RE: [tuner23] AIr Temp Sensor?

["Brad Anesi" <brad.anesi@netiq.com>]

Chad-  Only the '87/8 TC's had the provision for an ACT, so either you
didn't get a '87/88 motor, or someone swapped out the intake from an earlier
motor or an XR.  Assuming the threaded hole isn't for the KS, my guess is
that you have an XR lower with the 3/8" (?) NPT fitting for the temp gauge
sender.

Regardless, you can run with the ACT disconnected without any significant
effect.  In light of the fact that you have a big IC, I'd just attach the
ACT to the quick-connector and let it sit in a relatively cool area of the
engine bay.

Okay here is what i have,  93 mustang, Built 87 turbo
coupe engine, 5.7 rods, big valve head, gutted intake,
3"dp, huge front mount spearco, LA3 ecu.  blah, blah,
blah.  just got it running, runs great, here is the
problem. I went to screw the air temp sensor into the
intake, and the hole is half the size of the sensor. 
so i dont know what this lower intake came off of. 
ive got a couple xr lowers,  some have the big hole
and some dont have a hole at all.  so my question is. 
what is this intake off of?  and how wil the car run
with the sensor not hooked up at all?  plug just
hanging.  I am eventually going to dril and tap the
upper for the sensor.  and another stupid question i
have is how are you supposed to use a timing light to
set the timing with an underdrive crank pulley(racer
Walsh)  there are no notches like the stock crank,
just timing marks on the front a full 360.  i guess i
could put the stock pulley back on then set the
timing.  but i wanted to put the notches on the
underdrive so i dont have to swap it everytime i want
to set the timng.
