Thought I would follow up on this subject. The issues around water pump bolts turned out to be no issue. I took one of the 4.5" bolts ran it in to the threads until it bottomed out, in each of the six holes, and measured how much of the bolt was still sticking out. I don't for certain...

I just noticed your timing cover photo is upside down. The parts book drawing from the dealer (which was right side up) showed the 4" or 4.25" bolt goes into either 9 or 11. Now I am really confused. More research.

Well, this was useful information! But does not solve my problem. When I took inventory of the water pump bolts I had five 4.5" 5/16" NC bolts and one 4.25" bolt, plus the five shorties. Did not have any 4" bolts. I went to the dealer who printed off for me a very crude drawing out of his...

Hello, I'm looking for some input. I have a 1995 F350 with 460 and EOD, 2wd. I had to replace the water pump. Due to a significant amount of out-of-town work, I took it apart in May and just last night got it back together. Memory might be the real issue, but my problem is, I ended up with...

If you are restoring a '73-'79, could use a spare parts truck, and are in the Kansas City area, contact me. I have a free 1975 F250 SuperCab, 460, C6. Clear title. Very rusty. Has not moved or been started in About 20 years. Bill. (816) 509-0814.

Thanks for the help. I will try that, and post the results.

1995 E350 Crew Cab, 460, automatic. How do I determine the correct, original number for the engine computer? The local shop I took it to for an engine running issue did fix the issue, but in the process told me the control module had been replaced at some point with an incorrect one. The only...

Thanks. When the fuel filter and catalytic converter were replaced they did check vacuum and did correct a leak. But, it is good idea to make that check again. I will do that.

This is a question for all you engine tuners. I have a 1995 F350 with 460 & E40D. Everything is completely stock. It runs OK right after I start it up, and for a few minutes. At some point it begins to miss when I try to accelerate. If I accelerate very slowly it is OK, but if I open the...

I just typed out a more detailed reply, but the site froze up and lost it!Thanks. All good thoughts to ponder. It does run good, smooth, plenty of power. Mileage dropped from 12 to 7 when the gasket leak started. So, a new plan emerging:1. Pull a few plugs to check condition 2. Change...

I have not yet pulled any plugs. Reason: Both exhaust manifold gaskets started leaking, which tricked the O2 sensor into asking for more fuel. I didn't think the plugs would look good anyway under those conditions. I just this past weekend got the gaskets changed and in the process found a...

Well, it holds around 6 or 7 quarts. The lifters started rattling so I took it to Valvoline and they put 3+ quarts back in it. It had only been about 2,000 miles since the oil change. That works out to about a quart in 600 to 700 miles.

I have a 1995 F350 crew cab with 460 and EO40D. This thing goes through lots and lots of oil and I cannot yet figure out where the oil is going. I bought it in Florida with 112,000 miles and drove it home to Kansas City without using any oil. It now has about 120,000 miles. The valve cover...

Thanks for the help!

I realize I am in the wrong forum for my 1976 F350, but I think I am in the right forum for this question. I would like to replace my wheels with the newer Ford wheels, but it looks to me like they changed the bolt pattern at some time since 1976. Can someone educate me on the change, new...
