Illustrations and part numbers for the thermactor systems used in the 1980 - 86 Ford trucks. Also known as the Air Injection Reaction system.

Examples of the specific items would be the air pump pump itself, 9A486 in the illustrations, and the valve assembly, 9B289 & 9A487 in the illustrations. And examples of the common items would include the gasket (9F429) and the hose (9B466).
