I recently mount an EFI ignition box to the vertical mounting plate forward of the engine on the inboard side of the front suspension. The box is nearly invisible. I will send you a photo if needed.

The previous owner of AKL 1472 reply by email to me stating the car dealership received $120,000.00 for his MKIV..[:)]

I would say it is carb engine considering the model year. My MKIV also is a 1986 and was carb when I received it. Looks very original including the front bumperettes, the twin exhaust on one side only in 1986 and the engine bay. I contacted the dealer and emailed him a source for the courtesy light lens missing between the seats to make the car complete. I like the blacked out fender guards on this car. Very attractive with the green paint.
   
   He ask me if the price is reasonable. I told him we want every MKIV to sell for as much as possible. Think big!

The dealer told me the selling price was over $100,000.00 but would not give me an exact number. I have not heard from the previous owner.

   I emailed the owner of the MKIV that reportedly just sold and ask for the purchase price.

Dear Silty,
   
   Thank you for your reply. I greatly admire how eloquent you brits are with the language. As with the difference between our Lightweights and your Lightweights, so is our language. [;)]

Silty, Does your MKIV have an "L"? If it did I bet you would call it a "lightweight".

AKL1472 not 1474. I apologize.

Hold on, done run out and buy this sender. Too small for my old 1986 MKIV. I was told it may fit the newer models. Got another in its way. Lucas no less. As soon as it is installed, I will post the info. PS: I found it on an old MKIV thread.

Thank you for your help. For everyones behalf, I am pretty sure it is Fan switch, radiator, SPI (GVS104) and Clip, radiator fan switch, SPI (KTP9002)  [8D]

How about a manufacturer name & part number please.

OK, The guy's name is F.Edward Lucas II not David. I contacted him on Facebook gave him a jab and suggested he go to the AC Owners Forum for some enlightenment.

Yes, I konw (know) I am dyslectic and can even type backwards. What is your special skill? Sorry for the typo.[8D]

Here we are at the podium receiving our insults. Please note the MC reading the original window sticker just before he tell the audience my MKIV is a replica. I think his first name is David. If anyone konws his last name I would appreciate it. He know all there is about a Duesenberg but nothing about an Autokraft. Maybe I can broaden his knowledge.
