I > was told by > Chiefs, Gateway, Autozone, and Pep boys that they didnt make them. > Okay, are you sure its air wooshing OUT ? A lot of the times its air wooshing IN. As you drive you are removing fuel from the tank, that's gotta be replaced by air from somewhere, if the vent is clogged,then you can end up with a vaccuum in the tank ... taken to extremes it can collapse the tank (ask how I know...) I did a little looking on my truck and found out that the rubber gasket that was on there was being sucked into the vent itself and plugging it ... so I had some gasket material laying around, found some about the appropriate thickness and cut a rough doughnut out of it (circle with a hole in the middle) after a few shots at trimming it to the right size I have a new gasket and no more vent problems ... Stant should still make the caps (at least they did a few years ago when I worked at the parts store), but they come with stainless or aluminum (didn't look close) covers instead of standard paintable ones ... you can disassemble them (2 screws on the back) and put your cover over them though ... also they may have the plastic handles you're looking for Lisa ... I'd check the gasket first though ...

In the meantime I would settle for a ignition computer that supports a knock sensor, since my 400 has 10.2:1 compression ratio. I would like to drop some total advance when the knock sensor detects detonation. I know that MSD makes a unit that will do that for turbos, but that's based on boost not detonation. Jacobs also makes a computer that they claim is suitable for this engine, but I am trying to get the details on this unit. Does anyone know of anything available with this capability?

Somewhere around the sending unit. > > I may be all wet but I'm sticking to it. > Okay, here's the deal as far as i've seen it go ... there are 2 different systems we're talking about here ... one is the old style, which consists of a vented cap to let air in or out as necessary, the other is the newer "recovery" style which is supposed to take expanding air, pass it through the charcoal canister to get the "bad stuff" out and then go into the air cleaner so it gets burned with the rest of the air/fuel mixture ... the older styles have a couple different approaches from what I've seen ... I had the one like above on my truck, but that didn't work well with a filler neck for the ohter version, so I switched the tanks out (?!?!) anyway this older version doesn't have hte recapture stuff in it, it does have a vent tube that runs parallel to the fill tube, and enters the fill tube at the very top (so it doesn't get used as another fill tube) ... this style requires the vent in the cap to work both ways, as this is the only way out for any expansion ... and the only way in if there is suction from the gas exiting ... the other has a check valve in the cap ... even older units may not have a separate vent hose and may just run through the filler neck on the assumption that you're never going to pump gas fast enough to fill the whole neck up ... One thing that you need to watch on these is that the vent hose stays higher or at least as high as the fill hose, otherwise you'll get gas sloshing back into the vent and plugging the vent ... result? won't take gas very fast at all as it needs to bubble back through the filler tube to vent out ... One thing I've considered doing is avoiding the steel portion of the vent tube altogether and just running the hose up and zip tying it to the top portion of the vent tube but still leaving it exposed to the air, this way its a constant, or at least continually, down hill run to the tank so it won't store water or gas in it,and with a cloth of some sort over the top of it zip tie that on too :) it shoudl keep the big chunks out ... Hope this helps ... Lemme know if I took to big of a leap on one of the assumptions too ...

Thanks in advance Wish answered:>> It seems like Azie was babbling something about back plate spacing once ... and that the duallie is a different rearend than a dual rear wheel, so the dually rear should fit under your truck, since they use the same bed with the cosmetic flares on the outside right ? The axles are probably Dana 60's or 70's depending on year and configuration and all that jazz ... dunno about ratios from the factory, likely 3.73 or 4.10's ... I reply: My son is running dual wheels on a Dana 70 under his '79 F350 4X4 that was originally under a F350 pickup (single rear wheel).. The inner tire rubbed the springs, so a 3/4" spacer was fabricated out of aluminum and longer lugs were installed to compensate for the extra wheel and spacer on each side. We've never had any trouble out of it, but then it has never been really loaded either. It is rarely ever used for anything except for My son and his two sons to "go cruising" in. Has NP435 and 460 in it. Costly cruising if you ask me, but he didn't ask. Just because it has dual wheels on it doesn't make it a "duallie" That name is for the factory F350's that had dual wheels and outside flares on the pickup style bed to cover the wheels. Those rearends are wider than the dual wheel rearend under my farm truck with duals on it. It came as a C&C(cab & chassis) and has a 14' flatbed on it. I'm led to believe that the "duallie" rear and the E 350(van style) has the same rearend. I do not know this for a fact.. I do know that my farm truck and a duallie of the same year has different length axles.

Addressing the rearend: Yes, you have to pull the 8 bolts that hold your axle shafts in, and slide the shaft out and set it somewhere. At this point, you are going to need a special socket-- either (they have 2 sizes--) a 2 1/2 for a 2 9/16 inch rounded corner socket. I bought one from Napa for $30 dollars, but I needed it right away. Between the two nuts that you can see once you pull the axle shaft out, there is a crush washer on a little keyway-- it has a bunch of bendable ears on it that fold over the flat spots on the nuts, bend the ones that face the outside nut up straight, take the outer nut off, the washer off, and the inner nut off. take a hammer and pound the washer ears flat and set it to the side. Now (if you're lucky) you can slide the drum off-- watch out your outer wheelbearing doesn't fall into the floor in some dirt causing you to have to spend lots of time cleaning it.. 8-) Once the drum is off, see if it needs turned-- I had some guys arguing with me at the shop over the specs a drum can be turned-- Dana - 60's used two different sized drums-- a 12 inch, and a 12 1/8 inch. As far as doing the brakes-- it's self explanatory-- I bought a new spring kit-- for only $10 bucks, it's worth it-- You might need a hand with this because taking off the little keeper springs that hold the shoe to the backing plate is simple, but those new springs going back on makes you wanna say a few cuss words and yell at the emergency brake lever that is in your way.. 8-) You'll see-- ;-) I neverseized my self adjuster threads while I was at it and cleaned them all up. After you get your drums turned, it's worth the extra few bucks to put new bearing/axle shaft seals into each of them ($1.50 for timkens) because the shop that turns the drum will ruin the old ones anyway taking out the inner bearing. I repacked my bearings with wheel bearing grease because I figured it couldn't hurt anything, and the advise of the list agreed.. 8-) It'll take a few moments when driving for the gearlube to work it's way back out to the hubs that leaked out when you took the axle shaft out... (make sure you check your fluid level when everything is all done!) Put the outer bearing on, it's all feel here-- some do it differently than others, so I said the HeX with it and put them down to the same tight (but snug) feeling I do the front bearings (and with my luck I'll be doing these bearings again withing a month (smile)) and put the washer back on, outer nut to about 85 lbs, and bend the ears in and out accordingly-- then I just used permatex formagasket on the axle shafts like the previous person. Fill your axle lube, use a jack and jack up one side of the rear axle, then the other (to flow lube to hubs-- I don't know if it helps, but it couldn't hurt I figured!) Set the the brakes by the adjuster and put the little rubber boot back in the backing plate, and go test your brakes.. Front axle works the same exact way with more little parts for the hub and no emergency brake crap to get in the way! 8-) Tony tony pscico.com http://www.ford-trucks.com//lc/lc.php?action=do&link=http://www.pscico.com/~tony At 12:51 PM 10/6/99 -0600, you wrote: >I am about to do the brakes on my 74 f250 4x4 with heavy duty drums all >round (GVW-7100), and I have a few questions.

Seems like your supposed to rotate the wheel while tightening to spec to seat the bearing, and then to back off 90 degrees. I've never used an axle gasket yet, but if one of the 3 Dana rears around here start to leak, I probably stop using RTV there in place of the gasket.

That's not a good thing at all. My first suggestion would be to hook up a mechanical gauge you could have an electrical problem. If your engine didn't have any oil, you'd know right away. Id be looking at the wire for the gauge. It sat in the same spot for years and years. Then you moved it all around when you rebuilt the engine, problems are bound to appear. Happened on my bros 84. He spent a few hours just taping up wires the insulation had crumbled off of. Really amazing the truck never caught fire.
