Did you need to replace the sensors or just use the existing ones?

I tried the search thing but didn't get far!
I want to put the 5lt and 4spd auto out of my 1993 Fairlane into my F100.
Is there an aftermarket system i should use and what costs would i be up for?
Would i be better off selling the motor and putting in a carby fed motor?
Carl.

There are a set of HID lights that are a copy of the Rally 4000 on Ebay for usually around $500-$600.
That is the pair complete!
They even come with Rally 4000 clear covers.
I'm keen to see how they would go.

You can buy an adaptor hose that will allow you to empty a BBQ Gas bottle into the LPG car type filler. From memory they're on ebay for about $50.
I think they normally call them decanters....
This will not empty your BBQ bottle but it will syphon LPG from one cylinder to the other until the ...

Just had a look, and it goes to a switch/solenoid of some sort that is bolted to the side of the battery tray.
It is wired up, but can't trace the wire as it disappears under the tray.
Must just have popped off yours?
When i had my 91 auto it had a vac switch for the cruise control.
