I also have an edelbrock 4v on the engine. The new Accel wires are arcing at the spark plugs, and arcing across the other plug wires as well.Unrelated the dist is binding up against the temp sending unit.Did I get a set of bad wires? The engine grounds are all there and seem fine.
I assumed both rear axles on the same vehicle would be interchangeable.I am putting an axle out of a donor truck into my '65 F100, and it lacks 1/8" to going all of the way in. So I took the axle out of the other side, (rt side) and test fit it into the left side, same problem, will not go the...
When I first bought the truck, the brake M/C was adjusted so tight that the front discs were holding the truck back at idle, I adjusted the rod and that problem went away, now the brake lights stay on all of the time, unless I use my foot to pull up the brake pedal. Did I adjust too far, I tried...
Both complete doors, hood, disc brakes, p/s, rear glass, 390 engine, C6 trans, 9" rr, pretty much everything but the bumpers, fuel tank and bed. I am asking
$800.00 for the complete truck, is that too much?I think I have the grill sold, waiting for funds. Here's some pics.
Runs and drives, has a good 351C engine 4 spd granny, needs body work, has rust, frame and undercarriage has only surface rust. New 600 Edelbrock carb, new Edelbrock 4v manifold, new HEI dist, new master cyl and brake booster. Nice alum 16X10 wheels, tires have a little life left in them. I also...
Both upper hinges on the mini vents are "broken" there appears to be a part missing that would rivit to the window frame and fit into a little stud on the door. I love this truck, I'll have to shoot you all some pics asap.
I have a '73 F250 2wd 360 edelbrock man and carb 4spd (daily driver 75K miles)
10/77 F250 4x4 351C edel man, and carb, 4spd (runs and drives well) rusty
74 F100 parts truck, bed is on the '73 etc. 390 4v c-6
gen 6 trailer.Question for you folks, should I sell separately, or make someone the...
It has a 351W in it now, that is a recent rebuild. It has a 4spd granny in it as well. What are my trans options for an auto? I have read that is has the bell housing pattern of a 302,289, 351C? I have 3 gen 6 trucks, 2 with the FE engine. I have grown attached to the FE. The truck was...
I have a 10/77 F250 ext cab 4x4 with a 351C 2v heads, new edelbrock 4v manifold, with a new 600cfm edelbrock carb. 4sp truck, floors rusty, bed rusty no tailgate, 10x16 aluminum wheels, new m/c and br booster, All the glass is good, runs and drives fine, 4x4 works. New HEI distributor. This...
disconnected the cable from the 4sp granny, and the drive cable will not slide out to be lubed. I would swear back in the old days I did this. I felt around under the dash to try to disconnect it from there, and it has some type of plastic connector.I don't bend as well as I used to, so I am...
I had a '96 F250 crew cab diesel 4x4 a few years back, and I managed to get my old 16x10" wheels off of it. Went to put them on my 78 F2504x4 and the wheels fit fine, but the lug nuts just fall on the studs. I need nuts for aluminum wheels that'll fit my 78. The stock nuts will chew into the...
Bought a 400 engine for my 78 F250 4x4, and did not do enough research.
Someone swapped in a 351C. Figured it out when I tried to swap intakes.Anyway, aren't the bell housing bolt patterns different as well, what all
had to be swapped out in order for someone to put that 351C under the hood...
E14HHX24xxx, It's in pretty good shape, been sitting for years. It has a std trans in it! Which 351 is in this van, with the engine being an "H" code? Parts interchange with a 400?I can prob get it for $750.00 would you do it? It ran when parked, but needed a clutch is the story.
About the M, trying to rattle a few cages! Do I need to use a valley pan? I got an intake set from jegs, it has no pan, but when I took the Edekbrock off of the donor engine, it had a pan. I hate valley pans.
For my 78 F250 4x4. I would prefer an engine that has been built to have more power than stock, 400 w/ upgraded cam timing, 4bbl etc. I am looking for a drop in slightly used engine.I am in S.E. Oklahoma
Thank you.
Many years ago there was "The Pate Swap Meet in Tx.
I need to move out a lot of old parts and pick up some others.
Where is the "place to go" now?Thank you!
Picked up a '78 F2504x4 extended cab from a buddy that needed cash. This truck has been sitting for years. I put a new H.E.I. dist on it, fresh 2bbl, flushed out the fuel tank, changed the oil and squirted lubricant in all of the spark plug holes, as well as dumping oil through both valve...
It has spacer blocks under the rear leaf springs, and the transfer case seems to be a separate part from the trans. Any on have pics of the items so that I can compare?Thanks.
VIN is X26...
Is this a typo? All I can find for Ford truck vin's all start with an "F".Someone has done an engine swap, it has a 351C 2V engine in it now. Lots of rust in the normal places.
I had an intake put on it about a year ago, could this be the intake or gasket, or is it the cyl head or gasket for sure?1973 F250 360c.i. edelbrock intake manifold.Thank you.
I've got a '73 with a 360c.i. FE, and I have heard of headache and bolt breaks on these. I've got an exhaust donut leaking on the factory manifold, and I also
have a pair of headers, I have been reluctant to attempt to install, because I am skeered of the bolts breaking. Any tips or advise...
The 73 is a daily driver, lost job, have to sell. The 74 is a parts truck.
The 73 F250 has 68K miles on it, but it was a farm truck and the floorboards are rusty.
73 4spd stock exhaust
74 auto, headers and duals.
both are 4bbl, the 73 has edelbrock manifold and carb.
the 74 has a C5 4bbl...

F0328
T 1040
trying to figure out what engine it has in it, the heads are 2V cleveland heads.
I also have a 1975 E series...
i do not have the place to do the work myself, what can I expect to pay a shop? Is there a flat rate manual that will tell me the hours it pays?thanks, FoT
