  1. Most of the parts from the 86 will fit your 1990. To use the engine you'll have to use the intake manifold off your 1990 but the rest of the engine is basically the same. The body panels will fit your car, however the plastic trim on the fenders and doors of the 86 is stuck on with adhesive where yours pops on with little plastic clips. You'll have to either live with the mismatched trim, drill holes for yours, or remove the clips from your trim and stick it on with mounting tape. Corner lights and bumper have a slightly different appearance but will fit. Not sure about the power window switches as I've never had to swap one of those out.

     

    Also, that dual range 5-speed bolts right in, all you'll need to make it work other than the shifters are the center console trim pieces from the 86. 

     

    Trim is no big deal, I do body and paint work.

     

    And yes Im planning on using the dual range when I swap motors

  2. Ok Ive been trying to search. But no definate answers. Im sure they're answered but I cant find them. I have a 90 Loyale with Push button 4wd. Need some body parts and really wanted to find another motor to freshen up when mine finally gives up the ghost (400k) I found an 86 Parts car. I found lots of posts referring to similarities 87-94 But not much on the 86. The 86 is Dual Range, 5 speed. All I have is one picture and not much details. Im assuming 86 is Carb'd? Would all my SPFI stuff bolt onto this motor? Theres supposed to be an extra unknown motor in the back of the car too. Body panels. I need fender, door and corner lights. And possibly the bumper. I know the bumper is different but can I swap it onto my 90? Also will power window connections be the same connector on an 86 vs a 90? Thanks in advance!

  3. I know a lot of you guys were helping me on my other topic I'm still working on a lot of stuff so if this could be a possible wiring issue I might find it as I'm fixing a lot of the wiring.Anyway my fuel gauge reads all the way past E and my light stays on for low fuel I have been reading and I noticed that it says that it is two separate wires for the light and the guage the fact that mine are both on kind of confuses me. Do you think I have more electrical issues behind the dash or should I go ahead and pull the panel in the trunk and check out the sending unit first?

  4. I had checked all fuses I thought were related. But somehow not that one. It was popped. Put a new one in. Got door chime and radio working. Put some gas in the tb turned the key. It def sounded diff then before but the battery died after a few cranks. Tomorrow is a new day I suppose. Battery is on the charger. I will feel so dumb if it was just that. But quite honestly everything I've replaced needed attention and the wiring has to be cleaned up correctly to my standards
