  1. Using Shorty Mustang headers on 351w + 4X4

    Thanks. No worries about auto shift linkage. 5 spd.
  2. Using Shorty Mustang headers on 351w + 4X4

    Thanks for the info. No areas that might be too close? Front drive shaft, firewall, etc.?
  3. Using Shorty Mustang headers on 351w + 4X4

    Has anybody used Mustang shorty headers on their 4x4 truck with 351w. I don't like how the #2 primary tube on the passenger side truck headers run on top. Foresee a lot of issues with spark plugs and wires.I'm putting in a whole new exhaust, so pipe alignment doesn't matter, as long as I can...
  4. '89 ignition problems

    To add to this. The switch itself is slotted for adjustment, when you changed out the cylinder, you may have bent the rod, or just knocked it out of alignment.What I do. Drop the column like Fellro said. Disconnect neg from battery. Turn the key to "on" position, not "start". Loosen the nuts...
  5. How do I self test for EEC codes on my 93 bronco

    Where exactly are you in OK. I have a reader you can borrow and am in Tulsa.
  6. Need help with stuck distributer

    Is it the bolt for the clamp thats rusted tight, or are you saying the distributor itself won't rotate? As mentioned before, after you get the motor hot, spray some PB blaster or penetrating oil of your choice on the hold down bolt, and try to get under the clamp too. If it's the distributor...
  7. How square is your truck? :)

    I'd be interested in hearing about re-arching with the sledge too.
  8. Front clip swap?

    I apologize for upsetting you. You're right, I didn't know the whole story. My opinion is just that, my opinion.
  9. I need some hep and quick...

    Has nothing to do with technicalities, bypassing it for troubleshooting is fine. My suggestion is aimed at you to put yours back on. Would you take a pressure hose filled with gas and point it at a fire? That's what would happen. I'm just trying to make you safe. Just my opinion.
  10. I need some hep and quick...

    If I may suggest it. You should fix tour inertia switch as soon as possible. If you have an accident and no switch, your fuel pumps will not shut off. That could be very bad, especially if you have a fire. Just my opinion.
  11. Front clip swap?

    I don't post here much, but it seems kinda sad that you couldn't work out a deal with Austin for some parts and/or the whole truck. Good Luck on getting a high price on scrap after you are done. I just did one and grand total was $160 dollars. You couldn't even help a man out that was gonna pay...
  12. Post a pic of your 87-96 and 97 F250's and up

    Finally putting a pic up. This is the Green Bomber. 1990 Ford F150 4WD. Used to be Blue/White two tone, but I liked this green. She has a 5.0 and 5 spd manual. Mods so far are simple, manual locking hubs on front, homemade CAI, aluminum rims, and I put a 92 Front end on her. I am building up a...
  13. Front clip swap?

    I'm sorry to correct you, but the cowl is different by about an inch. I just did this to my 90. (Try to post pics later).Everything from the Cab back is the same sheetmetal wise, obviously badging is different. You will need the rad support, cowl, hood, fenders. bumper, and the...
  14. Fuel Injector Problem!

    Did you check each one for power? Do you have a wiring diagram? If you only checked one, it might not have power because it wasn't time yet. If none of them have power, You might have broken wires. Or your computer is no bueno. Good Luck.
  15. Got any ideas on how to refinish a foam headliner?

    I'm actually redoing mine right now. I'm putting vinyl up. I don't think it will be any noiser than the fabric, will probably last longer, and you can wipe the spit, mud, blood, snot, etc. off easy. I bought it at the auto upholstery, they also sell the factory foam backed stuff there.
  16. Rear ABS light

    Do you RABS I or II? There is a troubleshooting procedure, just depends on which one you have. Bad news is, you have to troubleshoot when it happens with RABS I because it doesn't store faults. The RABS module connector is by the emergency brake, the RABS II module is located behind the...
  17. New front end ???

    I had wanted to swap mine to an 86, but I didn't want to swap the bedsides, and what I posted earlier about the fender mounts being different. I liked the Gen 9 front end second best, still looks better than the Gen 8 it had. Overdone or not.
  18. New front end ???

    I don't have any pics right now, but that is what I did. I have a 91 I bought cheap. Never really liked the looks of the 87-91 frontend. Got a 92 frontend to put on it. You will need everything forward of the windshield. There are 2 tabs on the cab that will need to be added to attach the cowl...
  19. fueling up with my Flareside....

    LOL, you can do whatever you want. However, with the little flapper door removed. The vent hose in the neck vents faster because there is no obstruction. If you look at it you see two holes a big one and a little one. The big one is self explanatory, the little one is the vent hole. Good Luck.
  20. bumping timing up without timing light...

    Sorry to butt in, but is this an EFI or carbuerated engine? The reason I ask is the ignition is controlled by the computer on EFI. If you "tune it a couple of degrees" the computer will probably take it out. No gain.
  21. fueling up with my Flareside....

    I don't think you'll be able to see it with a flashlight. The only way I think you will be able to see is disconnect the fill hose at the tank and see if that end is still connected, then do the same on filler neck side. I had the same problem on my "86 and I ended up breaking the little flapper...
  22. So what have you done to your truck?

    Finally painting the damn thing after two years.
  23. TX or OK!

    Tulsa, OK here.
  24. AOD not shifting

    It sounds like your tranny needs a rebuild to me. They didn't start putting E40D (electric AOD) trannies in until around 94 or so.
  25. abs not working???

    One way to check if you have rear abs. Crawl under truck and look to see if you have the valve inside the left frame rail. On my 90 it is in the left frame rail, under the cab, connected into the rear brake line.
  26. tailgate wont shut.

    If your latches close while open, check the spring on the hook (latches) they may be broken or slipped off. They are what holds the hooks open until you close the tailgate. Hope this helps.
  27. Codes 211 & 335

    Just to add, you should still be able to replicate some of the icm tests. It is basically the same part, just some are mounted directly on the distributor. Hope this helps.
  28. Where's the air mgmt/diverter valve?

    What he said, however the diverter vlv on my 90 is directly attached to the air pump.
  29. What Happened to Ford Commercials?

    Y'all get a chance, go to YouTube and look up Ford Sport Ka. Funny.
  30. ive been hearin about these fancy spark plugs

    I seen a couple of articles that said all those fancy electrode sparkplugs aren't any better than single electrode, they're just snake oil. Single electrodes are actually better to me because they can be regapped to what you need. Platinums stay cleaner and wear slower than regular plugs. I...
