<< On the last couple of 302s I've had to take the front cover off of, the method of getting the damper bolt loose I've used is to snap a pair of vise grips on one flange of the pulley in a way that they'll wedge against the frame rail or block when I apply the flex bar. >> Or, you might do what I've done on many occasions. Place socket and ratchet or breaker bar on damper bolt. Then lay the handle on the frame, tie rods, or what ever will hold, then pull the coil wire and bump the starter. Works every time, but you do have to be careful. In my opinion the air impact does work best.

I don't see a level of off topic post worth complaining about. As a guess I would say 90+% of the post here are Ford truck related. As much as I enjoy the information shared on this list I feel without a little levity from time to time, this list would be a bore. As Gary suggested, just delete what you have no interest in. I support the black and white rules on off topic post and I'm thankful for the gray Ken allows us. > It's getting too tedious and it's drivin' potential contributors away.

I beg to differ. We have stopped many attempts to violate our rights to own our trucks through emission regulations that would make it nearly impossible for some of us to afford the cost it would take buying stock parts that came on 30 or 40 year old vehicles. And other conspiracy theories have entertained the he** out of me. > It's not "list cop" mentality.It was just a casual observation. Then why wasn't your subject "I hope to upgrade to power steering on my '66 F100 352 cu in long bed." and casually mention your observation on non truck related post. Are you not as (if not more) guilty of generating non truck talk, with your petty grievance, than those you point your finger? > I'm in Ireland so any info would be appreciated. You live in a country ruled by another and you call yourself "Dutch". Strange. Very strange indeed. "/ Hey, I'm just pulling your chain.

Subject: Re: 64-66 Door panels All this talk about door panels reminds me of a unique feature on the '65 F100 I once had. I forget now if it was a custom or reg cab as I put her to rest in 1980 when I bought a '78 F150 4x4. The ditch side door panel had a zippered "door" made of a plastic-canvas material. Inside the lower part of the door was a plastic box with holes in the bottom. Just wondering if anyone else has ever seen/know of this feature. Was it a rare Ford item or maybe an after-market add-on and what was it intended for? (Worked good for a beer cooler!) This truck was originally purchased (new) by our local electric utility co. The truck also had 16x5 five hole wheels, which I still have. Gregster ------------------------------ From: "TimS" <tsherva prismnet.com>
Subject: 66 F100 to front disc Date: Sun, 17 Sep 2000 08:24:20 -0500 Hi All Read that tech article on the FTE web site about disc brake conversions and it said for 65 & 66 use parts from a 74. Is this the only year or If I find a 73-79 in the bone yard can I use the I-beam and radius arms as well. I'm asking because I think I can save time and back by taking a torch with me and just cutting the brackets and take the I-beams and radius arms with all the disc brake hardware intact.

Subject: Re: 66 F100 to front disc Date: Sun, 17 Sep 2000 10:56:09 -0500 Tim, I would think all years from '73 to '79 would work. I think there was an issue with the tie rod ends for pre '67 trucks.

Subject: More Trucks? Date: Sun, 17 Sep 2000 11:36:39 -0700 Is anybody near SLC, Utah interested in a 68 F250 or 72 F350 flatbed dually? I've just come across a guy that is selling both trucks because they are "taking up space". I'm going to go take a look at them, and probably buy both. Funny thing is, I don't have room for them! BTW: they both have 390's, and the 68 has power steering Michael danger csolutions.net

You had your choice of getting 1, 2, or zero. I have 3 64's (two will live, one for parts) and one of them came with two pockets, the other came with one. It was just an ingenious use of otherwise wasted space- a sort of catch-all I suppose. They are hard to find still intact. Out of the three I had, only one was useable. The plastic tub cracked on a lot of them. The 16 inch wheels are neat. you had your choice of 15, 16, and even 16.5- all with the same bolt pattern. I have 2 16.5's for anyone who might want them.

Subject: Clouds and clouds of white smoke Date: Sun, 17 Sep 2000 23:17:55 GMT This is my pickup: 1973 F100 390 true dual exhaust swapped to 4v cast intake about year ago, had to replace gaskets this spring because of oil leak at rear of intake, sealed up, ran great. About two weeks ago it got rather warm on ONE occasion (never acted up before or after that), all I can guess is t'stat sticking (may be connected, may not). Now to my bad day: I was on my way into town Fri afternoon (about 3 miles) and my pickup started to miss after about 2 miles. So I let off to slow down and my eyes were drawn to the masses of white smoke coming from my exhaust - both sides. That's a terrible sight. Temp and oil guages read normal. Pulled over and stopped, still missing badly, shut it off. Everything seemed normal under hood, but then I saw it, antifreeze running out of my donut(sp?) gasket on driver's exhaust manifold. Towed it home and pulled the plugs - #3 was a little wet, #8 was soaked, rest were fine. #3 and #8 are connected by an intake runner, so I'm assuming that the water came in near #8 and ran across the intake to #3 (sound logical?). Hoped it was a blown gasket or even cracked intake. Pulled it apart today, gasket appears good, intake just blocks off that water jacket so probably not intake. Looked over intake and #8 ports and water jacket, no apparent cracks or problems. What would you do? Assume it is the intake gasket and put it together and try it? Or go to the extra expense and time to pull the heads and have them checked? This is my daily driver so I am anxious to get it going again. And I have limited funds (like everyone), this stuff always happens when money is tight. What would you suggest?

If it is just a gasket you could save yourself alot of money by doing it now (as far as head gaskets and heads) then waiting untill the thing blows up on you and ya gotta replace alot more then just the gaskets know what I mean?

Subject: Auction 78 F250 Needs help Date: Sun, 17 Sep 2000 18:41:09 -0700 Ok believe it or not.... I got the axle and that big tire on by myself (pat on the back) I even managed to figure out how to put a distributor on, the solenoid (sorry know the spelling wrong) was pretty self explanatory (my husband had to come back to the house for a phone interview). When he got back all he had to do was help with the electrical stuff electronic ignition and that stuff. Well long story short it was trying to turn over by the end of Friday. Didn't get it running though and a very nice tow truck man cut me a deal of $50 to flat bed it the 28 miles home. Ok I just redid the axle (cause I didn't have any grease at the time) Is there a way to check to see if the electronic ignition stuff is ok or if I need to replace it I did buy a universal ignition switch but I think I'll let Tom deal with that ( I don't mind mechanical but electrical drives me nuts) Other than fluids Ideas on need to checks? Oh and as your facing the truck with the hood open on the left side wall closer to the fire wall than the starter there are two or three bolt holes what goes there? I cant figure it out even with the haynes manual Dawn Chere '78 F 100 '78 F 250 XLT ------------------------------ From: "Dawn Chere" <dawnchere ados.com>
