Thank you if I have it right when all the marks are lined up every thing will take care of itself. I must have thought about changing a distributor which can be 180 deg off
Hello,
I put the 351 Windsor in my 1985 F150 short bed step side with a C6 and loved it but then could not keep it filled up and then gas got almost 4.oo per gallon and then 'what`s his name" got reelected and there is no hope in sight so I sold it to a couple from Canada and bought a ford...
Hello,
I have a 1996 Ranger with a 2.3 engine with 8 spark plugs. The timing belt broke when it was idling so there should not be any valve damage. I have taken off every thing needed to repair it including the water pump which needed to be replaced any way but short of taking off the overhead...
1985 F150 XLT with 85,000 miles. power windows that work, power door lock that work, tilt wheel, AC that works, power steerind and brakes new tires, new front bed panel (damaged) 351W, C-6 trans. B&M Ratchet shifter on floor, guaranteed 100% rust free. no dents in bed, factory wood in bed floor...
I have an older B&M ratchet shifter that works good except for some reason it will not shift into park and it has no neutral safety switch and I had to rework the air cleaner as it would not clear the coil on the dist. cap
It is carbed and while it was on the engine stand I completely removed all the smog stuff, plugged all the vacuam ports and put a pvc in both valve covers and it runs really well but I cannot put the kickdown linkage on the carb because the motor is too close to the firewall and I do not know...
finally got the HEI today but almost never got the old distributor out slipped the new one in and it started the first time it turned over. I need to get a small air breather as the coil on top of the new dist. will not let it come down on the carb. it is a shame no one lives close as I have...
I bought a HEI distributor and a set of accel wires and it should be alright and I appreciate all the info you gave me but I think it may have been bad when I took it out of the 1987 and I took all the smog stuff off and I am sure that did not help, I have never seen so much wire and vacuam...
Nothing I do will make this dura spark work so I am going to go another way does any one use the "ready to run" coil and distributor kits. They should be a 1 or 2 wire hook up and I can get rid of what I cannot seem to make work.
There are several on e-bay for about 125.00 and are probably a...
I have nearly gone blind from looking at the wiring diagrams and as far as I can tell the red wire is hot all the time and the white wire is hot in "run or start" so it must be ---- the red wire on the battery side of the relay and the white wire on the I terminal. I hope
I am ready to hook up the dura spark but nothing on the starter relay is marked. There are 4 terminals (1) The cable from the battery (2) the wire from the switch (3) there is nothing hooked up on this terminal (4) The cable to the starter. Which one is the I terminal that I hook the red wire...
I have a 1985 150 XLT stepside with a 300 and t18 four speed, I bought a 1987 f250 with a 351W and a C6 that runs really well .I put the 351W in the 1985 with the C6 and every thing fitted up except for the drive shaft. The T18 had a long tail shaft so I just assumed the drive shaft would fit...
I have the 351 and C6 in the truck, no problem until I tried to put in the drive shaft and it is about 2 inchs too long. I went to the junk yard and nothing worked so I guess I have to have it cut, I wonder why it does not fit.
due to old age, failing eye sight, and a short memory , I wrote the wrong colors coming out of the durs-spark box they are red and white and I believe the red goes to the starter relay and the white goes to a switch wire that is hot when the key is on. I really hope this works out.
:guns: I took out the 351W , the C-6 and every thing else I thought I could use and then I pulled the motor mount brackets. The one on the drivers side had 3 rivits and 2 bolts in it. It took me 2 hours to get it off. I plan to take the 6cyl out next Monday but I have a question, The 1985 6cyl...
I took the air cleaner off and she had someone put a Holley double pumper on it looks like about a 650 cfm. I have put a bunch of them on the 390 but it seems like overkill on the 351W, what is best for it
(2) The heat (110 to 120) does a number on hoses and headliners and the several hundred...
got it homePicked up the 1987 F250 this morning and drove it home and it is fantastic. The lady parked it because it used too much gas but it has vacuam leaks, the 4bbl. is running so rich I had to drive with the windows down and it is geared 4:10, I can take care of that. It is a shame to...
I just bought a 1987 ford 250 with a 351W and C6 with 60,000 miles on it for $700.00. The motor and trans are in really good condition and the truck itself looks good, has good tires and a camper shell on it. All I have to do now is change both motors and trans and I can get my truck painted. I...
Hello,
How involved is it to convert a 351W from fuel injection to carb. I can get a really low milage 95 with all the f.i. hardware but I guess it is nearly impossible to put it in my 1985. $400.00
Run a wire from the positive side of the battery to the key side of the coil be sure to unhook the ignition wire at the coil first. You have bypassed all the wiring in the truck and the truck should start with the key. If it starts then you can check the ignition switch and make sure the hot...
