How much grease do you pack >into a hub when you're repacking it? > o If your sure the bearings and races were serviceable then I'd say no. o Grease- Hub.....Locking?? If so, then none. The locking hub really needs no grease, just a light coat of lube to keep it from rusting, corroding and allow friction free movement of the locking device during operation. If your are talking about the wheel hub bearings.. Then my opinion is to fully pack the wheel bearings them self, leaving a hefty amount on the back side of the bearing as you install..no need to "fill" the void in the hub between the bearings. As I install the outer bearing, but before the first lock ring, I pack the small gap between the bearing and hub, then install all locking rings and nut. Adjust the lock nut and locking ring position till 0.001 - 0.010" axial free play is achieved,,,,,, working towards the tight end of the scale as much as possible. Erik Marquez bronco78 alaska.com

I was not even -> familiar with the term index until I started looking at the Advance -> Adapters page. Their NV4500 adapter "fits any standard Ford bellhousing -> 4.848" index." I don't even know what the index on a bellhousing is. Any -> info would be appreciated. -> Very respectfully, -> Brandon Neighbors The "index" it the diameter of the center hole that the pilot bearing housing, "indexes" into the bellhousing in. Or to put it another way, it is the big hole on the Trans side of the bellhousing. I can not tell you if the 390 or "FE" housing has the 4.848 inches in Diameter because I don't have one to go measure. There ain't much that is more standard Ford then a "FE" in a truck so it should be that size. But, this Dim is an easy one to make bigger or smaller. Bigger you just have the machine shop bore it out, smaller you just press fit a bushing of the correct size. What is AA quoting their price for a NV4500 at these days?

Subject: Re: F-E's rule- Petersen's 4wd? Date: Tue, 12 Sep 2000 08:15:33 -0700 Yeah I think it is a stretch to claim that kind of HP out of a 400 without bumping the c.r. and flat top pistons with an 8.25:1 ratio? What's the point? Of course the piece de resistance...they call it a 400M...arrgh! They don't dyno these rigs so they just take whatever the owner says he thinks it is and print it. As far as are they all like that? Well I've subscribed to 2 of them for over 6 years and yeah I think it's safe to say they're biased towards bowtie products but no more than the rest of the aftermarket. When they showcase the latest & greatest, whiz-bang, gotta have it, engine doo hickey it's generally on a SBC with the occasional Windsor motor if it's a Ford specific product. They just don't have the time or resources to hunt down the more obscure parts so they use whatever the manufacturer supplies. Now for the worst products article, well they say in the beginning that they know they're gonna piss a bunch of people off so what did you expect? In addition to the FE they also trash the old style Ford power steering which is absolutely correct, not another one of Henry's "better ideas." (On a side note this isn't the same power steering system that's on the 79 F150 in the feature that they made fun of...I find that a little ironic.) They also dump on the 2.8l engine and IFS from our friends at the General as well as that fine example of automotive engineering, the S series trucks. I've never been a huge FE fan but I certainly wouldn't classify it a "Monster Turd" as Petersen's does. At least now you know they're not going to be doing any 390 hi-po build ups anytime soon...

You could either put in a 400 with 4v heads (if the deck height allowed it to fit in a Pantera) or grind a 400 crank to fit the cleveland and have a whopping power plant. HP is strictly dependent on two things......Torque and RPM. The 4v heads give you all the rpm the bottom end can handle and the stroke gives you gobs of torque so there are posibilities there......:-) While on the subject of rags......I thought "Custom Classic Trucks" was a good rag but I'm very disappointed with their service.

Subject: Amp discharge and lost electrical on 65 F-100 Date: Tue, 12 Sep 2000 11:25:37 -0700 Help! last night my very dependable 65 F-100 (original 240 engine), started showing a 15 amp discharge and my instrument panels and headlights all went very dim. I still had 15 miles to home, and he made it. I parked him, got my flashlight and checked the belts, everything was good and tight. I re-started him, and he started right up, but still with hardly no lights and still showing a 15 amp discharge on the Ampmeter. I know it has to be either the Alternator or the Voltage regulator. Any ideas how I can figure out which one, without replacing them both? Oddly, he also overheated a little...usually maintains at 160 degrees, but during all this was running at 190 degrees and did smell hot, but not dangerously so. I'm guessing this was coincidence.

The power steering system they're trashing is the pre-77 hydraulic ram system which frankly is crap (leak prone, expensive to fix, hard to find parts for, etc.) The newer style 77 & up system closely resembles the Saginaw boxes and is quite reliable.

Date: Tue, 12 Sep 2000 13:18:03 -0600 Subject: Re: Amp discharge and lost electrical on 65 F-100 Sandi.... The way to check this is to full-field the alternator. Basically, you run a 12-volt jumper wire directly to the field wire on the back of the alternator. If the alternator is still good, it will now put out max output (engine will slow down, lights will get brighter, ammeter will go way up). Normally, the voltage on your truck should run about 13.5 to 14 on a fast idle. When you full-field the alternator, voltage will jump as high as 17 or 18 volts. Don't do this for more than a second or you could damage something. Unfortunately, I don't remember which terminal on your alternator is the field terminal , so I can't help you with this. Don't you know any friendly EM's or IC's with a multimeter that could help you out? :-) Most auto parts stores should be able to hook up a tester to the charging system and tell you which is bad. Might want to get a second opinion, though, just in case. On Tue, 12 Sep 2000 11:25:37 -0700 Bird Sandi M CNFB <BirdSM mcpd.navy.mil> writes:

I'm guessing this was coincidence. Normally, I would guess regulator, but the overheating calls for looking at the alternator/generator very closely. It sounds like you may have a bad bearing causing the belt to slip and overheat resulting then in poor driving of the water pump. I may be all wet, but I'd check it. Instead of a bad bearing, you might find a worn out brush that has left its holder and is running against the shaft. Look at that belt closely. That hot smell may be burning belt and not hot engine.

Subject: Re: Call for help from 1967 Owners Date: Tue, 12 Sep 2000 15:46:57 -0500 Thom, I just checked my '70 F100 Custom and the body code is 234. Any help? Jason Kendrick have been trying to determine if Ford ever stamped anything other than "81" for the last two digits of the "body" code as found on the door tag. I would really appreciate if anyone who owns one of these or has access to one would check and share their findings. ------------------------------ From: "G & J Boling" <flash1 alltel.net>

Subject: power window kit Date: Tue, 12 Sep 2000 21:25:12 GMT I found something else to drool over...;) Did ya' notice the power window kit for 73-79 Fords in the new Summit catalog (pg. 282)? It's $200 for the window kit (minus switches) $50-$90 for switches, depending on style. Says "kit bolts directly in place of the original mechanical window components." Looks like a good strong metal unit, not cheap plastic like most kits are. My wish list is getting longer and longer...

I think you was looking at the price of the keyless remote door locks just below the window kits.
