Nate ------------------------------ From: "Mark Mcknight" Subject: Swapping a 78 302 Date: Sat, 15 Jul 2000 16:25:17 PDT I'm swapping a 1978 Ford 5.0L engine into a 1985 F-150 pickup. I can't figure out the wireing. Theres so many of them. The engine as of now when I turn the key it the solinoid clicks, almost like the starter is jammed, but I don't think thats the case as it is almost new. The '85 is originally a 302 but the original engine spun a bearing, that plus with the older engine it won't have to go through the same emissions test that the '85 would. I also can't figure out the vaccume hose routing. Any help as of now would be greatly appreciated. If anyone has wiring diagrams and vaccume hose diagrams please let me know. Thanks Mark '78 F-100 (for sale E-mail for more nfo) '85 F-150 ________________________________________________________________________ ------------------------------ From: "Garrett Nelson" Subject: Re: 62 Unibody Update Date: Sat, 15 Jul 2000 19:07:47 -0500 You could always use another truck, especially if it's a Ford! ---Garrett www.1966ford.com ----- Original Message ----- From: Natp244 cs.comTo: 61-79-list ford-trucks.comSent: Saturday, July 15, 2000 2:43 PM Subject: [61-79-list] 62 Unibody Update Thanks to all who helped me out with advice on the 62 Unibody I asked about. You were all helpful. I looked at it today and saw many of the things you mentioned- especially rust in the bedside. The good news is that none of it is life-treatening. Most of it I think could be replaced by homemade patches fairly easily. The truck is a 62 Custom Cab- 223 , 3 spd, all original, given to current owner by the PO, all parts present, and original paint (albeit a little faded), floord boards and bed floor both good- no major dents: just a few dings (2 that I counted). Hope you guys (and gals) will wish me luck in convincing my wife that this truck really is worth the $500 asking price! She just can't seem to understand why I need a fourth truck. Go figure :) Anyway, just wanted to thank you folks for the help. I'f I gt itI'll be sure to share the good news.

Here's a clue... Think South of the border. IIRC it isn't illegal or regulated there. Just make sure you know what you're really getting because you'll have no recourse if you get shafted... Plus, make sure you don't get spanked for bringing it into the country as they may confiscate it. The good news is that it will be dirt cheap. Don't ask me how I know this... Canada is probably a whole nother story. I believe they are even more anal than we are so count them out as a possible source. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong. As for the plan to ship it around via UPS, et al? Forget it. It wouldn't be accepted being a pressurized gas and such unless you jumped through about 500 hoops. It'd cost far more time and money than it would be worth :( Oh well. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get Yahoo!

A few years back, a place I worked at had a line on dirt cheap R12 from Mexico. It turned out to be propane instead. Just imagine what could happen if your AC system developed a leak.

I am not so sure if you are even allowed to use it legally in an auto ac system anymore. Has something to do with occupational hazards like the storage of it. Think about the reply on the test used for checking for a leak with a torch. I have to service the trucks that haul propane in tanks like those used on grills. I am not allowed to pull it inside the building for repairs if the truck is loaded. Even with empty tanks. I me keep my grill outside of my house now. Well, at least the tank stays outside. R. H. Hunt ------------------------------ From: "Harvey, Blaine" Subject: rear gas tank for F-250 Date: Sun, 16 Jul 2000 07:45:22 -0400 Maybe this will be of help. I have just got my 79 F-150 regular cab 2wd on the road. It had a side mount tank that was completely euchered. I just ordered up the rear mount tank from Napa with the proper straps (About $200 Canadian all told). Mind you I had a dummy filler door already there and got a used filler pipe and the foot long flatened filler hose from a friend. My friend suggested this fix. He has a 78 F-250 4wd with the same tank. I just ran fuel line grade hose from back to fuel pump, running it inside the frame with cable ties securing it. You will have to run extra wire to the guage and ground it on the frame. > Robert wrote: > >Subject: rear gas tank > >Date: Wed, 12 Jul 2000 22:26:06 -0500 > >From: Tammy & Robert Dolan > >Subject: rear gas tank > > > >I am trying to locate a rear tank for my 73 f250 2wd swb crewcab.
