Here's the Hella vs. Silverstar bulbs


Stock Hella bulbs, low beam

Silverstar upgrade, low beam

Silverstar, high beam

definitely a difference

thanks again to Duncan who gave me these bulbs

That's quite a difference! Are the pictures before and after taken at the same distance/height?

the first two are Doug, but I backed up a ways for the high beam pic, the radiation levels were to high

definitely a whiter, brighter light

Roy I like the improvement in your lights over factory lights.

I really like those bulbs. Are they available at parts stores or would I have to get something like that online?

Hi yup, at your local parts store. Ask for the Silverstar brand, but I swapped out the sealed beam for the Hella that allows the H4 bulb. Did you read the earlier posts?

OK, so the POS carb that was a retard re-manufactured from ***** had to go, the choke didn't work properly, the pull off was shot, and the float setting was off and it was always rich and flooding, and all the gaskets were starting to leak.

So I scored big time with this all original Ford carb in great condition for get this... $56.00 !!

here it is

INSTALLED!!

here's the choke pull-off, working!!

and finally the idle can be set to the proper 800rpm's!!

and it runs really nice, happy happy joy joy

 

[Ridgerunner]

WOW what a great score. I love your dash sure you don't want to trade?

 

[fatherdoug]

Oh, what a feeling when everything runs right. I fought a cold start issue for over a year before I adjusted the pull down - problem solved. Nice score on the carburetor. Did you have to rebuild it first?

Hi Doug, nope, just new gas filter and put it on. Fired right up and runs great!!
The truck it came off had just arrived a week earlier and they took it off and put it their inventory. I did go through it and checked all fasteners and adjustments, etc. and sprayed carb cleaner to clean it.

Here's the POS re-manufactured carb, don't buy them, I learned the hard way
It's a hit or miss with them, and it's usually a miss! I will buy the carb re-build kit when the time comes, I'm not giving away the new one like I did with the original one that was on the truck.

just before I removed it

 

[Ridgerunner]

I have fuel injectors and I will rebuild them when the time comes. $25.00 for a kit ain't bad

yup!! I still kicking myself for giving the old carb to the store for the core exchange... and getting that POS that didn't even last a year, and the parts were not all original on it, I didn't know better then, but I guess it's all part of the learning curve, right?

I have always bought a new Eddy Carb if I had to replace the carb. To be honest I really like FI a lot better.

I've had both, and yes FI is the nicer, but it's a farm truck after all, umm, well it was suppose to be...
