I live at 6,000 feet here in Cheyenne and its not necessary. Rule of thumb is usually an additional degree of advance per 1000 feet, up to but not over 6 extra degrees. Have you tried putting a timing light on it while cranking it over to see how close it is? You might also want to slap it on all the plug wires to make sure they are firing. If they are, and number one is close to where it should be, my best guess is still a flooding carb. I would also double check the firing order again (don't ask me how many times I've gotten the middle two plugs on a I6 switched, its embarassing). Not sure what else to suggest at this point.

It is a dash instrument cluster of the 61-65 style, but it includes a factory tach and vacuum guage on either side of the speedometer, where all trucks I have seen just have 2 blank circles. I have never seen anything like this, and was just wondering if anyone knows what it was made for, or if it is some sort of conversion. I thought it might be for the rare and elusive 65 Ranger, but I assumed the 65 ranger had the same dash as the 65 Custom cab, with the sweeping speedo. In case my description isn't adequate, you can cut and paste this link to see a pic of it. Just asking out of curiosity, but I sure thought it would look nice in my 64! Too bad, though- it's way out of my reach. Anyway, just thought I'd ask.

I already had 2 15's on one of my trucks and 2 more 16.5's came on a parts truck I bought for the drivetrain. It wasn't until just recently that I realized they were 16.5's. They have the same bolt pattern as the 15's. My question is were these old style 16.5's an option? or were they for an earlier model truck? Now that I have 2 16.5" rims to get rid of, and need to find 2 more 15's, I thought it might be helpful knowing what I was dealing with. ANy ideas??

Now which of those is missing? If the choke is open at all we can assume it is getting air, but placing a hand over the carb while the engine is cranked will give a good indication of that. Be careful that it doesn't backfire and burn you. A couple of pumps of the accelerator pedal, while looking down the throat of the carb, will tell you if you are getting fuel. There should be a good squirt of fuel in the carb. A philips head screw driver inserted into the boot of a spark plug wire while the shaft is held close to some part of the engine block will produce a healthy spark when the engine is cranked. Hold the handle, not the shaft. A compression test will tell you a lot about the state of the motor. Good compression indicates it is OK. A rich mixture will cause wet plugs, do you smell fuel when you crank it? It may be flooding. Check the float setting on that rebuilt carb. A float that is too high will cause flooding. As someone else mentioned that wire from the points to the coil should be insulated non-resistor wire. How about your fuel pump or fuel filter. Step 2 should give you some idea about those, but fuel filters can let enough fuel thru to idle and even run at low speed, but stop the flow at higher speeds. This could be your original problem. The timing chain will not go bad gradually. If it slips timing, you will have problems all at once.

Who cares what its for, its a pretty sweet dash :) Actually I wonder if that was for a delivery truck or something designed for heavier use ?

Date: Thu, 1 Jun 2000 09:25:14 -0500 We bought a 71 F250 Camper Special about 3 years ago. The engine was shot in it, a 360, but the body was in great shape. Needed painted, but no body work was needed. We got the engine rebuilt about a year and a half ago and its been running like a champ ever since....at least until last night. Last night on the way home from work, the lights went NUTS. It looked like I was flashing Morris code or something. The lights inside and out kept going on and off. It hasn't ever done that before. The wiring on this old truck was a nightmare when we got it. Still is in fact.....The old boy that had it before us...well lets just say this old truck hadn't been off the farm in a LONG time. It looked like when we got it that when ever something broke on it, he took what ever was handy and jury rigged it up good enough to get by. We like to have never got the tail lights working on it because the wires going back to the tail lights....oh.....you would have just have to have saw it. it doesn't have wires just hanging every where now, but it's far from being back to factory. She's been coming together pretty good and we've been happy with it until last night. Any ideas about what might have happened.

There is a circuit breaker in that switch that has been known to go bad and cause this symptom. After you replace the switch you might check out the "Brighter brights" article on the FTE web page. It has the advantage of cutting the current through the factory switch which should extend its life. You should consider replacing the wiring with a new unmolested harness. It may be expensive but it shouldnt be too hard to do and the elimination of headaches in the future would be worth it.

Date: Thu, 1 Jun 2000 11:50:55 -0500 Thank you....now that you mention the lights going dim, they have been. As long as you're giving it a little gas, the lights would stay bright, but as soon as you let off the gas the lights would go back dim. Even the blower motor on the heater wouldn't blow as hard if you weren't giving it a little gas. If you idle it up a little to keep it running a little faster, it would make a horrible sound when you put it in gear...almost like it was trying to jerk the U joints out, so we had to idle it back down and live with the lights. The alternator went out on it a while back, and the replacement alternator only had one pulley. The old one was designed for a double pulley with matching belts. I have wondered if that might not be some of its problem with the lights going dim.
