I think most want to see it with just one on...lol

Haha. Well I am used to keeping my foot resting on it. Been doing it for years when I lived in East Washington winters!The high idle I will tinker with. I just want to make sure I get everything tuned and adjusted right so no loss of power. I'm about to move back to Washington in a month or...

Thanks fatherdoug. I will take a look at it and see what I can do.

Thanks both of you! I got the choke adjusted properly. No more stuttering when cold on take offs. I have my idle set right.Only two things I have to figure out is: 1. I don't have high idle so when cold I turn the truck on and the rpms are low at like maybe 400ish until it begins to warm up...

I will take a look at it this Thursday on my day off and let you know. Thanks for the step by step. I am pretty sure the dial isn't set properly so I will double check that. Thanks man!

That's a beautiful manual to have

How can I check the bushings? I've heard that you can move it a certain way to check if its worn out or not. I'll search some on it.Amkatt1, I'll check the coke operation in the morning. It'll be too late when I'm home. I don't think I said it too well earlier but the truck does chug in cold...

So I fixed an unplugged port on a PVC valve behind my egr which has been giving me problems. But when I was leaning over I noticed where the Carb sits on the manifold by the throttle linkage (drivers side) and by the choke assist on the passenger side is leaking some fluid. I haven't checked to...

Sweeeet Ben.I know the feeling of getting in and driving after you haven't in one of these trucks in a long time. I just started this month using my truck as a daily driver again for the first time in a couple years. If it wasn't for Cali gas prices id have absolutely no complaints. Love...

First, How can I tell what gear ratio I have on my truck?Idk if there was a stock for 79 F-150 302 C6...and I can't remember how to check at all.Second, Tire size how much is gear ratio and tire size combination going to affect higher RPMS?The reason I ask is I know when I used to run...

Sorry not the vent line but the over fill line. I don't think it can be 5/8". What type of host. Should I get and how big

I don't know remember what class it was when I was in college that we did this study.But ethanol can ruin gas mileage from 10% or worse for every 10% of Ethanol added to gas...and it's worse for older cars and colder weather because they weren't designed to handle it. (Numbers might not be...

What size hose do I need for the vent hose off of the gas tanks? I'm at work and I want to stop by and get some fuel hose to hook it back up on the truck tonight but for the life of me I can't remember.....I wanna say 5/8......?Its got California emissions if it makes a difference

Are you talking about the defrost ducts (that blow on top of the dash towards the windshield) or the center duct (that connects to the vents on the center of the dash. )?The center vent is something that definitely can crumble over time.... The defrost vents are a little sturdier plastic but...

Because when i pulled off the vacuum line brake fluid poured out. I dumped roughly a pint or 2 of fluid out of the booster.

What color Explorer door panels?

Hey guys....it's been a long time since I've been on the forums....three years maybe? Life kind of just stopped me from working on my truck :-( well anyhow I have gotten rid of my other car and I am back to driving the truck and what do you know brakes are gone. I replaced all the calipers...

Yeah i'll check, I'll have to pull the tire off to be sure because it's pretty dry all around there. I'll check what you said too Ben.

Last night I was driving home and i was going down a hill and went to press on my brakes and the pedal went down pretty far. It took a lot of my foot being in that peddle to get it down. The brakes did work so to speak but my foot had to be all the way in it. I got it home and checked the master...

It could be that the dealer had a shop come in and do some custom work to it. Idk if that was as popular as it is now, but there are dealers out her in Cali that have shops come out and do a custom paint/body job to trucks and sell them like that...could be something like that for sure

Glad you're okay man thats some pretty big damage man

Idk why I didn't check the vacuum advance...it's pretty much shot so I'll replace.

Well if those speed calculator's are right on the side of the road are right, im about 3mph slower than what my gauge says. so if it says 60, im 57 ish

Both really. Its hesitating off the line and pretty unrepsonsive when picking up speed. It will get to 60mph but it seems like it is sluggish getting up there. As if there is no power behind it, foot goes almoost all the way down, and no I'm not driving it like a sports car

Sweet thanks GuysThanks Dennis for that, so just a little adjustment to get it right.I have another question, lately I have noticed the truck having some hesitation when going up hills or when accelerating (from like 45 to 60) my foot goes in the pedal and it is basically down and it barely...

Okay so I have a 79 f150 302 c6 with a 9"rearI finally installed a tach today, and when in idle (park) I'm about 550/600 rpms and while in gear I'm about 400/500 rpms. My hood says I should be about 600/650 in both...is that right? I have AC...never use (compressor has a leak) I know that...

Glad you're okay man. I know how the feeling is. I got hit by a semi truck a couple years ago

Thanks for the help, that seems simple enogh

HAHAHAMy grandpa was too cheap for that ;-) lol!he just had an AM/FM radio

I think I've seen you write that enough that I have memorized it,I still have the original hubcaps off of my 79f150, they're beat to heck
