If you don't have a check engine light and it's running fine, I'd bet it's working.

I want to measure mine. It doesn't look that tall.

Did you add the VSS? I'm in the middle of my conversion and am having clearance issues with the VSS and my T5-Z/H pipe hanger/crossmember.

What year is the car? No check engine light on 86.

Pull codes and see if you get anything.
