Default engine externals help..including tune port MPFI help??

Ok, Im looking for some good advice or at least a source to reference putting my 1987's external engine parts together.
The story is, I got this car from a guy who thought the car was going to be repo'ed. So he tore off every thing he could, well when the time came they didnt take the car but he had no clue how to put it back together.
So this is now my problem, I need some torque spec's detailed pictures and some wiring schematics to reassemble this rat nest of oxygen sensors, tuneport pipes, MPFI lines and electrical connections plus all the fixings like which bracket goes to what whole for the rigged a/c unit or alternatator? The dude also ripped out the wiring harness so thats a new headache.....!

So anyone with some info or luck send it my way, i need some!! thanks

Hi,

I have made a few Photo docs of my 86' for mods/repairs. I don't know how close the 86' and 87' are for your purposes, but since my photos are online you can see if they can be of any help.

As you get to the point where you have specific questions, I am sure someone here can provide you with the info you need.

Here is a link to my photo doc page:

A location in your signature or whatever might help.
If you were nearby I would let you inspect my son's 87 and try to help you out.
Wonder why so many posters think that is secret info?

The Haynes manuals have a decent amount of Torque specs in them, but it is just the one book for all C4's.

You may want to look into getting a shop manual for your year. I have one and it definitely goes beyond the haynes manual. Plus it is nice having something that is truly specific to your vehicle.

As for tubing routing, what bolt goes where, etc, just take pics and post them here with your questions, and you should get the info you need.
