When I replaced mine I was able to buy one at NAPA Auto Parts Store. It was
relatively Cheap and all you have to do is unscrew it and screw the other
one back in There is no nut on the back that will fall.

Importance: High

What is the name of the post in the cab frame that the latch in the door
clamps to when the door is closed. The plastic bushing (yes there is a
plastic bushing there. Just look. Go ahead, I DARE you) has broken and
fallen off BOTH of my posts (Passenger and Driver). This means that the
diameter of that post is smaller and the door rattles just like it's not
closed all the way. How is this post secured? If I remove it is there
a nut inside the cab that I can't get to without a hot wrench? Are
these things available from the dealer anymore? Help!!!

Subject: FTE 61-79 - 390 Emissions

I just rebuilt the emission (thermactor) system on my 1975 F250 with a
390 motor. I can't find a source for an air by-pass valve. This valve
is a silver cylinder that has an inlet that takes a hose from the air
pump. Its two outlets run hoses to the exhaust check valves. Its
purpose is to prevent backfiring on deceleration. If anyone out there
knows of a source for a replacement, I would be grateful. Normal parts
> channels such as Napa can't locate the part.

Yo Ken:

Damn fine job, man! You are justly proud. What a long way to come in less
than 1.5 years on the web!

I am proud just to subscribe to such a fine list. Of all the tech/auto
lists I have seen, the quality of the content and spirit of camaraderie
here is absolutely top notch.

Now I am even sadder that I cannot get to PF this year to meet some other
FT Enthusiasts and shake your hand, Ken.

Keep on Ford truckin'

Dave R. (still M-block devotee)

P.S. Interesting to note that 4 of the top 10 sites were Ford sites and 3
of those were Ford Truck sites.

It's not commonly available in hdw stores but can be had at job shop
supply houses. Made of canvas impregnated with epoxy resin of come
kind and there are hundreds of combinations for very specific uses.
I happened to find a small piece in the steel crib in our tool room
so I "borrowed" it with the boss's permission to try it out and it
was perfect. 1/2" ID and 5/8 or 11/16" OD as I recall.

You can use any kind of plastic tubing for this but needs to have
similar size to original tube which can be the tough part. You can
also have a shop make you a sleeve out of nylon or some other hard
plastic material for a small fee I should think or they may just have
the material like we did and will sell you a small piece.

In my case I didn't want the original part because it was too weak
and broke off 5 minutes after I installed it for a measely $16 so I
made something that won't break. Course the jaws of life won't be
able to pry my tail gate open in an emergency either.........:-)

Subject: FTE 61-79 - Re: Striker plate

I bought a pair of the STRIKER plates for my 1979 F-350 4x4. The FORD part
> number is E9AZ-5422008-A (know it fits 1973-1979 F-series & 1978/1979
Bronco's, but may fit other years) The part number (E9.......) means 1989 in
years. C is 1960's, D is 1970's, E is 1980's, and F is 1990's. That is how
that FORD part system works as a starting point. The "AZ" I have no idea
about.....it maybe a Mustang, but I am not sure. Hope this helps ya out!!!
