Thanks for the info. I know about that one but thought there was another one. Now do I have to drop the tank to pull it? That could be a bit of work as it is a dual tank.

Tell me more about this resistor. Where is it located, how to check, etc. Please...

My truck isa carbureted '87 F250 with a 351. I find asking questions on this sub forum easier due to having a carb. So here's my issue... my fuel Guage is not accurate. Tends to show almost full and then randomly drops off to low. I'm lucky I have dual tanks so I'm never stranded. So anyone...

I wouldn't just like to see what internal prt fried no perhaps replace that part, individual electrical components re cheap, and then have a spare.

I had to replace my ignition module today (blue one). Has anyone ever opened up the module to examine what went bad in there? I am more curious than anything but perhaps they can be restored like an antilock brake module.

Well I ran the engine for about 3/4 of a hour yesterday doing some errands. Took my IR gun and it read 180* +/ so th engine is not overheating. However, th gauge needle when cold is just to the left of the red line and when up to operating temp well past the red line. I unplugged the wire...

I just checked the sending unit per the Chilton book, un-plugging it and nothing changed. The needle points actually just to the left on the red area. I will try the IR reader and see what that says. The engine is not overheating but that needle bothers me.

Thanks for the assistance regarding the resistance. Electrical is not my thing.

No, so how would I do that?

Last summer my '87 250 overheated and the temp needle pegged. Everything settled down and no damage done. However my temp gauge now never drops below the "l" in normal. Is there any way to fix this? Is it stuck and could it be moved back or is it truly buggered? Is just the temp guage...

I had my alternator rebuilt twice by the shop I have used for over forty years. The first time it only lasted about a day and a half. They took it back and said it was a bad ------, I forget. Installed the rebuilt rebuilt and went for a spin today ebatttery light came on. So it is going back...

Finally success! I rechecked the fuel pump, it was good. Noticed a little seepage near he pressed in plugs on th equal bowls, sealed up with JB Weld but that did nothing. Checked the fuel level but it was OK. No "squirt of fuel" when activating the axel orator. So on to the accelerator pump...

Well I'm back with some more info. The truck started and then died after a few minutes. I could get it to start with carb cleaner down the carb. I'm kinda thinking fuel pump but then I started checking for vacuum leaks as suggested. Revved higher when I sprayed around the forward part of the...
