines.

I ordered a Bentley.

Thanks for the advice. That's a bit disappointing to hear. Sounds like a lot of extra work. When you say "non-lambda CIS" are you referring to essentially everything from the intake manifold tubes upwards, including all the injectors, vacuum lines, airbox, etc. ?

Yep, the complete CIS.

Either way, with Lambda or without, you're looking at a lot of work.

If you go with a non-Lambda CIS, remove the engine and put it on a stand. Unbolt the intake runners from the heads, (2 bolts per runner), remove the nuts on the 2 support brackets for the airbox, disconnect respective wires and lines, lift the whole CIS up; it takes a little wiggling.

The heads on a '83 have small intake ports and need to be bored out a little to match the larger intake runners coming with the non-Lambda CIS.
Meaning: the heads have to be send to a machine shop. Match-mark them when removing.

You can buy and sell a complete CIS on Pelican.

If you want to stay with your current Lambda CIS, as said before, a lot more components are needed plus wiring plus know-how to make it run.

When you get the Bentley, you'll see that it takes a lot of reading to understand how a Bosch K-Jetronic CIS works. The idea of just installing an engine, connect wires and lines, and start up seldom works.

Some people convert to carbs; diffferent dynamics, costs and knowledge.

I like CIS, If it was me, I'd find a non-Lambda CIS, bore out the heads on the '83, remove the heater blower & ducts and go with SSI's, remove the A/C brackets etc. and make it a simple engine to maintain.
