I had mine converted for $160 !!! > Not necessarily. Each vehicle is different in it's needs, depending not only on the current condition of the system, but also what it was originally equipped with. For example, some vehicles will need their rubber hoses replaced if they are not barrier-type (R134a will seep through nitrile hoses due to it's smaller molecule size). Others may already have had such a replacement for other reasons and not need it and most newer vehicles (say '92-up) are already so equipped. This is only one example. Also some compressors are not as ameanable to R134a as others. I understand the Ford FX-15 will promptly die if you put in R134a. R134a does not return oil nearly as well as does R12 and the FX-15, among others, relies more on oil in circulation in the system rather than in a "crankcase" like the York, for example, for lubrication. I have two trucks with FX-15 compressors and, as such, converted from R12 to R406A rather than R134a. A lot of work is being done on alternatives which you can investigate if you like at www.aircondition.com (I am not affiliated with this site or any alternative manufacturer in any way). Some are good, some are not so good apparantly. R406A has worked very well in my trucks so far. I can tell you this - because of the incompatibility between R12 and R134a (hell they are downright hostile to one another), the less you replace, the more likely you are to have problems. I'm not saying a $160 job is not just as good as a $700 job for your application, just that system contamination is more likely the more componenents you reuse. The number of variables that can cause your compressor to flop, for example, are quite numerous. I can see why some shops would want to replace the whole thing rather than try to warrant a less thorough job. _ _| ~~.

I wasn't going to use the cork intake gaskets at first. I laid a thick bead of UltraCopper silicone down where the cork would normally go and waited for it to cure. I then proceeded to "chicken out" when I formed an image in my mind of the silicone trying to seal a large gap combined with some vaccuum pressure (I then removed the silicone).

Maybe you already know this but I'm gonna spout it out anyways. The major diff between the 73-77 and the 78-79 F-series front clips would be the placement of the turn indicators and headlights on the 73-77 the indicators are above the headlights and the headlights are round on the 78-79 F-series including the Bronco's the indicators are below the headlights and the headlights are square. My assumption is that the two are not interchangeable due to diff headlight hardware and shapes. Could be wrong!

I also read somewhere about a company who makes graphics that were offered on production specials, such as the black cowl and side graphics on the boss 302, or the "billboards" on the rear quarters of the old 'c*das, but i can't find the magazine it was in. any chance anybody has referance to this company or has used their products? thanks Ian 79 F250 4x4 4spd 351M "True blue,,,Ford blue" == FTE: Uns*bscribe and posting info http://www.ford-trucks.com/faq.html ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 16 Jun 1999 21:40:55 EDT From: OldTrux aol.com Subject: FTE 61-79 - 66 F100 4x4 Anyone in the Great Lakes (NE Illinois) area know where I can find some decent (and inexpensive) rear leaf springs for my 66 F100 4x4?

I believe I will attempt to find a '75 - '76 F-100 neck, per Rich's suggestion. I have checked out the neck repair kits, and find them too crummy. If I have to, I'll resort to the dealer, once I verify the year/model I need. If anyone has one of these laying around on a parts truck or something, I will gladly pay you a princely sum. Well, maybe a serfly sum...
