I had rebuilt my 77 F100's 400 engine with straight up timing, a slight RV cam, and a little compression increase. It has run great except it pings like crazy if accelerated hard. And it requires premium fuel. At 10+/- mpg, I hate to drive it much any more. It's a 2V and has a C6 and 3.31...
My 77 F100 400 2V C6 used to bump a lot backing up. The more load, the more bump. We replaced the 2.78 (I think) differential with a 3.31 (I think) limited slip. The spider gears were real worn. But it still bumps only a lot less. The C6 was rebuilt before the rear end change and then again...
An interesting bit on my 77 F100 Custom, short wide, 400 2V C6.I re-built the 400 at about 110k miles with a small compression increase and RV1 cam with no retarded timing. The rear gears were 2.92 ratio. Where the engine wanted to cruise at speed, the truck was going too fast in mph. I...
Thanks BKW

Ford ammeters. I have never seen a dash ammeter look like it is working. My 77 F100, 68 F100, 79 Bronco, 66 Mustang, 67 Mustang or 68 Mustang , Not a one of them ever appeared to work. What's up with that?

Truck sat all last winter until about a month ago. I finally kitted the carb. Found the EGR bad. Ordered a replacement from NAPA. It was bad too. Got a second, also bad. Napa refunded my 90 some bucks and I decided to leave it off. Made a plate from a 3/8x1 1/2 aluminum strap. Gasketed...
My 77 F100 left door hinge spring is broken for some years now. It's been on my list to replace, but you guys are making me worry. More in an EGR thread.
I am 99% sure this is the sticker from my 79 Bronco. From where it was found in my stuff, it has to be from the Bronco. I sold the the rig when I got the 77 F100.
