Intake Air Temp Sensor
Soooo. . .It's pretty known that getting a new IAT for a 86 N/A is impossible to get. But I have heard of a triumph, GM, or other IAT, that can work in the same hole if you tap it out for 1/8" NPT. . . . What IAT would be a drop in replacement?
The problem I am having, I believe is related to heat soak. I can park the car, go into a store and upon restarting, I find the car will struggle to get up on a rev for the first couple seconds. I suspect it's due to the IAT. I'll pull the IAT and do the resistance vs temp check.
I remember seeing a thread on here in which some guy put up a graph of resistance vs temp for the IAT. . .But for the life of me I can't find it... . .Anybody got any links to pages where that info might be useful to me?. . .Thanks. . RL

here you go, there are a couple different types of sensor, and the FD uses the other type, basically its backwards.
there must be a compatible sensor somewhere, although finding it is hard as its usually not listed by sensor type

just going drop this here....

not sure it if it has the appropriate time constant, but the resistance curve looks darn similar.
