I'll see if I can get you some pics on Thursday - (later today) I'ts
pretty simple. Hooks up to the linkage on the throttle body, and
connects to the kick down lever on the trans.
As for the engine - let it warm up real good before you take it out for
a test drive. A compression test wouldn't hurt either. Also - would be
a good idea to do another oil change after a few hundrid miles. An
engine that has been sitting (especially for 3 years outside) can
develop some surface rust on the cyl walls - if it wasnt lubed prior to
storage. When the pistons start to scrape that off, it can get into the
oil.
Prolly wouldnt hurt to do the rest of the fluids (diffs, transfercase,
tranny)
