You and I have time to deal with the traffic but some do not so will
give up the pool in the hopes of getting an answer from one of their
own type with less Deacon and Gary and Jerry (bronco list) cluttering
up the mail box. This is what I see on the racing list, actually
page, not email. There are maybe 10 posters who answer questions and
many questions go unanswered due to lack of traffic and exposure to
the right people.

We have the right people and exposure on this list but some can't
handle the mail traffic. These could come in as a guest to pose
questions and have them answered directly to them I suppose......?
That's what Jack did for a while. Seemed to work for him, right

Subject: FTE 61-79 - Junk Yard A C install?????

>From what I remember the green and black wire on the underdash
unit goes to a switch that is looking at the position of the dampers
inside the unit. Basically, from what I can gather once the dampers
are lined up properly the switch is triggered and allows the compressor
to do it's thing. I could be wrong. My whole wiring harness is under
my dash and mounted on the unit itself. Kinda self contained. But
that switch is the only thing I can see that would tell it whether it was
supposed to heat or cool.

My fan has an orange and black wire the orange being the power and
black the ground. I know there are one wire blower motors out there,
but I find it odd that a black wire is hot instead of a ground. That my be
true for the '79.

Please, please understand my unit is out of a '71and may be (and
probably is) a totally different animal.

Hope this helps!

Hi All.
I just installed in my 75 F250 4x4, an AC unit I pulled from a 79 F250 at a
local wrecking yard. Every thing fits great, but I cant get the electrical
working.
I am hoping someone out there can help!!!!!.
First the heater control wiring is different!
Second there are four wires from the unit in the motor compartment, one is=20=
a
ground, one is for the compressor, where do the other two go (black &
green)???

I can only get power to the fan motor from the black wire.

Thanks!

I'm gonna throw my $.02 in here. First I don't agree that there isn't much
on the net for Ranchero guys. Let's not forget this is just a Falcon or LTD
in disguise so they have allot more in common with cars than trucks. I
owned a '63 Fairlane for awhile so I know there's plenty of support both on
& off the net for Falcon owners. Second, I agree with Steve D. about
diluting the knowledge base too much. Third, I really get way more posts
now than I have time to peruse thoroughly and I'm only on 2 lists, one FTE,
one non FTE. So there yuh go!

Going into the 85 bronco? I forgot what you said earlier but the 351
can be made to do anything the 390 can do and do it more cheaply
IMHO. There are simply more after market parts, inexpensively
available for this engine and it will bolt in to your present tranny
making the swap less of a hassle. It's also an easier engine to work
on when you get around to rebuilding it etc..

If you don't need the power of the 460 then the 351W should be just
the ticket :-) Personally I can't see myself ever NOT needing the
power of the 460. It's just to dang much fun :-)

Funny thing is you've been getting along with the I6 for this long
so I should think any improvement in power would be appreciated? The
351W I had in my 75 van had a bunch of torque when it was fresh.
When it died i just had a hankerin for mo powa so I stuck a
cleveland (4v) in there and that was a big mistake, no guts untill
you hit 40 or so, then the 429 (my favorite) and then the 460. Funny
thing is I've never, ever been in a situation where I had too much
power.....:-) (you just don't mash the go pedal as much :-))

Subject: FTE 61-79 - Att. Gary Bowling

Gary (and anybody else reading this post)

I am doing a frame up on my truck, a 67 mercury body on a 71 f250 4x4 frame
with 410 merc (okay, okay). The color scheme is wimbledon white with black
dash pad, salt and pepper seat (out of a stock 69) black trim around dash,
black door arm rests, black column, and black wheel. (BTW the lettering on
the tailgate will be dark grey, black is too harsh).

Anyway, the wheel from my 67 is perfect, but as Ford was prone to do, it
has been painted. It was molded in black plastic, then painted red, then
green (the 67 used to be holly green with green dashpad). So, I want to
make it black again, by removing the paint and polishing up the plastic
(since it was painted, it has never lost its richness to UV rays!). I was
thinking about the best way to remove the paint. I tried glass beading a
spot but the bead just bounced off. I tried a bit of thinners and they
worked, but that would probly do some serious damage to the plastic
underneath. I was thinking stripper may work but with the same problem of
stripping out the oils in the plastic underneath. What about sanding? is
that what you did? What papers did you use? Can you send me some info?

The next question is, how do I buff it back to shininess, if I do sand it?
Can you help with some directions? I know how to do a lot of things
(mechanically and prep-bodywork), but fine finishing is not one of my
strong points yet.

Any help you could give would be greatly appreciated. Anything I can do in
return, please don't hesitate to ask.

I'm pretty sure that the pre '65's don't have the proper crossmember to
mount engine side mounts, using the front bracket and bellhousing mounts
instead. As from my revious post, the 4X's were the only ones to use
this style after '65. I bet you'll have a hard time finding them. I had
a '61 F250 Styleside with a 292 and 4 speed back around '78 (wish I had
that one back)and I couldn't even get the 292 mounts for it back then.
Of course the aftermarket is kicking in more, so I don't know. But
stock, the 4X mounts are probably it.

If you have a 4x4 with the rear sump, of course it's no problem. Jamey's
idea is great, (Just 2 weekends ago I rustproofed my cross member on my
beater truck yet again!) but I would use tin (you could use, for example, a
length of stove pipe cut in half) so it could be reused, and not thrown out.

I know people cover the radiator but except for the diesels I don't
belive it's necessary. If the motor isn't hot the thermostat stays
closed so radiator coolant DOES NOT INFLUENCE THE ENGINE TEMP. It's
simple physics. If you don't open the door no cold air can come in
so guess what you have to pay attention too? It starts with a "T"
and ends with a "hermostat".

I've done it myself but since those days have discovered that keeping
the "carb" properly tuned so the engine can actually produce some
heat and keeping a decent thermostat in there keeps it right in the
middle where it belongs. If you let the engine run in the "carbon"
zone mixture wise then you may not be able to produce enough heat to
overcome the ambient temps in extremely cold weather. Lean it out
and advance the timing and put a good thermostat in it and you don't
need any radiator covers. Put a large enough radiator in it and you
can run it lean and advanced right into summer as well and guess what
the thermostat will do for you............that's right keep it at the
same temp it was all winter, sho nuff :-)

Now if you're racing or skidding logs.............we can start a new
thread here :-)

You need to get someone to help you tune the carb and get all the
parts working right including the choke, idle mixture, accellerator
pump and gaskets etc.. You could have some valve lash problems but
that's highly unlikely.

351C won't do very well on gas in a truck sorry to say. You could
put a 2v manifold and carb on it but the heads will still give you
fits. it's really the wrong engine to have in a truck. The tranny
and mounts you have will work with a 351W which is the way I would go
if I were doing this. If you can find a Ford circle track racer you
might be able to do the swap for free by selling him your Cleveland
and using the profits to get the windsor.

Wiring simply needs to get where it needs to go and do it without
shorting or losing contact so some care in making sure the splices
are soldered and properly taped and looking for loose metal brackets
or other parts (metal cable housings) which can touch the ignition
switch terminals or other terminals and taping them up etc..

Drum brakes can be made to work fairly well. Look into the
possibility of swapping the wheel cylinders for ones from an F-350 of
the same configuration. The 78's were a direct bolt in and your's
probably are too. Get semi-metalic shoes or metalic shoes, they are
supposed to fade less but also eat the drum faster I hear.

I removed the crome trim from my 65 F100 to polish it up as was dent
free. The hardest pieces to get off were the cowl pieces cause I had to
go thry the kick panel air vents and twist my arm all around to get to
the. The other hard one was right under the gas cap. Had to remove the
tank to get it off. What a pain that was. No special tools were needed
except for some double jointed elbows.

I know that east Idaho/N-W Wyoming Rednecks hate the site of a California

to live, even after the millionaires bought everything, then the
billionaires bought out the millionaires and now the locals can't afford to
live there anymore...

Subject: FTE 61-79 - Seats

Need some information. I want to put bucket seats in my 65 F100. Anyone
out there who has BTDT can you give me some suggestions. Pretty much
looking for something that I can bolt in and still be comfortable
sitting in daily. Have an abundance of salvage yards here with newer
stuff but they dont let you find what you need. You have to be escorted
so you dont steal anything. Damn I miss Ohio.

Thanks in advance.

Subject: FTE 61-79 - clutch chatter

Fordsters: I'm the fella who posted the original message about clutch
chatter (the West Texas teacher working in Mexico now who can't take
Stu's place on the list, etc.). Thanks to Azie, Marko, Ridgerunner Ron
and the rest for the input -- I've already learned more from you than in
the previous 2 years about this dang problem. I'm still open to any more
ideas, but I have a sneaking suspicion the clutch release arm might be a
good place to start(I checked it and it looks pretty wobbly). The others
ideas are all good, but since I pretty much replaced all the key parts
(motor mounts, pressure plate and rotor, throwout bearing, seals, pilot
bushing, etc) when I had the new engine put in, I don't think there is
dirt in there or oil from worn out parts. I won't get around to it
working on this for awhile (like Azie, I got other priories than a
chattery clutch) but I'll be sure and let every one know the results.
Any more ideas out there? Appreciate it,
gene gardner

The same is true for a '64 F100.

Subject: FTE 61-79 - brake probs

i use to have to pump the brakes in my truck due to air in the lines ( i know
i need to bleed the brakes). lately the brakes have improved, on their own.
How come? i checked the wheel cylinders and no fluid is leaking out. did the
air make it back up to the master cylinder? Can anybody explain this one?

Subject: FTE 61-79 - ADMIN: Ranchero list, content and big stick

Climbing on the sopabox...

First, the Ranchero list idea is dead. I've been informed by a
few list members that there already is a Ranchero list. I
brought up the issue in the first place because I had a couple
of Ranchero owners ask me about it.

Second, on the topic of non-FTE posts:

Please remember that this list generates more traffic than all
the other lists **combined**. It also generates the most
non-FTE content. This list dilutes its own content and sometimes
it gets frustrating. Nothing is more unenjoyable (except driving
a Chevy or import :-> ) then coming home to 300+ bounced emails
because several members mail boxes overflowed due to the days
enormous postings. Those of you who are against list splitting....
