Hello,
I have inherited an '85 Ranger with a 2.8 V6. It has been modified to replace the original feedback carb with a 2150 (it looks like this one is for an automatic transmission, but the truck is a manual).
The ignition has also been switched over to HEI.
I am not very mechanically inclined. Sorry if the answer to the following question is obvious:
What is this part that seems to be unhooked? It looks like it goes into the cat.
And what is this big open pipe?
Am I correct that it's coming out of the exhaust manifold? But why would it go up and not down? Is it EGR related? I think the old owner stripped out a lot of emissions stuff when he switched it over to the 2150. Should it be covered with some sort of plate?
Thank you in advance for any insight you can provide.
