I really wouldnt put this on the slick 50. My first car was a 68 Galaxie Ranch Wagon. My grandpa bought it new in 68, and put 220k miles on it before he passed. I got the car, and on the very first oil change, I drove off spewing oil. The old fliter gasket stayed on the block, and being a teenager in a hurry, I didnt check anything, just started up and drove away. After 100 ft, the oil light started flashing, then went solid. I drove it the 5 miles home, not knowing any better, and asked dad to come look at it. We found the problem, fixed it, and after refilling it with oil, went on to drive it for another year or so before I broke a piston racing out on the hwy. This car never got synthetic, but did get regular service with Valvoline. All those commercials where they drain the oil is phooey. After all its not the lack of oil so much as the lack of cooling that causes a seize right? Maybe Im goofy, I dunno, My brain is tired, Just finished a motor today, and ended up takin 12 hrs to stab.

There's a truck parts store here in Ontario CA. that carries stuff like that cheaper than Dealerships. Check out the Yellow Pages for one near you. It's also a good place to pick up polish, solvents and other items in large containers at a good price. Buying polish to do a tractor trailer from an auto parts store would cost up the ying yang.

Date: Fri, 29 Sep 2000 07:18:25 -0500 (CDT) Subject: Re: Slick 50 just to throw in some interesting facts: I'm not a spokesman for Slick 50 or anything. I run a 231 Buick powered Suzuki Samurai rock crawler all over the country. 4 years ago I converted a GM axial A/C compressor to use as a air compressor for airtools and inflating tires. With no freon or oil in the system I started looking for a way to keep the compressor lubed without adding oil to the lines. Four Wheeler mag responded to a tech question I had written in by suggesting I run some type of "oil additive" (slick 50, duralube etc..) through the compressor on occasion and run the compressor DRY!!!! when in real usage on the trails. I took their advice and run Slick 50 through the compressor every 6 months or so depending on usage. After 4 seasons of hard usage and abuse the compressor still works flawless. Filling the air tank, running an impact wrench, reseating the bead on a 33X14.00 Bogger and putting the tire back on with the impact wrench the compressor will develop a little heat but not enough to prevent me from holding my hand on the compressor when I'm done. At Moab a couple years ago I ran the compressor for about 4 hours straight doing repairs on my own and others vehicles and it got pretty hot but never quit or gave any sign of anything wrong I'm fairly impressed with the qualities of Slick 50 in this situation but not sure if it does this well inside a motor.

I'm sure that I could back the timing up around 4 degrees and cure most of the ping, but then performance begins to deteriorate. Someone on this list has found a way to have variable(in cab) timing by using one of those Electronic Ignition boxes that has an extra set of wires by hooking it to a potentiometer and I think that would be ideal.. I gotta try that someday. Got to get the article again though first. CJ was that you??? By the way those early heads really work best on the '72 and later short blocks (taller block height/less compression). Always use the timing gear sets for the early('68-'70) though. No built in cam retard. My Sons engine is 100% pre '71, and this is the engine that I'm speaking of that gets the ping only on long hard pulls.. More heat causes that I'm sure. Not enough to cause the heat hand to move up more than a bit, but enough to cause the condition I speak of.

Subject: Re: 383's, 396'sm and V10's Wish, The 396 was not intended for medium-duty trucks. If you think of the FE/FT paradigm, then ch*v's scenario would make a 396 marketed sorta like an FE, and for medium duty trucks they had 366 and 427 high deck versions (HD 4 ring pistons) marketed sorta like the FT. Up 'til '70 GM had a 400 cube ceiling on how big a motor would be marketed in the A-bodies. While the 396 went into general production first, it was developed as a smaller bore version of the 427 to meet that limitation. It could be purchased as a formidable engine from the beginning but got the reputation as having some sort of a curse. People'd wind them up like a 327 and the rods/bolts would fail, or the oil pump pickup would just plain fall of the oil pump. Within short order if you went shopping for an SS396 you'd open the hood and find yourself staring at a 307 more often than not. So, I could understand people getting the impression they were a truck engine, because the only ones left running were in pickups, suburbans, and the occasional kingswood estate wagon.

Subject: column needs rebuilt Date: Fri, 29 Sep 2000 15:49:36 GMT I've noticed in the past couple months that my column shaft had some play in it. Last night I was changing my steering wheel and I noticed that it has LOTS of play in the shaft. I didn't have enough time to tear into it, so I don't know what the bearing looks like - or if there even is a bearing there anymore. The column is in my '73 F100 2wd 4spd. It had manual steering, but in my conversion to power steering, I just swapped the center rod, so the outer column is the original manual steering one - there all the same thought, right? I see that Auto Krafters has the bearings for $4 and bearing sleeve for $5, I would need two of each right? Is the bearing sleeve like a retainer for the bearing or what? Are there any other parts that normally get replaced in a column rebuild? My signals work good, don't need to replace the switch, they just don't cancel since PO put on aftermarket steering wheel. Are the bearings and sleeves easy to remove, or do they require pressing/beating out? Is there anything I need to be carefull of or watch out for? Thanks for your help.

Subject: Re: column needs rebuilt Date: Fri, 29 Sep 2000 12:16:16 -0700 I only have a ghost of a memory on this but as I recall the bearing is spring loaded and when you pull the steering wheel the spring is released so the bearing is not fully seated in which case you do have lots of play in the top bearing. It should tighten up when you re-install the wheel if this it the type I'm remembering. Of course even these can be worn out too......

Or if over is it overdriven enough for the charger to be delivering boost at a low rpm? I know a turbo once it is spooled up can achieve max boost regardless of engine rpm. I was thinking if there is a supercharger lag then why would top fuel dragsters use roots type blowers over turbos? Then I realized that those cars probably launch at close to max rpm (close enough to be in boost at lauch anyway).

Subject: buy it? I am considering the purchase of a '79 F-250 supercab (2 wd, 460, AT) for $1500. I think it is a steal, since the beast is in pretty good shape and seems to run and drive well (except for some hesitation when you really stomp on it). However, being unfamiliar with older Fords, I thought I would impose on you 'experts' for your opinions and advice on what kind of things to look for and be aware of. I have heard that 460's are not worth much due the rising popularity of the powerstroke and gas prices. True? Is the 460 a solid, reliable engine? Any comments on the hesitation during hard acceleration would be useful too. Thanks in advance for your help and patience with my (ford) ignorance.

Subject: Late 70's F-Series wanted (A few ?'s) Ok folks. I figured I'd ask a question and see if anyone can help me out here. I'm to the point in my bronco rebuild where I've come to the realization that I won't get it done before winter hits. This is a problem since I need to use my Bronco as a winter driver. My mustang doesn't do snow or ice. :-) I'm looking for a later 70's F-series 4x4 to use this winter. The way I figure it I've got enough spare Ford parts for this vintage that if something does go wrong I might already have what I need. Ideally I'd like to find a pickup with a wrecked front-end since I've got so many spare front body parts laying around it'd be pretty easy to fix one up. So now on with my questions. 1. When did Ford stop putting the FE's in the 70's F-series pickups? Or I guess a better question would be when did they start putting the 351M/400 in them? I'd like to get a pickup with either a 351/400 or a 460 since the 351M is what I'm already familiar with. (Is that heresy on this list to not want an FE?) I know that '78 and '79's had these engines but what about '76 or '77 models? I figure if its a complete POS then I could at least rebuild the motor and use it for my Bronco at some point. (Everyone needs a disposable vehicle to work on don't they?) 2. Does my theory sound reasonable? I don't want to spend more than $3000 for this since I'm not sure I'll be keeping this very long. (At least that's what I'm telling my wife...) :-) 3. Does anyone have any suggestions for where to look for such a beast? I've been looking in the local papers, traversed just about every internet classified ad site and I've come up with exactly zilch. I've got email updates at at least three different sites to keep an eye out for what I want. Thanks, Eric Finn '78 Bronco "The Beast" (Project Still in Progress!)

Subject: Ford engine workshop Date: Fri, 29 Sep 2000 19:15:27 GMT What ever happened to the Ford V8 Engine Workshop at www.wrljet.com? Does it have a new address? I hope we can still use it. It's a very usefull site. If it no longer exhists, what book would have comparable information? Like the info on the different engine families. Can anyone recommend a good book or manual that would be similar?

I've been on this list for years with the man and I can tell you he's very knowledgeable. He'll share his experience without any B.S. and debate opposing views if warranted. If a better way is suggested, it isn't beneath him to acknowledge it. It's not often it happens because he doesn't suggest what he hasn't experienced himself. Gary isn't out to impress anyone and he has impressed the heck out of me. If Gary says he's done something and it worked, I have no doubt, he did and it does. If this is hard feelings over past post, please get over it. You are taking things too personally. There is no room on this list for insults from little egos with hurt feelings. Sorry people. I know I shouldn't waste everyone's time with post like this but Gary's a long time friend and though Gary couldn't give a hoot, it's getting me a little pissed off. Later!

Subject: 300 PCV question Dumb question perhaps, but... The PCV valve is supposed to allow air to pass out of the valve cover but not back in, right? My '78 300 had a cheesy aftermarket air cleaner on it from the previous owner and no hose on the oil filler vent tube. I have since installed a stock 300 airbox but still need to do something about the filler vent. At idle, there's a noticable vacuum on that tube when I cover it with my thumb. That can't be good to have unfiltered air getting sucked into the valve cover. Is there a valve inside the little vent elbow that has failed, or did there used to be a separate valve inline between the air cleaner and the filler? Or was there simply a separate filter element where the hose attached to the airbox? It looks like there's a bracket inside the airbox that might once have held a a cigarette-pack-sized filter. What do people do when they install an aftermarket carb and air filter? Is there some kind of aftermarket PCV system that doesn't need to be routed back into the intake? Like I said, dumb question, but ya gotta start somewhere. --sean ------------------------------ From: "Gary" <gpeters3 lni.net>
