You'll need a new pitman arm, drag link, and tie rod. It all bolts right up, and the tie-rod tapers are the same size, so no problemo there....The pitman arm on the 76 has the "ball" on it, and the newer ones have the "ball" in the end of the tie rod. If you have a lift kit, now would be a good time to use a drop-down pitman arm.....

Do NOT use any power tools, just elbow grease. Both of my vehicles were faded and oxidized when I bought them. The Futura shined up like new after two days of hand polishing. I polished the front face of the Club Wagon before deciding that I didn't really care how it looked. Haha :) Start with the mildest grit substance and work backwards if that doesn't work. Rubbing compound will strip away the oxidation, but you can go through the paint if you are not careful. I used a small amount of rubbing compound on a soft rag, then I followed with polish and then wax. It worked very well but really tires you out more than you would expect. I strongly suggest you try it yourself before you take it to a shop. I once asked around for advice on getting window tint in my van (lots of windows). A long time pro said that I should do it myself because I actually cared about my truck, and no one else would give it the attention and respect that I would. -don -- Don in Philadelphia #8142, Editor/Internet Director, Keystone Chapter FCA 66 Falcon Deluxe Club Wagon (daily driver) 61 Falcon Futura | Vespa and Lambretta scooters ------------------------------ From: "wish" Date: Tue, 11 Jul 2000 14:09:48 GMT Subject: Re: 429 >How much is a good running 429 worth? > Nothing, just leave it by the curb on trash day and it will disappear ... ;) Just kiddin ya man, I've already got a "spare" FE :) Just my $.02 wish 96 Mustang GT 5spd 4.6L 73ish 1/2ton 4x4 6.4L http://www.ford-trucks.com//lc/lc.php?action=do&link=http://www.public.iastate.edu/~wish Ford Truck Enthusiasts http://www.ford-trucks.com ------------------------------ From: "wish" Date: Tue, 11 Jul 2000 14:11:38 GMT Subject: Re: Power Sterring Conversion >> It should route around the water pump as well as the crank and p/s pump >... >Really?

I love the sound of the 2 chambered flowmasters on a friends GTO, but I'm so sick of hearing them on Mustangs (late model) that I'd almost have to advise against them. I think they've also changed their design since the set on the goat. Around here, if you're from a small town and have a truck not running glass packs then you are looked on as weird and a nerd ... I'm running SuperTurbo's on my truck and like the sound pretty well, i get the weird looks, but the slight lope of the cam usually shuts them up ... I think if I go through the exhaust again I'm going to pick up stock mufflers from a Mustang GT ... they're stainless (guaranteed for 60K from the factory), they can be had cheap (<$100 a pair), and they're readily available with low miles on them ... oh and 2.25" which may be a bit smaller than you're looking for, but I drive mine regularly so want to keep it somewhat subdued. Don't expect it to sound like a stang with those mufflers on it, I pulled the cats off of my car and WHOA it sounds like a big block now, maybe a touch louder than my super turbo's even. >also what type or rims would you suggest? round ;) That's a big personal choice thing though, some of us weird rim geeks like different things ... just be sure and get something you like, and that fits correctly (ie correct backspacing) or you'll become friends with the wheel bearing nut pretty quickly (right Tony ?)

I'm building up my 460, and want to know if I should (or can afford to) spend the money on them. The ports have been completely reworked and raised. A few of the ports on the exhaust side have been widened enough that they have exposed a little of the head bolt passage. They come with 2.25 intake and 1.76 exhaust valves, bronze guides, there is one guide that is still cast iron ,and K-Motion K-800 dual valve springs. All machine work has been done, valves ground with 3 angle, and checked free of cracks. Thanks, Bob ------------------------------ From: "Azie L. Magnusson" Subject: Air vs Hyd brakes Date: Tue, 11 Jul 2000 10:50:16 -0500 This making brake lines thing seems kinda out of the ordinary to me. 1st off doesn't the air system on over-the-road tractor trailers operate on 150psi or thereabouts??? Also if you loose air pressure, doesn't the trailer brakes come on automatically?? I've seen several instances where the air storage tank on the trailer came loose(blew a connection) and the trailer wheels slid from that point until stopped.. On the hydraulic systems the pressures are in the neighborhood of 2500/3000psi as indicated by someone previously.. I don't have a clue as to the liabilities of companies or individuals, but it seems reasonable that someone has to stand liable for work on such an item as the brakes.

I contacted a local company here in W-S, N.C. that has DOT approved hoses and connectors for hydraulic systems. They build the lines to match the ones you have. This is especially nice if you have changed something like ride height or other demensions of the vehicle and need a different length than the stock ones. << 1st off doesn't the air system on over-the-road tractor trailers operate on 150psi or thereabouts???>> Yes, but closer to 100 - 120 most of the time. << Also if you loose air pressure, doesn't the trailer brakes come on automatically?? I've seen several instances where the air storage tank on the trailer came loose(blew a connection) and the trailer wheels slid from that point until stopped..>> Yes, the air brake systems on the tractor and trailers on the road today need air pressure to release the brakes to move. They have an air brake chamber at each wheel position, which is supplied air via an air valve mounted on or near the air reserve tank mounted under the trailer which is supplied air from the truck. If air pressure is lost to the brake chambers, the brakes are applied. There are VERY strong springs inside of the brake chambers, which are overpowered by the air pressure to release the brakes. << I don't have a clue as to the liabilities of companies or individuals, but it seems reasonable that someone has to stand liable for work on such an item as the brakes. Point is - I'll purchase mine that says DOT approved...>> I agree. I also insist that the prices quoted as being $26 or higher is unnecessary when there are better prices for the same or better quality DOT approved hoses and or lines. You just need to do some searching. I found a price of less than $10 at one dealer and $30 at another. Both parts have the same DOT approved rating. R. H.

A lot of the freon replacements that are legal are mixtures of multiple refrigerants and must be charged as a liquid and cannot be topped off. You must evacuate and recharge with new. As to the flammable refrigerants these are a mixture of dry propane and iso-butane. Flammable refrigerants were used in autos before Dupont developed R-12 in the 30's or so. Dupont then carried out a campain to make the use of them illegal in mobile A/C systems, but are still used in stationary systems. The air force carried out some studies in the use of flammable refrigerants to replace the R-12 used in their vehicles, and from their studies determined that the chance of major injury was nil. You were much more likely to suffer injury from the accident that caused damage to the system in the cab of the vehicle than from the potental fire danger. Most damge tended to cause leaks outside ot the passenger compartment. Since Dupont also developed R-134a they spent more money making sure that the use of flammable refrigerants stayed illegal even though the use of flammable refrigerants have almost no effect on ozone depletion and are considered minor greenhouse gases. Why does the EPA concern themselve with it at all, since it has no real enviormental effects? Considering the 300+ lbs of gasoline I carry in my truck the problem of 3lbs of flammable gas in an A/C system seems minor. How many of you that have electric fuel pumps have an inertia switch to turn the pump off in case of accident? Firefighters really don't like opening the hood and getting sprayed with gasoline.

Not only are new ones safer, they may improve your pedal if the old ones are bulging with each pump. Anyone driving around with original ones on these 79 and older trucks may want to check them out next time you have the front tire off. If there are several auto parts stores in your areas, it pays to check the brand name and the prices. I ordered the premium set from Advance Auto, had to insist and special order them, for about $25 each. They were Bendix brand. The normal cheap ones that Advance had in stock were no names for like $14 each. The local Napa was about the same price as Bendix but I did not recognize the brand. Both stores have websites, you may want to browse some there as well as other car parts websites. One note, I had to reuse the copper washer seal, so don't lose it. I was expecting new ones with the new hoses, but did not get it. Mine installed fine and no leaks. And expect the steel nut at the flared line end to round on you. I had to use vice grips and it wasn't pretty. bkp ------------------------------ From: "Mike" Subject: Freon Date: Sun, 07 Nov 99 01:00:30 PST I picked up a brochure describing a new hydrocarbon based refrigerant at a local auto parts store the other day. This stuff is called 'Duracool 12a'. (Also avail.-Duracool 22a and 502a). This is apparently a drop in replacement for R12 and 134, supposed to result in lower system pressure and requires 35-40% of the charge by weight of the other two. They have an email address: duracool compusmart.ab.ca if anybody wants more info. Now, I'm not pushing thisstuff, as I haven't tried it, in fact, this is the first I've heard of it. I hadn't even heard about that other stuff blowing up. ------------------------------ From: Natp244 cs.comDate: Wed, 12 Jul 2000 00:58:30 EDT Subject: 79 F-350 Single Wheel I saw something today while at the mall (Salvage Yard, that is) that caught my eye and at the risk of cluttering up this list just to satisfy my curiosity- I still must ask. It was a Cab/chassis- 1979 Model, F-350, but it had a single wheel rear axle instead of duals. I know the General made some trucks like this, and thought Ford might have in earlier years, but I have either never seen one or never paid attention (which is quite possible). So- is this an unusual truck? Thanks!
