Selection seems to stop before 79 and picks up again with year 80. Anyone have a good source for this item? I am assuming that Ford, with its rather pathetic customer support for anything more than four years old, can't help. I tried searching the archives and kept getting error messages, so I couldn't track down any earlier traffic on this issue. thanks Blaine ------------------------------ From: "Dave Resch" Date: Tue, 7 Mar 2000 12:10:58 -0700 Subject: Re: C6 Bellhousing Clarification Paul wrote: >Talked with the person last night and now > he is saying that the tranny is a >FMX????

Then John added: >I don't think the FMX was ever attached >to a 400 as in the 351m/400 family. Yo Paul & Wish & John: If the tranny is actually an FMX (a big "if"), then it will not bolt to a 460. The FMX was offered w/ the 400 in the 1973 model year in some Torinos and Montegos (and possibly in Rancheros), and that 400 is the somewhat rare small-block bolt pattern 400 (block casting #D3AE-B). That 400 block used the same bell housing bolt pattern as the 351C and small-block Fords (289/302/351W). The 385 series engines (429/460) were never equipped with the FMX from the factory. As I understand it, a sure way to ID the FMX is by its cast iron case. The C6 has an aluminum case. If you can see the engine it came from, look at the block casting number on the right side below the last two cylinders, just above the starter. If the block casting number is D3AE, the tranny is an FMX. I also agree w/ John that this deal is starting to get fishy. Maybe this guy really just doesn't know what the part is, but that means caveat emptor, you have to verify the parts yourself. Good luck.

FE = Ford - Edsel which just happens to be cars that the FE was introduced to the consumer in as standard engines. They came in the following displacements through the years -332 upon introduction in '58, then these followed (not necessarily in order) - 352 - 390 - 406 - 427 - 410 - 428 - 360(F series trucks only).. Maybe others, but I don't think so. The FT is large truck version of FE. Crankshaft snout is larger and all truck cranksfafts were billett steel(I think).

Thanks for all the responses, information from experts in the area gives a schmoe like myself just enough confidence to tear something like this apart. That said, I'm sitting here right now with the top of my carbeurator on my lap. I just cleaned it up real good and want to make sure it is perfectly dry. Turns out the float was fine as it is in the opposite end of the bowl from the fuel filter. What happened is that where the fuel enters the carbeurator through the filter is a very shallow area. The fuel doesn't enter directly into the bowl, it enters a smaller reservoir that is opened and closed by a needle valve which is controlled by the float. (All this I've just learned by the way). What happened is that when I used the easy out to remove the filter stub, I punched a hole in this smaller reservoir, then another hole in the bowl. Presto two holes where there should be none. Anyway, I've used the pieces that fell out of the reservoir and a little more of my new found friend (JB weld) and have patched both holes. Now, off to put the top back on and hope for the best. If this fails, I guess it's off to the local junk yard in search of another carb. Probably would've been the easy way in the first place, but look what I learned by doing things the hard way. Fingers crossed heading back out to the driveway.

Truck axles left and right are equal length. I do not believe that this applies to cars, though since I seem to remember that there was a left and right side when working on them and the axles were different lengths. Now consider this. If the axles are equal length doesn't that mean that the ringgear is offset. The ringgear is not centered on the carrier, so it has to be.. If the axles are not equal length, then the pinion could be in the exact center. Does this make sense. I have a car rear out at the shop and if I can get time this weekend, I'll verify my thoughts..

There are at least 3 different bolt patterns on the front, and each pattern is speciffically for a series of engines..

As for yard hunting I was out on saturday and at one yard alone I came across a 62,two 64's,two 65's and 66, enough body parts to put one back together! but the interiors were stripped clean as a chicken bone! :o) The next yard I went to a found a chrome grille for a 60, and a painted grille for a 63, I think it was a 60? had ford spelled out in the middle of the grille, can't remember for shore but I think thier was a couple of good fender. This yard also had 2 65's that they had a bunch of junk piled up in them, but there was plenty of parts left on them. The last yard I went too had a brunt out 64 fleetside, and I mean burned out!!! On the way out I asked them if that was all they had for 60's fords and they said well go out the gate up the road a half mile we have another small lot that we keep vechiles that we might sell whole, but its locked and the owner of the yard wasn't there but they said that they thought there was a 66 and a 60 up there. I got up there and right off I spotted the 66 and thought that's to nice to be sitting in a junk yard! It was sweet, nice red paint job chrome trim around the wheel wells, and down the door edges, all emblems still there. Then I spotted what they thought was the 60, Nope!! 57 F100 shortbed! complete! but it needs a little loving care, a couple dents in the bed and some surface rust. Well to finish this I have to call tomorrow to talk with the owner on a price? Anybody want to buy a boy child! heck I'll throw in his sister too! :o) Sorry about the story! but had to tell someone.

I cut the wires under the turn signal collar and then splice stretched them to reattach. I have one problem and that is reattaching the blue and green wire to the turn signal cam. I had ordered a replacement cam from Autokrafters but it has some fundamental differences. When I removed the two wires originally I snapped them directly off the cam. The new cam has no wire mount points or the the small copper bowtie wire. How can I reattach the cam wires to the old one to at least get it back on the road legally?

Went home last night and found the April 2000 edition of SUPER FORD in my mailbox. Across the top of the cover is: "5.0 Shootout: X-PIPES vs. H-PIPES DYNO TEST!" Anyone interested in this might want to snag a copy of the magazine. BTW, if anybody is interested, it seems that the tried and true H-pipe seemed to outdo the new-tech X-pipe. ------------------------------ From: "William S.

My '81 beats firebirds all the time. It's got the old six banger in it. Every night when I go to sleep and start dreaming, my '81 beats everything on the road, including the tried and true Mustang! GO FORD!!! Eventually my '64 F-100 with the 292 V8 will be operational. I hooked up a battery the other day, and the headlights are not operational. There are no taillights. What do they look like? Can I get them from the dealer? I replaced the plugs, wires, points, coil, dist. cap, and rotor, and still I'm not getting fire. Any suggestions? May just have to do a complete tear down and rebuild. It's turning, but no fire to start it. Also, does anyone know of a cheap source for a radiator around OKC? Cheapest I found is a hundred bucks for a rebuilt one.

Cheapest I found is a > hundred bucks for a rebuilt one. Jimmy, that is cheap. I paid almost $400 for a new radiator two years ago. To get one rebuilt around here costs between $100 and $125 depending on who you take it to. -- John jlagrone ford-trucks.com <]:-) <]:-)<]:-)<]:-)<]:-)<]:-) 1979 F150 Custom, Long Wide Bed, Regular Cab, 351M, C6 (Henry) http://www.ford-trucks.com/jlagrone/henry.home.htm Dearborn iron rules!!!! ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 08 Mar 2000 10:10:00 -0800 From: Clare Waterman-Storer Subject: Re: Ford Truck Kills great! tfreeman murphyfarms.com wrote: > Hahahahah HAHAHAHA Hahahaha!
