Subject: Re: Plastic interior door panels from LMC catalog Date: Fri, 15 Sep 2000 17:48:28 -0500 I don't like the way the doors look without any sort of panel covering them. Yes I am making things more modern. I also have a place where some metal is cut out on the passenger door. So I want something to cover up that spot. I thought if the LMC plastic panels would fit with some trimming then they would be perfect for me. I am not trying to make my truck look and feel like it did in 66 brand new. I am trying to make it better. That means power windows, power locks with keyless entry, nice stereo, etc. I like to customize things so they look and work the way I want them to. I AM going to cover the doors with something... I was just wondering if the LMC panels could be made to fit or not. If not I make my own or have somebody else make me some custom ones. ---Garrett www.1966ford.com ----- Original Message ----- From: TBeeee aol.com

Subject: Calling all Inline 6 Guru's Hi Gang, I have got a 66 F-100 with a 240 CI In line 6 that my dad bought new 2-17-66. It has 106,000 original miles on it. As far as I can remember, the engine has never been touched other than to do a normal maintenance, water pump, set the valves. Nothing major has been done to the engine. Now for the problem. I was on the freeway going to work Monday when I heard a loud "pop" come from the engine. As soon as it popped, the engine died and would not restart. Got it towed home and finally got a chance to look at it tonight. I noticed that the coil wire wasn't down all the way into the distributor cap. Pulled the coil wire and noticed that the end was black. I took the distributor cap off and turned the engine over with the starter. The rotor didn't turn at all! I am still planning on running a compression check just to see what else may be wrong. I haven't removed the distributor yet either. 1. What else should I check and/or look out for? 2. Is there anything else I should replace while I am replacing the distributor?

Date: Fri, 15 Sep 2000 22:44:01 EDT Subject: Re: Calling all Inline 6 Guru's It almost sounds like you had a "distributor" induced back-fire which may have caused further damage. After you pull the distributor, verify the cam is turning by looking down into the hole while turning the engine. If that looks o.k. then verify that the distributor drive gear didn't have it's shear pin sheared. I could also see your timing gear as having been shattered, but you can rule that out as long as your cam properly turning.

Subject: Re: Calling all Inline 6 Guru's Date: Fri, 15 Sep 2000 21:50:33 -0500 Keith, pull the valve cover and crank the motor over. Watch and make sure all the rocker arms are moving. I thought I had torn up a timing chain once, but when the chain went south, it snapped the camshaft into two pieces. Of course, I didn't discover this untill I had it all back together... Learn from my experience! I know 240/300's have timing gears, but I used my 390 as an example. Check to make sure the distributor gear is secure on the shaft-those rollpins have been known to shear. It looks like someone beat me to it(Thom), but now you know why to check to be sure the cam is turning. Good Luck!

Subject: Re: Just a couple of questions Date: Fri, 15 Sep 2000 22:50:11 -0700 Proportioning valve must be in good shape on this model or the brakes are very mushy no matter how much you bleed them etc.. One thing you can do is put F-350 rear cylinders on it. Mine cost all of $4.95, new, each :-) With stock tires on them they stop just fine but put 33's or larger on them and the brakes go away in a linear fashion with the diameter. One upgrade that helps is the HD dana 44 spindles and brakes with the dual piston setup. Michigan Pot Hole Jumping, 78 Bronco Loving, Gary :-) my 78 > > F-150 4X4 I have the same brake problem.

Date: Fri, 15 Sep 2000 22:58:53 EDT Subject: Re: Calling all Inline 6 Guru's Jason --Good advice, but the valve cover pull will probably cost a gasket. The distributor pull will only cause frustration when Keith tries to line it all back up at TDC! The compression test that he plans on running is a good idea too because if the cam isn't turning it will show as no compression in a few cylinders. These do have gears as mentioned and I have one on the rack from my 66 240 that is almost split in two. Fortunately, I detected it before it went, but the noise it made led me to tear the motor down for a complete rebuild last year.

Unless you are winching out of deep, gooey thick mud regularly, it should be more than enough for your Bronco. My brother in law has one on his '79 and has never had a problem with not enough pulling power. As for the braking problem, you might want to look at the rubber brake lines at the front wheels and the ones that attach the frame to the axle. Every 4WD disc braked Ford that I've owned had rubber brake hoses that were almost pulled in two. This can cause a low pedal because there is actually a slight amount leaking through the rubber. They could also be bulging the rubber hoses.

I would appreciate any >> coments you all have. Well here is my opinion.. I own a 78 Bronco, and would never consider anything less then a 9500# winch AND a snatch block "enough" Reality is the bronco weighs in the range of 4500~5200. Add rolling resistance, added resistance from mud, suction, snow pack, rock ledge, gravity and a 8000# winch is really not enough.... Now add the fact that a on a Warn 8274 , the cable on it's 4th layer (short pull to the anchor) your 8000# winch is only capable of pulling 6600#. A warn X8000 on the 4th layer is 6230, a HS9500I on 4th layer is 7400#, a M12000 on 4th layer is 9770. This in itself is reason enough to go the Bigger is better route. I am also on the bigbroncos.com list...... some 700 members,,, none of which that I know of would admit a 8000# winch is enough either. >Next question, Brakes...

And for that metal panel at the bottom, its easily removable for a reason...access to the inner workings of the door. You get a panel from a '67, or a custom one that covers the whole inside of the door, you're gonna have to pull it off every time you need to work on those power windows or power door locks. -Mel 1965 F100 Custom Cab ------------------------------ From: "Dutch." <dutchman esatclear.ie>

Subject: 428CJ Balance question I just acquired a 428CJ in pieces. What I have not found yet is the little weight that goes on the snout of the crank. My crank is numbered 1UB. Do all 428CJ's use this balance. I do know that they are supposed to be externally balanced. Thanks in advance for your help. Bill ------------------------------ From: TBeeee aol.com
Date: Sat, 16 Sep 2000 07:41:48 EDT Subject: Re: Calling all Inline 6 Guru's - Part 2 Keith: It is possible that there was damage caused to the cam if it was not turning in synch with the crank. Seems like I remember a warning in the shop manual. If you need to pull the cam you'll have to take the radiator out, but first things first. The crank bolt should come out nicely with an impact wrench. I usually shock it loose by keeping the truck out of gear then using a large breaker bar. Keep hitting the breaker bar sharply with a wooden mallet. The crank may turn a few times as you go, but just keep re-adjusting the wrench and keep going you'll get there. From there, you'll need a puller to get the front crank pully off. It's fairly straight-forward from there. Good luck.

Subject: Re: Calling all Inline 6 Guru's - Part 2 Date: Sat, 16 Sep 2000 08:15:13 -0700 Keith, removing the radiator is a good move in any case since it almost makes the job "Enjoyable" for the room it gives you for removing only 4 bolts. I always take it out for front end work :-) I always use my 1/2" impact for this bolt too, to loosen and also tighten. As I said before my torque wrench......and impact wrench are tools at my disposal but I'm still the boss so it's up to me to determine when to stop tightening. The crank is hard to hold while you torque or break a bolt without damaging something. When I really want to hold it I usually remove the tranny inspection cover and find a hole in the flywheel to stick something through and wedge it against the housing in some fashion. Solid flywheels don't give you much to work with..... I have had limited success using a breaker bar/socket and hammer but be aware that this treatment will eventually, if not immediately, lead to damaging the breaker bar. If you remove the pulleys you may be able to get a box wrench on it which works much better IMHO but is more work. Removing the radiator also gives you the opportunity to check the radiator ....
