Well you're never too old to learn a new trick and some "new" tricks are
just things you've been too lazy to properly implement. Because I had
trouble with a set of wires which did not have the circular ring on the plug
socket to "snap" on to the plug when I used silicone grease I did not use it
on my new Motorcraft wires and the boots stuck!

#$%$$##

. Now the set I
had trouble with were the old style with the split socket that never really
stayed on all that well without grease but with grease they just kept
popping off no matter how I pinched the sockets so I decided I wouldn't use
grease any more.

The newer style has a snap ring to keep the socket tight on the plug so will
not pop off even if you grease it so I should have used grease on them when
I put them on but opted not to so I have two wires with damaged boots and
one the socket pulled right off the wire (due to my impatience). All of
this is old business, I knew better but the 45 degree boots were also a
mistake for this engine. This is what prevented me from using my boot
pliers to pull them. With the stock heat shields around the plugs thee is
no room for the pliers with 45 degree boots but with straight boots I could
have worked them off easily.

My next set will be straight boots and will have grease in them :-)

I used resistor plugs because I was in a hurry and grabbed what they had but
my first choice with heli wires would have been non resistor plugs. I now
have lots of time to hunt some up and first excuse I have to work on it
again I'll slip them in along with my new, straight wires :-) BTW, that
engine is sure easy to work on compared to one with air and all that stuff.
Every plug was easy to get to and use a ratchet on but I have to get me a
new plug wrench with a rubber insert in it. I pulled the other one out and
tossed it when it kept getting in my way but without it you have a high risk
of plug breakage so it's on my list next time I drive by Sears :-) (thought
I heard one crack last night but it could have been my wrist too :-)) I
always carefully find the center positition when making the last pull on the
wrench but it's still Ifffffffy :-)

An interesting thing happened while I was removing the starter from the
lincoln 460 on the floor to replace the one in the bronco which died an
early death (only about a year old) but it was a cheap rebuild (Michigan
TBA, $27). What happened was that as soon as I took it off the 460 it
turned into a 3 pole starter!!.......Ok so it was already a 3 pole but on a
460??? Ok, it was also a used or rebuilt starter and probably out of a junk
yard but at least it works :-) They work on 460's too for a while but I
burned several up before switching to the 4 pole version with the solenoid
(spelled it right didn't I ?)

AnnnnnnyHoooo, The bronco starts and runs pretty well and I had to tune the
carb down after installing the new Autolite plugs since it was idling faster
than before (I love it when I do a job and it actually seems to have been
needed :-)) I discoverd that the passenger side idle adjuster screw does
absolutely nothing#$#$%#

$%^. Either it's plugged or wide open, not sure
but the driver side screw will make the engine tune change where the
passenger side did nothing no matter where I put the driver side screw. I
also tightened the 4 mounting nuts on the carb due to some obvious leaking
around the base gasket and the engine tune changed (slowed down which
indicates that it must have been sucking a little air). Some of you may
recall that I left them looser than normal due to secondary shaft bind due
to bad mount surface in the Edlebrock manifold. I've been trying an
experiment on the linkage since I have so much trouble with the secondaries
sticking at idle, that is, won't completely close so it idles way too fast.
I use silicone spray on everything now and it actually seems to be working
at least as well as oil did and maybe even a little better. I noticed when
I sprayed the throttle plate shafts the engine sped up a little. I didn't
think there was anything in silicone spray for it to burn???

On another, related, note, the plugs appear to be fuel fouled, not oil
fouled so it's probably running a little rich. All plugs looked about the
same and none were oil fouled which is a good sign. Maybe I'll be "forced"
to pull out my Holley repair box (kid's lunch box no longer needed :-)) and
stick some different jets in there :-) Sure beats Christmas shopping as a
pass time :-)

My valve cover gaskets are leaking already##$$%^%$#

$#$ Just put them on
about a year ago and was very carefull to straighten out the lips and clean
everything and then used felpro yellow gasket cement on the valve cover side
only. Next set I install with get felpro cement on both sides and I may try
rubber ones this time. All the new cars use rubber......you suppose there
is a reason? BTW, the bolts are tight enough that I could gain nothing by
tightening them either and it's leaking like a sieve. Oil consumption has
gone back up again and I believe this is why. Both sides are really wet :-(

I think I mentioned that I got some sheet metal to weld in over the
christmas holidays. I like to have a few projects on the shelf waiting for
some spare time :-) (My projects, not the dreaded HDL)

From: "Peters, Gary (G.R.)"
Subject: RE: FTE 61-79 - 400 ing timmin

The reason I made this post was due to the fact that most engines have a
fairly narrow range of initial timing they run well in so if you are trying
to find that spot and maintain it you need tools to determine where it is.
The initial timing, of course, is only a small part of the puzzle which is
why I always caution everyone to make sure the vac is working and the
mechanicals in the dizzy are free and smooth before even attempting any
tuning. Otherwise you are wasting your time and will be very disappointed
with any results you get.

As an example, I suddenly had a spark knock problem so checked the timing
and it was way off so I did as many inexperineced ones do, without analyzing
"why" it "suddenly" changed, and reset the initial only to discover that
something was really not working so then proceded to inspect the dizzy only
to find that the vac advance plate had seized. The fact is, I have never in
all my experinece had a dizzy actually move on me :-) They just don't
typically move so something else "must" be the problem but we always do the
easy thing first don't we?? (I have had the caps come off and run so
retarded that the engine caught on fire though :-)) Back in the old days
the timing would change as the points rubbing block wore down but you
adjusted the points not the dizzy unless you actually replaced the points
which sometimes caused the timeing to shift :-) Anyway, I worked on that
for an hour or so and got it working to my satisfaction and, as might be
expected in this case, had to reset the initial again as well. It then ran
quite well with little knock :-) To this day I have never had a problem I
could recognize related to a moved damper ring but I have some really old
engines now so it's just a matter of time before I have to deal with this
myself :-)

In a pinch I agree with everything you said before and in this post. I was
pointing out the "best" way to do it for the long term :-)

75 was the dura spark 1 and had a different plug than the later ones did but
it was still dura spark type ignition. I believe thay called it something
else at that time though, not sure what it was called. Anyway it functions
essentially the same as later ones for all practical purposes :-)

Not sure about the wiring but a neutral switch typically stops the starter
from being engaged not the ignition. The wire you refer to may be the white
wire on the newer ones which goes to the start relay, not sure.

BTW, It's best when using a positive stop for this to take out all the plugs
so there is no pressure to fight against to cause over torquing the stop
against the piston top. They are pretty tough but I personally would be
cautious about slamming the piston against a stop with any force :-)
Doesn't help the accuracy either :-)

Also worth mentioning, DON'T use the starter motor to turn the motor over
while the positive stop is installed. You implied this above but I thought
it would be good to spell out. I would disconnect the NEG battery terminal
for this.

There is one older wheel type (that you, Big John,
have also alluded to) you should never use on a normal
duty truck at all, much less with radials, and that is
the split-rim.

I know a widow who lost her husband while he was
simply checking the air in his tires. Ring blew off
and took half of his head with it. These wheels were
made for low speed agricultural type use, and not
meant for pliable sidewall rubber. 10 ply tires
minumum, and a 60 mph maximum speed, and a 20 inch
wheel diameter really. Anything smaller is more prone
to failure. New-style split rims have some safety
features built in, throw those old ones away! Or
maybe clean them up and sell them to a collector for
an original style restoration that won't be driven
much.

Another thing I've found is wheels from mid 60's
trucks on back have a different radius to the bead
surface, more straight up and down. They don't seal
to radials as well as they did to bias ply. A radial
is alot more pliabe in the sidewall and needs that
bead surface pushing up from underneath. On an
earlier wheel it will tend to walk inward and leak. I
don't know what year they changed, but I'd say to
avoid stock wheels that predate 1969 (this is vague, I
don't know when they changed them, but the wheels on
my '67 never would take radials well) unless it's a
show truck that has to have them to be original, and
is driven very little. But there again you'd be
running pias ply tires anyway.

Subject: FTE 61-79 - questions about power steering, disc brakes, and 460 mounts on a '66

I am looking at my recently purchased '65 custom cab long bed with shot C6
and WEAK 352. it has a clean, straight body, uncut dash, but needs paint.
I also have a '77 parts truck, and a '76 T-bird with low milage 460. I have
several questions that i want to ask in regards to swapping some of the
parts from the '77 and the 460 from the bird. I need some of you guys that
have experience with these swaps tell me whats up with the modifications
that i want to make.

1. how hard is it to swap the disc brake system from the '77 into the '65?
do i need to change the I beams for the ones from the 77, or can i get by
with just changing the spindles?
2. can I use the '77 booster/master cylinder, or should i find one more
appropriate?
3. is the power steering box a direct swap? can I keep the original 65
steering collumn?
4. What is the "accepted" method of installing a 460 in place of a FE? are
there motor mounts that will allow me to use the old FE supports, or do they
need to be changed as well?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Subject: FTE 61-79 - Adjusting the Steering Slop Out, Sector and rack steering

>>2..Rotate the steering wheel from lock to lock and position it to the center
of travel, regardless of how the steering wheel looks in that position. If
it is not centered then you may wish to remove it and relocate it to the box
center if it is also going to put it in the center on the road. For best
handling they should be in sync. If not then something in the steering
linkage, frame, suspension or/and body mounts etc. is not correct.

Just a comment here. If someone has replaced the rag joint or messed with
the steering column and not put it in correctly, then centering the steering
wheel for looks will involve more than simply taking it off the column and
putting it back on. Once you get the box centered as described, if your
steering wheel is upside down or something, you may need to disconnect the
rag joint, rotate the steering wheel, then put it all back together. There
should be a ping mark on the steering wheel and the end of the shaft, but if
you don't have both original to each other, they probably won't match. Use
your turn signal cancellers to determin the center spot for your steering
wheel. You should turn about 1/4 turn either way to hit the first click,
maybe a little farther on the older beasts.

I'm not sure how clear all of this is. I haven't finished my first cup of
coffee yet this a.m.

William,
Sorry about your 460. I rebuilt a 429 for my Torino (3.25 rear)years ago,
and it has a Crane Econo-power 272 hydraulic. I can get you the exact specs
off the cam-card (it's at home and I'm at work) if you like. The cam
was supposed to be a good bottom-end cam, and I can attest to that. The
torque, even from 1200 rpms is amazing. The cam makes plenty of vacum
(I haven't had any trouble w/ my power brakes). Crane claimed the cam
would have a slight lope at idle, but I cannot detect any. Doesn't matter
to me; the thing flys.
See what type of rocker-arms you have. The rail-type rockers can't handle
a high-lift cam and have been known to drop valves into the cylinder. The
good news is that you can convert easily to other rocker arms.

Good luck.

From: "Peters, Gary (G.R.)"
Subject: RE: FTE 61-79 - Adjusting the Steering Slop Out, Sector and rack steering

Not sure, John, what the steering shaft has to do with the turn signals?
The assy's I'm familiar with all use the wheel to operate everything so
repositioning the wheel solves all the problems AFAIK? On 2wd systems there
are large and small pins in the rag joint so they can not be swapped but on
4x4's they can be. I can't think of any reason to be concerned about the
position of the shaft itself?

Centering the wheel is for more than just looks, it also helps you keep
track of changes to the steering system and makes handling the vehicle a bit
easier IMHO so it should be centered but not at the cost of running down the
road with the steering box out of center which is why I went through the
steps in the order that I did. The box needs to be in it's centered
position when the vehicle is going straight and the wheel should be as well,
for best handling.

One of the jobs of a good alignment man is to ensure that the steering wheel
is centered when he is done but he is supposed to do the steps I mentioned
to accomplish that. If it does not line up when the box is centered then
there is more work to be done. Some part of the linkage, suspension, body
mounts etc. is not correct and needs to be addressed.

In my case I adjusted the track bar but in retrospect I have a bad driver
side body mount and it would not surprise me at all to discover when I
correct that that my steering wheel is no longer centered. This will be a
clue to me that my track bar is not correct after all even though the bronco
handles very well. It takes very little movement of the track bar to change
the steering wheel position 1/4 turn which is about how far it was out. The
axle offset was not affected very much so is not causing a problem but it
would not surprise me, now that I've had time to look at more things, that
my track bar adjustment was not necessary, the body mount should have been
corrected first.

My personal view and the view which is taught in alignment school is that
once the wheel is placed in a level position on the shaft in the center of

Tried that; it doesn't work.
My thought is that the switch to sense it's in neutral (or park) is
broken; I thought I'd just ground out (or un ground) the wire

the
tranny to say "it's always in park" -- my buddy says that'd be better

You can jump the switch directly by using the plug off the bad switch and
simply tying the wires together once you determine that it is the switch. I
ran my van that way for years :-)

It's not a ground, it actually connects the ignition switch start wire to
the start relay. It is in series with these two so all you have to do is
complete the circuit in the harness wire lead to the tranny.

I think this is your best bet. Move the proportioning valve also, if

Not sure about '65s, but 67-72 steering columns are about 1-1/2 inches
different length for manual/power steering apps. You may be able to
modify your column with a shorter shaft, which is what I plan to do

10 or 15 degrees by rotating the crank and feeling for piston movement. If
you don't have a degree wheel you can also just mark the pulley and some
part of the block which is located well for this as a pointer or bolt on a
pointer, install a positive stop and rotate it both ways and mark the pully
to the pointer in both positions then split the difference to get TDC.

You can make a positive stop from an old spark plug by breaking out the
porcelain and tapping it for a long bolt. I made both 18mm and 14mm
versions. If you have a long needle, axial movement indicator you can find
it fairly accurately that way too but the degree wheel and positive stop is
the only "accurate" way to do it. All other methods are compromised by
engine clearances and crank throw geometry.....physics :-)

All this "Exact" science is not that necessary. I agree with replacing the
balancer if it has "walked", but finding TDC isn't that complicated with a
dowel. It won't be perfect, maybe, but it will surely crank and run well
enough to continue the timing process by ear or by vacuum gage. I also
agree you can do all that tool making and cranking of the engine over and
back to get it exactly on TDC, but I don't think it necessary to do for a
start up and timing process by gage or ear.

Thanks Tim. I used Eastwood's corroless primer and their chassis black.
The primer is supposed to go right over rust and bond. I originally didn't

Took it off and the ser man called me over to look. About 10" of the rim had

True, but you can use tubes, as I did on the former

Don, as a service station employee of many years, and an owner of split

I wouldn't be afraid to drive anywhere with properly seated split rims.
If you follow proper procedures while working on them, you minimize your
probabilities of being injured. I've fixed hundreds of split rims, from
16" pickup rims to construction equipment, and have never had one blow.
A couple of close calls, though!

In my opinion, both.

I don't like them, never have liked them, never will like them.
The problem comes along when the seat for the removable section
starts to rust, and you cant get the section to seat correctly. It will
appear to seat right, but as soon as you put some pressure in the tire
it'll blow the rim off. Bad things happen to good people, no matter
how careful they are. Don't be one of these people, you're life is

I think it's important to qualify what you mean by a so called "split
rim" My 67 originally had split rims so does my 72, but they differ
significantly. The 67 style had an outer sealing ring which was a solid hoop
that seperated from the main part of the rim. These splits with the solid
rings are by far the most dangerous. This danger was present not only
during repair, but at *any* time (operating vehicle, checking pressure,
basically whenever) In the early seventies, they modified the ring and the
rim so that it inter-locked better. The best way to describe the outer ring
is that it had a gap and looks like a very large piston ring. These posed
far less danger of separation once inflated properly. Greatest risk was
during the first pressure up after a take-down. Once the ring was seated it
was reasonably safe. Rim failure for split rims in general is usually
related to rust corrosion. When I had the old style rims on my truck I once
had the outer ring blow right off the tire while (over) loaded. I was going
30 when it happened and it was the passenger side rear which was facing a
large corn lot; so no problem. I had a land mark to go by when it happened.
Would you believe that I searched for quite some time and never found that
outer ring? I imagine from the sound that I heard that it launched itself
with enough force to go air born and clear into the next county. True story.
Even if someone wanted one of these older ones for a show vehicle I wouldn't
sell them just for fear that someone might hurt themself.
