How about the fuel line, why go to rubber on it ? It seems to me the rubber would be slower to cool down than the aluminum/steel parts they are replacing...especially the fuel line. Also on the electric pump, did you put a restricter of some sort in there ? Or is this one designed to work with a carburetor, its possible that it will start cold just fine because you need more fuel, but are flooding out when its already warm because you don't need that much ... oh I should have mentioned, usually elec. fuel pumps are quite capable of filling up a carb, and without some restrictions may blow past the needle/seat valve filling the fuel bowl and splashing into the intake. >Anybody have any ideas about whats wrong? I'm thinking about trying >a 3/4" plywood spacer - anybody tried that? > I would also check the timing and be sure you weren't too far advanced on that, as advanced timing will make things hard to start as well. As for the plywood spacer, those are known to absorb some of the fuel as it goes past, I'd look into the phenolic spacers, if not a stock replacement ...

A while back, someone mentioned travelling to Brazil and seeing many _brand new_ Ford Granadas, D*dge D*rts, and other "dark days of Detroit" models on the streets. They claimed that this was a result of the big makers sending their obsolete tooling and dies to various third-world factories and licensing them to produce those models for local sale. For the intrepid traveller, this could be a good source for brand new FE parts; however, the tale has the feel of an urban legend.

Since there are no other 400 Ford motors there's no need for the M, just like there's no 390C or 302W. Obviously since the 351M and 400 share the same block it's easiest to simply refer to them as M blocks. Don't know anything about Y blocks but on the 335s D5AZ, D7TE-A2B, D8 are all either 351Ms or 400s.

Towards the rear of the block you'll find two more bosses that run through the oil supply galley. If your block has plugs in these bosses, you'll need to pull one out and look down the hole. It should be open for hydraulic lifter usage. If it has plugs installed below the top(center) galley, the passages are drilled, but blocked for solid lifter usage. Any questions? This can be confusing! This was an aftermarket function and not factory. All the early FE('60 thru '67) hi performance solid lifter blocks did not have the drilled access passages for hydraulics. Many people did exactly what you described to convert to solids from factory hydraulics, though. I did a couple of them myself.

I have a question regarding the pins or nails that attach the cowl to hood weatherstripping. Are these small pins simialr to the pins that hold the insulation to the firewall? Should I cut them off and weld the holes shut and drill new holes when I reattach the weatherstripping. Also, I will be replacing the firewall insulation. What are the chances the existing holes in the firewall will match the new insulation. Were the holes jigged on installation or do you think the guys on the line just drilled holes in apprximately the same location. I'm planning on having the floor and firewall coated with Speedliner to help reduce noise and prevent corrosion of the floor if water gets under the mat. After 6 years of collecting parts I'm finally ready to assemble them. If anybody is interested, I found a dash pad in a 66 the other day that has only a 1 inch crack in it with the rest being in perfect shape.

The blue smoke is oil, possibly from your valve guides, when your heads were rebuilt they knurled your guides to get the right fit on your valves. Now the knurle is wearing and oil is getting passed. The other problem is 'heat soak.' Because you have an aluminum manifold too much heat is conducted to your carb and percolation occurs. This is easy to fix. Get an insulating spacer between your carb and manifold to prevent heat conduction.

The truck steers better, for sure, but it still tramlines a little and the steering is still stiff. The tech said all steering linkage components are ok. We recently discussed steering box lubrication on the list, and I was surprised to learn that others had discovered grease rather than gear lube, as I had. I found a pinkish grease that had been grooved by the moving parts and replaced it with 90wt. It made no difference. I'd really like to fix this problem. Would a steering box adjustment help?

Just remove the old cowl lacing that was on there (usually it was gone after 10 years. The kit from Dennis Carpenter comes ready to install with clips on the lacing. They run about 16 or 17 bucks. To return it to factory appearances (if you are as anal as I) you need to use the 3M flexible black strip caulking behind each hole. Put a little dab in there and push the new lace kit in. The firewall insulation is just as easy. You can buy the kit which runs about 150 bucks or so. Make sure you get the metal Christmas tree plugs from Carpenter or Melvins, you do order them separately. They work much better. It does require a little manipulating of the firewall to get them to fit but over all, Mine went in fairly easily and looks good. There are only 3 holes which require firewall fasteners. Sounds like you are coming along very nicely with the project.

Wide tires often cause it. The cab mounts are ok. I think I'll separate the pitman arm from the steering and see if the problem is isolated to either half of the system.

I used a schematic and parts list that Mike Sloane gave me. I bought all the parts from Digikey (www.digikey.com) except two of the capacitors that had been discontinued, which I scrounged from some old Commodore 64 boards I keep around for that purpose. The discontinued part number was P1353-ND, a quick search at Digikey revealed many, many others that would be suitable. 100 uF is the value. This circuit uses a switching type regulator that is designed as a replacement for the 7805. I assume it uses these capacitors, as well as some zener diodes and a resistor, to control voltage spikes and present a minimum load to the regulator. I'm not sure if any of this is necessary as the gauges are always there and probably aren't too suceptible to voltage spikes. I used a small plastic case and no circuit board, just soldered the parts across a couple of bus wires I put in with hot glue. When done, there are three wires, voltage in, out and a ground, that I soldered to their original locations on the "flexible circuit board" that is behind the instruments. It checked out at a steady five volts and appears to be working OK. Total cost was about $30. Feel free to ask if you have any questions.

Has it sat for 20 years? If so a rebuild would be in order. For the swap you will need the engine to frame mounts for 302/351W (68 to at least 77 will work). This is a 2WD, right? You will need truck motor mounts (I used model year 70 for ordering parts). You'll need an auto steering column, or an auto floor shifter. You can probably use the same drive shaft(s), I had to shorten mine as I had a 3 speed manual. And definitely a bigger radiator, I bought one that was intended for 302 through 400 for $170 (new) at a radiator shop. Does the Galaxy motor have the accessories (P/S, Alternator, etc.), if not you can get those from 70 and up cars with the 302. My engine came from a 68 Cougar so I had to change all the accessory brackets to work in the truck (because of the change of the water pump inlet circa 69 or 70). Its really a fairly easy swap.

I need new door panels but they aren't the standard hard plastic panels they are brown and padded with an off white stripe running through them and pockets at the bottom of the door. I like the way they look in the truck and don't want to have to get the hard plastick ones (like JC Whitless & Sears sell). Perhaps someone knows of a place where I could pick some up. Maybe one of you has a set you would be looking to get rid of? Do I have any hopes of finding these most likely outrageously rare panels? I've never seen them in any other 73-79 F-series.

It is really a great idea, and should be much more reliable. A couple of comments (without seeing the schematic): 1) The capacitor you couldn't find is a low impedance type, and most switching regulators require this, depending on the switcher's frequency. You should substitute ONLY another low impedance type. The P1245-ND would be a good choice, although it is a radial-lead type. In your case, since you aren't using a printed wiring board, this should still fit. 2) Switchers are usually rather layout-dependent. While I have successfully breadboarded a few older designs, many of the current chips used to drive the switching element need specific ground routing to avoid unwanted oscillations. If your circuit supplies enough current to run all of your instrument panel (measure the 5V under full load), then you have dodged the bullet. I am aware of several off-the-shelf 12v to 5v switchers in small packages, complete with heatsink. I think they are good for about 1A. What is the total current requirement for your dashboard? Thanks for sharing this.
