After it started running rough go uphill and later when I'd put it in gear, I got into some much needed maintenance: Rebuilt the carb, replaced the plugs, plug wires, points, condenser, distributor cap, coil and the wire from the points to the negative side of the coil (with the resistor cable). Checked through the wiring and it checks out.Just won't start, barely catches. I've got a neighbor who's been wrenching for a living for quite a while, and though he's a Ford man, he's baffled too. It did start once or twice, but ran REAL rough. Point gap at .018, plugs at .035. Good compression, but I'm beginning to wonder if I shouldn't pull the valve covers to be sure the valves are all operating (split cam?) I've been pulling the plugs (they're all wet with fuel), to dry them and have checked the gap and the firing order a couple of times just to be sure. Someone once told me a long time ago, that at this altitude (near Denver) the #1 plug wire shouldn't be in the #1 position on the distributor cap, but I don't remember which way to bump them around (I would assume it would go into the #8 position for the advance?), but I think it would start as I moved the distributor if it were just timing.

The weatherstripping I got from them for my 69 all started falling apart within a year. I ended up getting new ones from someone like Carpenter, and they are much better....

They can't be all bad since the Lightning guys seem to be able to make them last, mostly with help from Level10 and a couple other places.

Not sure if I posted this or not, but I recently heard Art Carr makes a full manual valve body for the E4OD that eliminates all the electronics. May be an OD option for some big block guys if you don't mind clutchless shifting. It's about $400 from what I hear.

Are you saying you put a resistor wire in there? Should be straight from the points to the coil negative side (no resistance wire) and insulated along with the points in the distributor housing from where it passes thru the housing. If a resistor wire is used, it should be between the ignition power and the + side of the coil with a wire around for +12V in the start position. It is also better to set your timing while cranking it and use a dwell meter. It is a lot more accurate. No. 1 can be anywhere you want (including #1 on the cap) as long as #1 cylinder is up and ready to fire in that position and the firing order and rotation is correct. Good luck Harry.

Allison" Subject: E4OD/AOD If I am not mistaken the E4OD trannies had some of the same troubles as the AOD's. There are fixes for both to make them bulletproof and some of the fixes involve modifying the valve bodies or replacing them altogether. IIRC the AOD is common for burning up due to a lack of fluid flow throughout the case. Most guys open up the oiling passages and/or orfices like the factory should have to solve this problem and never have trouble again. In fact, this months current issue of 'Super Ford' mag has an article on a company that rebuilds the AOD. While they don't go into great detail they do cover some common prob's and the fixes they perform. They also warranty one of their builds to over 1200 hp. Some guys I know would LOL at that hp rating in an AOD but obviously LenTech knows what they are doing if they are successful. The mag also has an article on an awesome looking Mustang prototype called the FR 500. Apparently Ford built 3 of these rockets and are seriously considering putting a version on the street to compete w/the vette. It would be cool if you could afford its potential price tag :( Lastly, I spotted an ad for truck parts including dash covers. Check out www.coverlaymfg.com They produce the covers and door panels. I've never done business with them personally but may contact them about the dash covers as mine is chewed up. Enjoy the short work week! J. Allison > From: "G & J Boling" > Subject: Re: E4OD > If this tranny is the one with the internals some what like the C6, I have been told they have had ALLOT of troubles with them.

Garrett Nelson >I have a 1966 F100 and I need new weather-stripping for the doors >and windows. The people at the parts stores laugh at me when I ask >them about it. Any ideas where I can order the stuff? I think Dennis Carpenter makes most of the pieces you would get through other vendors. Expensive, but quality. If you are on a tight budget and not restoring the truck, you might consider snipping a piece of the old strip to check the cross-sectional profile. You might be able to match this against something similar at your parts store. I once ran into a guy with a wild modified early Econoline. I asked him where he got the weatherstripping. He said it was from Pep Boys and he only paid about $15 for each door, versus $80.
