Subject: What to do about a dented up floor on my box? Date: Sat, 14 Oct 2000 00:20:52 -0500 The bottom of my box has some dents in it, it appears the previous owners of the truck used it to haul some really heavy stuff before. What can I do to make the inside of the box look nice? I am going to eventually cover the inside with Herculiner but the largish dents will definitely show. I was thinking of maybe doing something like cutting a large piece of particleboard the same size as the bed. I would cut out the wheel wells, etc so it would cover the entire "floor" of the box. After I had it in there, I would apply the Herculiner on top of it. I realize I would have to somehow waterproof the particleboard on the bottom, but does this sound like a good idea? Anyone have any better suggestions? I will be getting a digital camera in a few days so I can provide some pictures on the dents if that would be helpful. Oh, and the rest of the box is in pretty good shape. And I have a roll pan welded to it too, so please don't tell me to find a new box! ;-) ---Garrett www.1966ford.com ------------------------------ From: "Keith" <A2JKEITH GCI.NET>

Subject: Problem with a '78 Nan, There have several good discussions on the list about this problem. I even made a chart to trouble shoot this problem based on all the input from this list. Unfortunately I lost my copy. It should be in the archives. There was also a short discussion about two weeks ago on the list. There are two catagories for trouble shooting this problem. Does it turn over slow or normal when the engine is hot? Write back with this info and the list should take off from there.

Subject: Bolt won't fit?!#$! I have a seemingly stupid problem. Last weekend I bought an '81 I-6 300 engine to swap into my '66 Club Wagon. I went for broke and even bought an engine hoist and engine stand figuring one can never be shorthanded when it comes to tools. This is the first time I've ever pulled or swapped and engine, so I'm sure I'll have more questions in the coming weeks. Anyway, my main problem is that I can't get any bolts to properly hold the engine on the engine stand. I know, it sounds stupid, but it's driving me CRAZY. I need a 4" bolts for the engine stand arms (to thread into the holes in the engine block for the bellhousing). I figure they are 3/8" course thread bolts. Problem is that when I use this sized bolt, there is some slop and as soon as I begin to lower the hoist, the bolts pop right out as though they are stripped. Not good. But the real headscratcher is that if I take an OEM bolt that matches the diameter and thread pitch of the 4" bolt (it's a bolt that previously held on the large alternator bracket), it fits snug and tight. The same sized nut fits on both bolts just fine. The only thing I can figure is that the 4" 3/8 bolts I bought aren't manufactured to the same tolerances as the OEM bolt and the slight difference is accounting for the slop. I've tried other sized bolts and none fit the engine block. Am I nuts or doing something stupid?! I've had other competant friends take a look and they were all confused as well. I don't have a tap and die set, but will I have to recut the threads to make sure? Any advice is appreciated.

Subject: Re: Bolt won't fit?!#$! Date: Sat, 14 Oct 2000 09:33:38 -0700 All tranny bolts I've ever seen were 7/16" coarse thread (14 th/in if I recall). 3/8 are 16 th/in and a 7/16 nut will thread on them fine due to the extra space in the threads but won't hold beans. Get grade 8, 7/16 and use pipe as bushings to secure it to the arms on the stand. The stand should have come with bushings for this but if not you can use a pipe cutter to make them. Cut them as accurately as you can as to length and squareness for best results. Make sure you are not mixing metric bolts and nuts. All threads on the 61 vintage are SAE, american threads, the 80's vintage had many metric bolts and nuts on them, they are not compatible. Metric thread pitches are typically finer for a given general size range.

Subject: Re: FW: Problem with a '78 Date: Sat, 14 Oct 2000 10:00:43 -0700 If it appears to be cranking slowly it is probably due to fuel percolating into the manifold. This is especially likely to be the case if you get some back firing in the process. The apparent hard cranking is due to over rich mixture and engine trying to run backwards along with fuel washing oil off the cylinder walls etc... Ford big blocks typically do this in hot weather. Some say it's the starter and this may be the case as well but I've had trouble like this with all my big fords. The critical timeing for this phenomenon is about 5 minutes after turning it off to about 15 minutes after. Normally outside this range it will start normally if percolation is the problem. I would think the starter over heating problem would require more time to cool but maybe not, haven't looked into that one yet :-) Sounding off after starting may be an indication of another, unrelated problem.

Either that or what you think are 3/8" bolts are really metric... The new bolts are the same tolerance as the old ones. I've never seen a problem by something like this.

Subject: fuel pump bad? Date: Sat, 14 Oct 2000 19:20:04 -0400 I've had two old ones on there, but neither want to PUMP the gas. This is what happens with the two that I've tried: When I'm sucking the gas out of a jar with about a foot of tube between the jar and pump, bubbles come out of the tube in pulses. The level in the jar does not change, and gas goes into the fuel filter in pulses, but does not stay there. What seems to be happening is the gas just gets pumped one way, and then goes back in the other direction. Am I doing something wrong, or are both pumps bad and I'm in need of a new one? -bob- -----Original Message----- From: 61-79-list-bounce ford-trucks.com

The check valve in the pump has gone bad and is allowing the pumped gas to return up the feed line. 2. The pump is connected backwards. The pump should have a diaphram in it that acts like a water baloon. The pump lever is connected to the diaphram. When the lever is activated it expands the diaphram and causes it to suck in gas. The check valve prevents the gas from going back up the line. When the lever returns it doesn't force the gas out that is the job of the diaprham, the rod just slips. As the diaprham is now full like a water baloon it puts the approx 6 psi of pressure on the gas and prevents the pump from forcing open the carb float needles. From this description and my own experience, the pump can operate if the output is blocked (normal operation when the carb bowls are full). But if the input is blocked it can rupture the diaphram when the lever tries to actuate it. I would try swapping the hose to the other connection then a new pump from the store.

Subject: Re: fuel pump bad? Date: Sat, 14 Oct 2000 22:58:19 -0400 I put the pump back in the same direction and connected it as it had been when I took it out. Previously to welding the line open, it had worked problem free. My guess is I stirred up some debris and ruined both pumps. I'm going to put a fuel filter in front of the pump as well as replace the pump. If this doesn't work, maybe I'll go back to welding the fuel lines and see if I can't blow the tank the next time around!

Subject: Re: frozen e-brake on 61 Date: Sun, 15 Oct 2000 00:13:58 -0400 I had this problem on my 78. I took an oil can & filled it with tranny fluid and soaked the whole cable from front to back for a couple of days. soak it really good where the cable is inside the outer metal sleeve (cable usually rusts inside the outer sleeve & will not slide back & forth) after soaking for a couple of days,grab ahold of the the outer sleeve & flex it back & forth to help break the rust loose.this worked on the one side on mine but the other one broke --so I went & got new replacement rear cables for mine. the front part of the cable is still good & everything works fine.hope this helps. -----Original Message----- From: Joe <shoman p3.net>
