Is it possible that you left a oil gallery plug out somewhere inside the engine? I just rebuilt mine and cold at idle i'm running 75psi cold and 38psi warm at idle with a standard volume oil pump. Did you check your bearing clearances when it was rebuilt?

Couldn't you just cut the a hole for the shifter?

I haven't had this problem but I have heard of it over at FTE. Lots of people say you have to lay it out in the sun for a while but 3" is quite a bit

I can give you some random spec if you like or you could lets us know what engine you would like specs for.

Thanks for answering my question then!

Thanks for the offer I ordered the dakota dash today. Do you use the same user name of FTE? I'm F150north over there.

That would be great but I'm about 12 hours away from the border

I agree it is pricey but the thing I like about it is that it has a built in tach and I just have the idiot light and it comes with a oil pressure gauge/sender so I could clean up my dash by getting rit of a water, oil, and tach gauges. The other thing is I'm in canada and none of the places I...

My backing plate is rotten and falling apart has anyone tried one of the replacements? I see there available at NPT, LMC, dennis carpenter, classic auto parts and bronco graveyard. ThanksI also found that dakota digital has a replacement gauges but can't find out if it replaces the backing...

Well I ended up dropping the tank and got about a gallon and a half of the dirty gas out of it. There was quite a bit of the same stuff I found in the carb in the tank and I tried pouring it through a kim tuff towel but it would go right through. Truck runs good now with the rebuilt carb and...

Don't think I haven't thought about it! Mines only a f100 so it would be a lot of weight on the front end that is what holds be back. I still got a cummins to get my diesel fix!

If you really want to see my cummins I can post it but it's not a gen 6 so I didn't think it was appropriate.

Found a old picture of my engine bay

The truck was parked for about one year but the carb was removed drained and has been in the garage. there was some gummy stuff on the inlet filters and I have chaged a few fuel filters. I've only owned the truck for 2 years and only drove it for one but it never seemed quite right. I'm thinking...

This is what I found in my carb bowls, I couldn't get the truck to idle correctly so I pulled the carb and this is what I found once it's dried out its just like a powder.

Here's mine

I don't see why not the only wires on my c6 (1979 model though) are for the neutral saftey switch which would go to the clutch pedal I would think.. Of course you well need the clutch pedal and stuff.just my 2 cents

Make sure it is the rear seal I thought that my rear seal was leaking but it was the oil pressure sender!

The truck is just my toy. Just want something fun to drive around. Iam planning on a 2600stall converter. surewhynot I here what you are saying mite be a bit on the high side for cam choice. flareside_thunder I well for sure check the P-V clearance.Thanks guy's

Yep I already have a 3.55 posi. I am really wondering what people think of my cam choice.

I should mention that this well be going in my 78 f-100 short box 4x2 with 3.55 gears and planning on using a c6 with 2800 stall.

I still have it(of course)I bought that one when I was 16 but it didn't quite look like that! I was going to fix it until I bought the short box. I still mite fix it up again if I ever get the time.

No this one did not go through a restore. ( bought this one from Mississippi last year ) This one did go through a restore just had a bad end! (you can see the front end under the cover!)
