Ugh it rained most of the day. I wanted to do a tune-up before my trip to wash., d.c. next weekend and make a video of the exhaust. Hopefully sometime this week I can get it done.

I drove my gf's grandpa's 78 F150 302/4spd od yesterday. It's a little harder to drive than most sticks considering it still has the stock clutch but I loved it. He wants us to take it to prom or homecoming lol.

Does anyone by any chance know where to get the bendix control valve (I think that's what it's called) for the 76-77 trucks that had the power assist steering? And yes I know I can go to the junk yard. I'm wondering if anyone knows where I can go and physically put my hands on a good one.

 

[1985 Ford F-150]

Maybe try Napa.

 

[LEB Ben]

Hey fellas...just outta curiousity...because I've never seen it. Does anyone make reproduction in cab tank?

 

[1985 Ford F-150]

Dennis Carpenter does for the 72 not sure about yours.

Seems I've seen this dentside posted before but can't remember where. My memory seems ---distracted.

 

[LEB Ben]

If memory serves correctly it's already in our babe thread, her name is Misty...the girl that is...and she's on another truck site. Seriously though, I'd take that truck over her any day.

I'd take that truck over her any day.

I got enough trucks, that looks mighty good from behind and in the door shadow.... wheres the frontal shot?

 

[LEB Ben]

Alright guys...I'm torn down to the water pump...the leak is somewhere between the bottom of the water pump but above the pulleys off the crank. Can anyone think of any potential problem areas in there. With the limited amount clearance I can't see what's leaking but I can feel it. I would just tear it apart...but I don't have a means of going to buy the parts I need. So any brainstorming would be appreciated.

Gaskets maybe where the water pump mounts?

Hey boys...got one more question for ya. You guys ever had problems with your idle speed screw backing out on ya? It's happened to the Holley 4150 Street Avenger I have on the Bronco a couple in the last few months.

 

[1985 Ford F-150]

Put some loctite on it.
