She is and she did! How far down the chain can it go? Now ask
yourselves, what could make a man drive 200 miles to work on her carb.
He ate well. He just wanted to the table sooner. He's about as bitter as
a Milky Way bar! :)

Who asked the question?

Anyways, I've heard that yes, you can put 73+ discs on the
the 65 the same way you would for a 67-72. However, the
kingpin size is different so you'd have to find the right
size. Maybe someone here knows the size?

Subject: Spindle removal from Dana 44-9F front axle

Have been trying to remove the spindles from front axle of a '79 4x4--so
far have used hammer and 2x4 against spindle itself from side to side and
top and bottom, pounded on the brake caliper supports and elicited a slight
looseness on one side... and tried pounding on a heavy screwdriver as a
wedge--all without any tangible result. What's the next best step--heat up
the torch, or start pounding the five studs through to the knuckle which
for the moment seem to have created an interference fit (the nuts are off
in case anyone's thinking that's the resistance point!) and plan on
replacing them? Or are there other less destructive methods to get these
unusually stubborn spindles to break free from the knuckles? Any
"forceful" fixes welcome...as long as I can still reuse the spindle.

I am in desperate search for a '73-'79 shortbed. I have tried my local
(South Carolina) and some surrounding areas, but the closest one that I have
found is in Texas. I appecerate any help.

Thanks also for the info regarding my Caster&Camber, and I'm still playing
with my 351M in an attempt to get more power.

I seem to have the same problem with my '78...am fixing this up for my
son. I thought maybe it was a bad pump, but did a rebuild and still have
the same cough type reaction. so is the carb in question a Carter
manufactured for motocraft ??? If so you just saved me many hours of
frustration and dollars !!

Hey Woody!
I use a sand hammer I got from snap-on. there just rusted on. all you
can do is keep pounding on them...they will loosen up. they have a
shoulder that is about 3/4" deep. Once you finally get them off, buff
them on a wire wheel and before you reinstall them coat the shoulder
with some never seize or grease. it just takes alot of effort. becareful
not to damage the threads or the seal surface or the bearing surface.

Woody, one other thing is to put the nuts back on the bolts, flush
with the head of the bolt. then you can knock out the studs,spray some
liquid wrench all around the spindle and into the holes. But the hammer
with a 2x4 won't cut it. the force is absorbed by the wood and doesn't
really affectively give any movement to the spindle.

I still have no takers for the freebie '70 F-250 aux fuel tank. That
being said, for the benefit of keeping this "on topic"..........

Sounds like my place until about three years ago. I just lived with the
voltage droops (lights dimming when a motor started). Then, one day,
without me even asking (like they would have done anything had I asked),
the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power decided to add a
transformer to my block's circuit. Where? To MY POLE! I now have 119
volts on each leg, ALL THE TIME.

I noted that you are dimming your neighbor's lights. This is
significant, in that you are pulling down the immediately adjacent
portion of your "grid". The loss is most likely not in your property's
"drop" wires, since you have a 200 amp service.

You, most likely, have adequately sized wire from your pole to the
house. Certainly have more than the "right stuff" from the breaker box
to your garage sub-box. My guess is that the loss is from the
transformer to your pole. That's where they seem to somewhat undersize,
with the theory being that the current could come to your pole from two
transformers in different directions, and still be adequate.

I'm not sure that you want to know what they might charge to put a
transformer on your pole at your request, but that's what you really
want to eliminate the problem. If you can demonstrate the problem as
being a serious undercapacity (NOT overloading) of their transformers,
they might get interested enough to fix it for you for nothing. Be sure
to offer your pole as the best place (however unsightly) to place their
augmentation.

The capacitor bank will be at some distribution sub-station, and will be
on the high-voltage side of the equation. The power companies use them
for regulation purposes. They typically time-switch them in and out to
compensate for the varying power demands of a community during a 24-hour
cycle.

I've got a 3 spd. trans. and since I can't use an auto and can't find a
reasonably priced 4 spd. around here I was wondering can I just have the
three spd. gearing changed ? Is this possible to have done? Would it be
worth the money to do this? Any and all help will be appreciated.
