Date: Fri, 28 Apr 2000 23:14:32 -0400 > i keep seeing 2v and 4v refrenced in regards to intake > manifolds > what is the difference between them? a 2V indicates 2 venturi, or 2 barrel i.e. 2 holes in it to let carbureted air/fuel mixture into the engine a 4V indicates 4 venturi, or 4 barrel i.e. 4 holes in it to let carbureted air/fuel mixture into the engine Generally speaking, a 4V tends to give better response, and sometimes more power to an engine (if a proper CFM ("cubic feet per minute") size carb is installed with it) than a 2V, all other things being equal. The 2V is often adequate for the application and gets better fuel economy than a 4V. > if i pull of a stock 2v will a 4v go in Yes, if you get a 4V manifold that is made for the same engine size and style that you pull the 2V off. Edelbrock makes a rather expansive selection of aftermarket 4V intake manifolds if you are looking to get one, or if you want to have a look at what they have (and/or see what the difference is), their website has some rather nice pix http://www.ford-trucks.com//lc/lc.php?action=do&link=http://www.edelbrock.com/ They make many other aftermarket performance parts as well. ------------------------------ From: "Tim Neasham" Subject: Parts Stores (Was fuel pump block off plate) Date: Fri, 28 Apr 2000 20:27:35 -0700 Thankfully I have acess to a couple of "old fashioned" parts stores. I've even known the owner to "give" parts away to people until payday. (Don't ask me how I know he will let you have a starter for a '74 F-250 on verbal credit!) His prices are about 10% above the chain stores, but I prefer to give him my business over anyone else. I view it like tiping a waiter/waitress. You are paying for the service. Dave, the owner, will find the part you are looking for, or it doesn't exist. And his store is "bullsh!t" oriented. I think he has more counter space for people to sit down and talk than he does for parts. The coffee and the conversation are always fresh.

I originally said our > LOCAL Auto Zone, because I have experience with them only> > I wasn't trying to get anyone to quit buying their parts for their Ford > truck at Auto Zone, I was just relaying a story. > > -- John Unfortunatley John, I think more than just a few people on the list have experienced bad service. not with just the above mentioned parts store. What ever happened to the "local" parts store where people were willing to help, not just look at a computer terminal with generic information. Unfortunately here in Oklahoma the local stores are dying and being run out of business by the cheap chain stores. I would prefer a "parts" person, someone that knows about cars and trucks and will look through catalogs etc. to help find a solution to my problem instead of saying "the computer says it doesn't exist". Oh well dream on I guess. Paul Rozell 65 F100 460 C6 96 F150 SC 5.0 ------------------------------ From: "Tim Neasham" Subject: Carb Question... Date: Fri, 28 Apr 2000 20:36:08 -0700 I've got a '69 F-250 Camper Special w/ a 360-2V. I'm getting ready to drop on a stock 4V Manifold that I picked up for $75. Nice thing about the manifold, it was attached to a complete 390 (but not running) & C6. What carb would ya'll recommend? I'm not into racing, burning off the tires, impressing the neighbors, etc. Heck, I don't ever tow or haul anything. I just want a "nice mannered" 4V but something with a little better power in case I need it. 95% of my driving is on the freeway (about 50 miles a day.) So, recommendations?

They all say the exact same thing. I must have about 30 of them on my list everyday for the last 3 days. ------------------------------ From: Rubberducky23 webtv.net (Danny Ling) Date: Fri, 28 Apr 2000 23:45:53 -0500 (CDT) Subject: Re: 2V-4V the "V" stands for Venturi. 1 barrel in a typical carb contains 1 venturi and a booster venturi hanging out in the middle. a 2V carb is just simply a 2 barrel carb, 4V is a 4 barrel carb. Intake manifolds are designated to match the carbs that go on em. The carb to intake mating surface is not interchangeable between 2V and 4V but there are adaptor plates to convert em but I dont realy recommend em myself. as for putting a 4V intake AND carb where a 2V used to exist sometimes you may get lucky and the heads and intakes match but its rare. A lot of engine familys used a different port size for the 2 and 4 barrel carbs. hope it kinda answers your question.

Date: Fri, 28 Apr 2000 22:35:54 -0700 Okay, I know I'm dreaming, but what the hey, I'll give it a shot. Does anyone have or know where I can beg, borrow, rent, buy, steal a set of '69 Truck Microfiche? The local dealer will let me "borrow" a set, but they won't let their legible set out the door. They said I could borrow their "bad" set that is a guessing game what it's showing. (Gee, Thanks for nothing.) So I thought I would turn to the list family for help (mild sucking up...) Thanks for any and all help. Oh, BTW, Respond off list if it's the "steal" option....

They all say the exact same thing. I must have about 30 of them on my list everyday for the last 3 days. Someone sent several of the same message on the 25th. No more have been send since. If you're still receiving them, most likely an intermittent queue problem between the FTE server and yours. On any given day, of the thousands of systems FTE sends mail two, about 4 dozen are either down or having problems.

Date: Sat, 29 Apr 2000 19:59:42 -0700 Nope, I'm always open to new knowledge and ideas, there's just too many really knowledgeable people I've talked to out there who say that they've never seen any Ford publication old or new which designate the M as Modified or Midland or Michigan. I've done a lot of research on M blocks since I own 2 of them and I've never seen it either. Pardon me if I don't take a 2000 catalog which lists maybe 6 parts for an engine that's been out of production for almost 20 years as gospel...
