Proportioning valve stuff Date: Mon, 14 Feb 2000 14:51:59 -0500 Same valve, pretty sure and it will work either way :-) The catalog lists the same valve for both applications. All you need to know is that one side will always require more or less than the other to set it up. Generally you will want more on the right front if you turn left and a little less on the right rear and, of course less yet on the inside tires since they will be trying to go to the moon. In conjunction with this they also control the springs on all 4 wheels separately to ensure proper balance in a hard turn and back in the old days, on small tracks, they used to put different size tires on the inside front to aid in this as well. It all works together :-) -- Michigan, Pot Hole Jumping, 78 Bronco Loving, Gary -- >that he can adjust during the race which controls the breaking from one >side of >the car to the other depending on the condition of the track >keeping him >from spinning out.

Proportioning valve stuff Date: Mon, 14 Feb 2000 14:35:11 -0600 For John again ... Well, there is one thing you have both overlooked by my estimation. The master cylinder. On a disc/drum set up, the disc reservoir is larger allowing for more fluid displacement. I can't support this, but it seems that the mc would have much more effect than the proportioning valve. If you want more braking, get a bigger master cylinder? Isn't this what Steve alluded to? The master cylinder has to have a residual or check valve in it or the lines wouldn't stay full of fluid. The end of an object traveling in front will need more braking than the end following. Physics of momentum. That also has something to do with why the big brake shoe goes to the back. ---------- >In any case it's not "flow" but "pressure" we are dealing with. Uhoh, Gary. (evil grin) Flow and pressure are related. The more fluid flows through a pipe, the higher the pressure. If you decrease the size of the pipe and flow the same volume of fluid, pressure goes up. Following your line of reasoning, change all of your brake lines from 3/8 to 1/4 and you will dramatically increase the brake line pressure. But you won't be able to displace enough fluid to move the slaves and you'll run over whatever is in the way. Doggone that pedal would be hard, though. (Note: we are talking non-compressable fluids here, not gaseous fluids.) P.S.

Self adjusting they ususally are engaged when the brakes are applied while the vehicle travels in reverse. Disk brakes don't have anything like this so as the pads wear the pistons move farther out and the volume inside increases. The larger resivoir allows for this to give the user more time before having to service the fluid level. This happened on my wifes windstar couple of weeks ago. The ABS light came on and so I took it in to be checked out. I thought sensor or something.

Doss Halsey" Subject: Choke Thermostats 101 Gary, >Well, I spent the afternoon Sunday monkeying with the stupid choke on the >stupid Holley on the stupid...... I have the same setup and I'm curious. >You can also put a volt meter on the terminal with power >on and watch the voltage change as the element heats up..... interesting :-) It's a heater element, yes? A light bulb filament will be a dead short when it is cold. As soon as it heats up, it has some resistance (loss) which is proportional to the amount of energy it is giving off as heat and light. I'm not sure how a piezo heater element behaves electrically, but like I said, I'm curious. My first crack at installing the carb, I wired the choke power lead to one of the two smaller terminals sticking out of the starter solenoid. It has something less than 12 volts available, but it is switched (by the ignition switch) and conveniently located. It has about 10 volts static and 11.5 with the engine running. I have since changed the choke wiring point to a switched (full voltage) point I found on the fuse panel. I have noticed also that the choke does not stay on as long with the full voltage. So, I inadvertantly stumbled into the same strategy as you which is to turn the voltage down to make the choke stay on longer. I just found a convenient, lower voltage point by accident. > I can also adjust the richness of it by rotating >the cap quite a bit and the pulloff (integral) still pulls it off far enough >to run well. It turns out that these units have a heating element in them >rather than using the spring as I originally thought. My question is (I haven't taken the choke apart yet) what is inside the mechanism? I assume it is a bimetalic spring and a heater. Doesn't loosening the screws and turning it (to the left I think) make it stay on longer? Are you adjusting the richness or just the time it takes to pull off? It stands to reason that "all the way hot" (whatever temp on that little heater element that is) has to be all the way off. And "all the way cold" should be "choke plate all the way down" (full choke). Anything else in between should be on the way from one state to the other, yes? It seems like we should be able to adjust the time that the choke stays on by rotating it, but maybe not. >The spring is not >supposed to be part of the electrical circuit in the system but is affected >by the heat generated by the metal plate it is attached to which is a "heat >sink" to the heating element in the cap.

Otherwise it will be > offering a decrease in your braking abilities wouldn't it ? You can only have one prop valve in operation. If you use an adjustable, the stock one must be eliminated or disabled. I have no experience with these old systems but on fox mustangs you have to use an adjustable when you start changing caliper bore sizes. The thing that determines if your stock prop valve will work is the relation between the M/C bore size and caliper bore. I changed an '86 to the 11" '87 fronts on my Capri and the first time I had to hit the brakes halfway hard the ass end started coming around. That was due to the extra pedal pressure needed to work those bigger front calipers. By the time they started to grab the rears were locked up. If you go with a M/C too big for your calipers you will have the opposite problem of not getting enough rear braking. You would then need to disable the stock type prop to get enough pressure to the rears which could then be regulated with the Wildwood valve. Or find the proper size M/C.

Today I noticed that the brake pedal remained about half way down after parking it. The brake system (except the Master cylinder and power booster) is all new. I suspect both of these are original. Is there any test that I can do to determine is either of these units need replacing. What exactly controls brake pedal return?

Got tired of struggling with that 800 lb TC, so I made up this cradle when I removed it a couple months ago. Here it is in action during the install. Took all of 4 minutes to put it in. Biggest drawback is jack handles keep slamming into rear diff tubes :-). I'll prob have plans for it sometime soon. Very easy to make out of 3 flat plates, 3 short pieces/1 1ong piece of angle iron and a short and long piece of thickwall pipe. http://www.ford-trucks.com//lc/lc.php?action=do&link=http://www.thecore.com/~luxjo/BRONC_DETAILS/TCtool1.jpg Also, I've been puttsing (SP??) around with different motors for the last 2 months trying to decide which one to use for my monster 78 bronc. I finally have one I put in yesterday. It is a 400 that was recently completely rebuilt. The last owner got water in it (from deep puddles offroad) and fried all the rod bearings. I have since replaced the crank (had really deep scores from bearings), rod and main bearings. Pins, pistons and bores seemed fine and the motor never lost power or burned any oil, it just knocked like a mother. I am a bit concerned about the main clearance, as it plasticgauged over .002 and spec is .0026 max. Rods all came in at .0013-.0017. Just for kicks, I tried a cold leakdown of the #1 cyl after I buttoned up the bottom. It was only 70/90 (UGH!!) and rushing air out the exh port. I pulled the rockers off on that cyl figuring maybe the cam timing was off and it was cracking the exh valve. Well, it was no better. I pulled the head and even that valve and it all seems perfect. Looks like it was all just redone. Even had a light bit of head porting. I have no idea whats up with it, but since I could find no problem, I slapped the head back on, pulled the other head and checked it and put the upper end together. I know it has a healthy cam in it, but the only thing I know is lift (I measured it) is .518 intake. Valve springs were replaced and have a stripe of yellow on the intake and green on the exh. Anyone know what brand that might be. So, I hope to have it running by the end of the week. Should be a nice power increase over the stock 351M if nothing is majorly screwed up.

FORD is scraping all of the 1973-1979 Front Fenders. My friends works at the Teterboro New Jersey parts Depot (Entire Tri-State Area) and personally scraped the fenders. About 5 years ago, Ford Employees were able to by Obsolete & Damaged parts at the Depot. But that all stopped when the people started to damage the parts purposely. He gave me the part number, but I tossed it. I can get the parts way below what it costs the average guy off the street. My brother works there too, so I got an inside look into what happens there.

I'll check and see what mine's up to next time I play with it. What I've done on my '79 w a holley 600 was a little different. I took the factory wire that went to the stock choke cap, changed teh end, and hooked it up to the holley cap (with the other wire on the holley cap going to ground on the carb body). Tracing teh schematics, this wire comes from teh alternator, the common between the 3 windings. I measured it once a while ago and it sends about 3-5 v AC to the choke cap. As it's just a resistave heater in there, it doesnt care weather it's DC or AC. Plus, the voltage went up as RPM's increased. This setup seems towork well for me down here in FL (but then, Im nowhere near as cold as michigan ;-)). One other tidbit I like is that the choke doesnt heat up and come off with the key on and engine off. One good thing about these old beasts - theirs more than one way to make em work for ya!

Hope I didn't mess anyone up with that little booboo......read the meter wrong, sorry :-( Temp makes a huge difference in the readings too which explains why I got 10 the first time and 15 later. You can also put a volt meter on the terminal with power on and watch the voltage chage as the element heats up..... interesting :-) Here's what I found.....the Holley unit has 15 ohms depending on how you hold your little finger.....or 10 or 12 or.....I finally settled on 15 for that one and the replacement Motorcraft was 20-21 ohms which was a step in the right direction I figured so for $28 I picked one up along with a ballast resistor for another $3.98. They had three of these with different part numbers but they looked identical so I got out my trusty Multimeter and checked and sure enough they were different resistances: 0.7, 1.6 and 2.0 ohms. I took the .7 one to start with and it made about a 2v change in the available power to the choke cap, measured at the terminal with power on. The battery read about 12.7v, the Holley cap read about 11.2v between the terminal and the neg batt post, and the Motorcraft replacement (not motorcraft brand) read about 9.7v. The holley choke was going off in about 1.5-2 minutes which was way too fast and all the electronic resistors I had were way too high a value and when used in parallel batches to reduce the ohms they got way too hot so the ballast resistor is the way to go for this project, absolutely no doubt there :-) The replacement unit by itself went off in about 4 minutes and with the ballast resistor the time was increases substantially but I didn't really measure it.....guessing about 7 minutes for full off position or so. What all this means is that the choke will now come off in the coldest weather in about 7 minutes which is just about perfect to keep the bronco happy at stop lights etc. when cold where before I had to knock it out of gear, coast up to the car in front of me with one foot on the brake and one on the gas to keep it from stalling....BUMMERBUMMERBUMMER!!!! This should translate to about half of that in the summer with no adjustments which should work well I think. I can also adjust the richness of it by rotating the cap quite a bit and the pulloff (integral) still pulls it off far enough to run well. It turns out that these units have a heating element in them rather than using the spring as I originally thought. The spring is not supposed to be part of the electrical circuit in the system but is affected by the heat generated by the metal plate it is attached to which is a "heat sink" to the heating element in the cap. On the Holley unit there was a ground effect via the sping which shorted the element, possibly by design but what ever the case it acted way too fast. This was an interesting experiment and I learned a lot and wanted to share my findings with the group(s) in case anyone else was struggling with this problem. I did have to modify the Holley lever to accomodate the motorcraft replacement because the replacement fits into a slot and the holley is a loop that fits over the arm, other than that they are interchangeable. The holley unit also has two terminals, one for ground and the replacement has the traditional metal strip on the cap which is grounded to the retainer ring. Tonight will be the acid test as my first stop light is about 2 minutes from the parking lot and then there are two more about 1 minute apart which was the perfectly wrong scenerio for the old choke setup, I'll keep y'all posted :-) -- Michigan, Pot Hole Jumping, 78 Bronco Loving, Gary -- >> ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 14 Feb 2000 23:10:53 -0500 From: Tony Marino Subject: 73-77 Grill Shell Ordered!

Subject: Re: NP 205 TC cradle/400 motor install update Date: Tue, 15 Feb 2000 07:07:32 -0500 Ox, on the mains you can sand the caps up to about 0.001" or so to get a little better fit but don't take off any more than that or the round shape and matchup of the bearing bore will suffer. I have no idea how far you can take this but I do know that 0.001" will not hurt anything and may be what you need to fix the clearance. I've done this on several old, worn engines and restored their oil pressure and performance with an old crank and got more than 50k miles out of them after that so I know it works just fine. Use a flat surface with fine sand paper on it and rub the cap on the paper, carefully keeping it flat and not allowing it to rock as you stroke it and it will be perfect. Just take your time and mic the surfaces as you go so you don't take off too much. Actually 0.002" is pretty good I should think? I think I went for 0.0015" on my 460 and it allowed almost 0.003 as I recall. -- Michigan, Pot Hole Jumping, 78 Bronco Loving, Gary -- >any oil, it just knocked like a mother.

All the big auto companies do this. It would be physically impossible for them to build every nut & bolt on a car. We've seen Keller Brass make Nameplates, Goodyear make Dashpads, Jim Robbins Inc make Seat Belts, etc., etc. Unlike the foreign made aftermarket parts, those made by there contractors are made to the factory specs that Ford set up at the original time of production. These parts are made, placed in a Ford box and shipped to Fords main warehouse's around the U.S.... This is how Ford orders them from the aftermarket sources. As for the $100 Grille Shells, I guess you get what you pay for. I can buy them all day long here in Indianapolis also. I have seen these before, and there is no comparison in quality to the Ford part. A person rebuilding a work truck would usually use this. One who is Restoring a truck to look new or Show will want an OEM. Thanks for your input!

Date: Tue, 15 Feb 2000 09:10:15 -0600 Guys, I know this has probably been discussed before but I have a qeustion. My qeustion concerns rear end gearing and what is acceptable for a 460 motor. First what is the eqaution for figuring the RPM's an engine will see with different tire and gear combinations. Secondly what is the acceptable range for a 460 to see in RPM's . What is the maximum that a person would want the motor to turn etc. Thanks, Paul ------------------------------ From: prozell oaielectronics.com (OAI Electronics: Paul Rozell)Subject: Mail Problems Date: Tue, 15 Feb 2000 09:13:25 -0600 I have sent several posts in the last couple of days and I get a confirmation back but I dont ever see the post again.

Subject: Re: brake pedal return Date: Tue, 15 Feb 2000 10:41:24 -0500 Pull the booster off and look at the mechanism behind it and I think you will see what has to be done. On the 78's there is a bell crank back there with pivots that rust up and seize. The pedal also has a plastic bushing which can wear out or dry out and cause a little trouble but it's usually the stuff behind the booster. When you get it apart and cleaned up lube it with anti-seize or a good water proof grease. -- Michigan, Pot Hole Jumping, 78 Bronco Loving, Gary -- >weather permits.

Proportioning valve stuff Date: Tue, 15 Feb 2000 11:17:44 -0500 I don't know how you deduce that from my statements but tube size is irrelevant as long as it it properly rated for the pressure. Since, for all practical purposes, brake systems are "dead headed" and the flow is very small we can eliminate such arcane scientific theories from this discussion. Brake systems rely strictly on pressure to operate and all components are designed to regulate this, not flow. I guess I don't really have any more to add to this until I've had time to do a little more investigating. -- Michigan, Pot Hole Jumping, 78 Bronco Loving, Gary -- >Uhoh, Gary.
