  1. Emissions light on '86 F150 302

    I have an '86 F150 with a 302 EFI engine. This past week the Emission Light came on and is staying on. What is the proper procedure I need to follow to correct this problem? Thanks Jerry
  2. Engine Stalling

    I haven't deserted you all. Been in a place ,almost heaven, cell phone didn't work and no computer access this weekend (still had work to do though). Back at home now and hopefully I can work on the truck some this week. I'm definately going to clean the IAC and see what happens. That sounds...
  3. Engine Stalling

    Trukin4life It doesn't really splutter but it doesn't cut off as quick as it would if you turned the ignition switch off. Matter of fact, sometimes it will slow way down and you'll think it's going to die and then it'll pick back up and run OK. It has on occassion sat there and speed up, slow...
  4. Engine Stalling

    Need some advice from you die hard Ford mechanics. Got an '87 F150 with a 302 EFI engine. Not every time but almost, when you first crank up, it will crank then die, crank it again and sometimes it will run fine and then other times it will keep dieing. On it's worst times, you can be driving...
  5. '75 F-250 trans swap

    Now we're getting on the same page. That's more what I'm wanting to do. The Clark 5-speed, do you know if it's an Overdrive or is 5th straight through and just has 4 lower gears? The 361 engine, it's the same bellhousing as the 360. 390, etc., right? I don't necessarily have to have an...
  6. '75 F-250 trans swap

    I'm wanting to go with a truck type trans, one with granny gear instead of a car/light truck type trans. The 360 has the same bellhousing pattern as the 390 and 427, doesn't the 429 or either the 460 have the same pattern? I know there were some of the big truck engines that had the same pattern...
  7. Carburetor expert needed.

    If you understand what the vacuum gauge is telling you, it will help you understand what you're doing. I'm not the greatest at describing something but I'll give it a try, probably really get you confused. With the engine ideling, the carb butterflys are in a set position, letting a set amount...
  8. '75 F-250 trans swap

    I have a "75 F-250 2-wheel drive truck with a 360 engine. I am wanting to put an overdrive manual trans (granny gear type) in it and leave the 360 engine. Does anyone have any suggestions as to which bellhousing, flywheel, and trans will work together behind the 360 engine? Thanks Jerry
  9. EFI Tech Info

    THANKS to you both. Two great sites. That's exactly what I was looking for. Now it's up to me to see if I can figure this thing out. Hope to work on it some next week. Be on the lookout for some more questions posted from me. Thanks again, guys.
  10. '87 EFI Info

    Does anyone know of any good websites where you can download a manual or just information on checking all the sensors on an EFI engine? I have a 4x4 '87 F150 with a 302 EFI engine and 4-speed manual trans that has started acting up lately. I have to crank usually 3-4 times before it will stay...
