What did you do to your Dent today

[Big Jim F150]

Walked by my 78 Ranger Lariat twice
Today, and I thought I'd like to drive it today,
And then I decided to drive it to Church,
Tomorrow , just to give it a little exercise.

Does the other truck get jealous?

Pulled the rocker arms, push rods spark plugs. Getting ready to swap out valve springs and retainers. I think a 494 lift cam is to much for stock springs and rotators.

Hahahahahaha.......if I was, I would admit it....I was getting creamer for the office if you must know.....about $4 in gas to the store (based on 8 MPG's), $7 worth of creamer (which usually lasts me about a month)............enjoyment of riding around town in my dent: PRICELESS!

Fixed my trans. I was experiencing shutter in reverse. I posted the question on 460Ford and a guy told me to drill a hole(#56,57,58 or 3/64") in the end of a glass fuse,break out the glass and insert it into the vacuum line on the manifold side.....(basically a vacuum restrictor) And it WORKED! So I ended up making one from brass tubing and a compression ferrule. Works perfectly!

 

[m78]

What is the hose going to that you restricted ?

Looks sweet. Did you park next to that car or did the car park next to you? All those spots to choose from.

 

[bucks77ford]

This wasn't today, but a couple weeks ago I made a trip down to Nebraska where my 77 is now and was able to get it out and drive it a bit.

 

[m78]

^^^^^ Thats sharp as hell !

The vacuum modulator.

Went and got everything set to pull the eng and trans tomorrow

that thing in my poket

It is confirmed, 494 lift is to much for stock springs and rotators. I ordered this from Summit racing yesterday at 10:30 and it showed up today around 3. All done and what a difference!!

I went with this K-D spring compressor. The knob was able to be removed and a 5/8 wrench turned it. Glad I went that way because if the knob didn't come off I'd of had to pull the A/C box. I did have to remove the power booster for 1 spring.

And 1 of these to air up the cylinder.

All total it was 183 bucks.

Old to new comparison, quite a bit taller.
