Any recommendations for valve cover gaskets?These intrigue me, but I gather they need really low torque specs which sorta makes me worry abt bolts backing out: https://realgaskets.com/product/valve-cover-gaskets-35/Also been eyeballing the Moroso but they seem a bit pricey. Haven't...

The truck, 1978 F250, 460, is hitting a wall at about 45-50mph when going up over the local mountain here. It's like a giant flat spot in the throttle where the engine is running but just continues to bog and slow as the grade gets steeper. Used to be she could fly over at 60+ without even...

Welp...as is the way with old vehicles, a simple job turned into a bigger one. Did a tune-up on the ol '78 460 for the first time in 10 yrs. Among other things, replaced the old original ignition coil. The original connector cap for it was super loose and cause the truck to stall going over...

Hope I'm posting in the right section...but need some help figuring what's going on w my girlfriend's car, a 2018 Buick Encore. Basically, the ride quality is super, super harsh. It's like the wheels are connected directly to the body. Going over a speed bump will crush your spine. My 1978...

So... a co-worker, knowing I'm something of a car guy, has offered me his family's old hand-me-down 1987 Grand Marquis (5.0 mpi, 59k miles) for pretty much scrap value. The problem? It hasn't run in 10 yrs. I asked why he parked it as I was looking it over he pointed at the starter relay and...

So, the driver side door on my '78 has some up and down play and I'm always having to close it pretty hard to get it to fully latch. Looks like the pin holes are worn a bit. I'm thinking about getting some new hinges off of LMC. I'm wondering how difficult it's gonna be to do this job though...

I wanna get a new jack for the truck. I'm replacing the power steering pump in a couple days and would like to get the front wheels off the ground so I can bleed the ps system.I rarely ever find the need to raise the truck up so I'm not really interested in some sort of giant xtra heavy duty...

So, I feel like as of late the truck has been making some groaning and occasional popping noises from the front end whenever I go over speed bumps or take a turn on an incline. Still tracks straight and no odd vibrations going on; but given that I don't think the front end has ever really...

So while I've got the carb off the ol' 460, I decided to just go ahead and upgrade the intake manifold. The original one has 30 yrs of farm soil and fertilizer baked onto it like clay. So I'd say it's time to say bye-bye.I'm leaning toward the Weiland 8012, as it seems to have some good...

Hiya peeps! Been a while since I've been on the boards. ...busy w/ last semester of college and all...Anyway, as a reminder, my ol' 78 F250 (460cid) has been set up for dual-fuel gasoline/propane ever since the early 80's. However, its been run on a strict diet of just propane ever since...

I went through the engine bay and replaced all the old vacuum lines with nice new tubing (left over from when I did my car).No problems other than one of the two vac connectors broke off of the thing in the picture. Went ahead and just T 'd the lines that plugged into it together.Truck's...

So I'm looking to replace the dash gauge lights -including the turn signal indicators (got a couple of burned out ones). From what I'm understanding, there's approx. 6 lights total, right? ...with this part number: *edit: bulb #194 --goes w/ socket FORD C8OZ-13711-A-- right?Just...

Hi All! Yes, I'm new here. I've been a fan of Fords for a while- as the ones I've used at work just don't stop. So when I stumbled across this ol' farm truck I just couldn't resist. She's a one owner borderline creampuff- original paint, all trim/chrome, sweet original interior, hell, even...
