It sounds like the wire that goes to the ground terminal is broken or otherwise is not connected properly. Your horn pad should have 2 wires leading out of it, and two spades that these wires go to. It doesnt really matter which goes on which, since the horn pad is a simple switch. Perhaps one of the wires was left off the spade, and it falls against it when the wheel is turned ? ------------------------------ From: "Don Taylor" Subject: power steering gear Date: Thu, 13 Apr 2000 17:16:31 -0600 I have a 1972 Ford F250 with standard steering.

Thats nice and close, and less likely to be a rust culture. I need a driver side fender for a 73 F-600. Any ideas on who has one? Any of YOU packrats have one? The one that got destroyed (line lock failed, rolled into the back of a semi) was one dad pieced together from a wrecked one, and a rusted one. Dad was awfully disappointed it happened. Took him 2 days to make that fender straight. Fenders are the same from 73-79, just like the light duty trucks.

I was trying to get a set of schematics for my 76 F250. Guess my truck isn't quite what Helm call's Medium Duty! :) If any one want's to trade for a set of F100-f250 electrical drawings (light Duty ?), Please let me know. I'd send them back, but the shipping & restocking fee is as much as I paid for them.

My Back Dr. is looking to sell his 74 1 ton. It is a 4x4, dana 60's front and rear, NP435, divorced 205, 5K miles on rebuilt 390 low miles on tires and wheel ( I think the tires were put on at the same time as the motor rebuild). It was kind of a project truck he just doesn't have time for. Needs paint, and the interior finished. Asking price is $4k.

Anyone in Texas have a clean bench seat for a 66 F100 mines had it.

The truck is handed down to me by my father with 58K original miles and he bought it new in '77. It run's great. It's been an "extra" for 23 years and needs only minor fixes here and there.(I hope) If you can believe this last week I replaced the original set of tires and fan belts. My goal is complete restoration.(guess the wife doesn't get to go shopping) My problem is the only item that works on the dash cluster is the Speedometer. The turn signals work at random and no ammeter or fuel gauge. Easy fix or dash overhaul?? I'm a novice auto person and any insight into this fix is appreciated. Thought I'd ask some trusted Ford freinds before I took it apart. Much Appreciated, Chris..... ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 13 Apr 2000 21:49:17 -0700 From: Jason Derra Subject: Autos After the discussions we had a while back about manuals and autos, I figured I would eat a little crow. This last weekend I bought a '96 F250 4WD Extended Cab Powerstroke... uh...err, automatic. The price was right and it was owned by an older couple that really took good care of it. I am still a little leery of the OD automatics reliability under towing conditions, but we'll give it a try. This is the first automatic vehicle I have owned in a long time. It is hard to get used to not having to shift (or stabbing for the clutch pedal at a stop light). It does make it easier to eat a sandwich, drink a Big Gulp, talk on my cell phone, change CD's, admire myself in the mirror, etc, etc all at the same time.

Well folks... So far about 5 guys are interested in hooking up in Vancouver, Wa on Sunday. Things are looking very good. I will post a final update on Saturday to the list with a confirmed time/place and send private e-mails to those that have contacted me personally. (I am assuming that this post will make it onto the Sunday version of the digest) Hope to see you all there with or without your trucks.

Any suggestions are appreciated<< Check to see if you have a ground strap aroung the "rag joint". This is necessary for the horn to work properly. I had to make a ground strap for one just recently. Just took some copper wire(approx 20 Ga) and made a loop in each end large enough to go over one of the bolts on either side of the rag joint.

This would also allow me to put taller gears in it (I now have 3.70) so the highway mileage wouldn't kill me so bad. I recently calculated I get 8 mpg at 60 mph on a highway trip. Anyway, I've heard the bellhousing bolt pattern is the same for the 240/300 and the 302. Is this true? If so, will the clutch and flywheel from my 240 bolt onto a 302? Does anyone have a 302, 4-speed combo with 3.25 gears and how do you find this for mileage and acceleration?
