I have a big problem in school zones (20 mph) Henry runs at about 25 with my foot off of the gas. The curb idle is set correctly, that's just how easy he rolls. At a stop light, in Drive, curb idle will run about 600-650, well within spec. When I am rolling, the idle does not drop below 950 unless I apply the service brake. I use 2nd gear when needed to keep from toasting the brakes. -- John jlagrone ford-trucks.com <]:-) <]:-)<]:-)<]:-)<]:-)<]:-)

Check around, but these guys were among the most reasonable and seem to have their act together. I emailed them and had a quote within 8 hours. The price I quoted also assumed a terminal drop off and pickup. That means the vehicle was to be dropped off at the truck terminal in the departure city and picked up at the terminal in the arrival city. Door to door service was an additional $100. Hope this helps. -----Original Message----- From: Huston, Virgil H. [mailto:vhhuston switch.com]

Won't help you much since a new valve body would be needed, which also means a new case and some way to stop which ever part of planetary setup that needs to be stopped to get the overdrive ratio.

> >This 'compliance' was mainly met with a >camshaft retard, right? Yo Jimbo: The M-block 400 was equipped with both EGR and Thermactor (AIR) systems when first introduced in 1971. Both of those are emission control systems. Starting in 1973, cam timing was retarded also. Most other Ford engines in light-duty applications were equipped w/ the same emissions control equipment at about the same time. >Was the retard in the chain??? Sort of. Ford retarded the original cam timing by changing the position of the keyway on the crankshaft sprocket. You can use the pre-retarded ('71-'72) crank sprocket to return the cam timing to 0 if you use the OEM timing chain and cam sprocket. The pre-retarded crank sprocket part # is C8SZ-A. The complete pre-retarded timing set part # is D0AZ-A. Ford recently obsoleted those parts, but you might be able to find a dealer w/ some still in stock. I understand they are available from the aftermarket too. >It would only seem probavle since my Performer >RPM 400 degreeded in perfectly with a new >double-roller, set at zero advance. Only the OEM-type crank sprockets are made w/ the cam timing retard built in. Most aftermarket performance timing sets have multiple-keyway crank sprockets, which allow you to set timing to 0, or advance or retard cam timing in 6-degree (or so) increments.

Subject: Re: wooden carb spacer/adapter ...mmm, let us know if it does. I have been thinking about a wooden spacer ever since a thread on this group many moons ago centered on it...I, too, was a little concerned about the glues in plywood.

Subject: Tilt column u-joint Date: Thu, 26 Oct 2000 17:28:07 -0500 My '78 F150 has a tilt wheel with quite a bit of slop. I took all the plastic off the column, and the turn signal cam and goodies, and can see that all the slop is in the u-joint. How hard are these to replace, cost, any special tools required, and how do I get the shifter coller off?

Subject: Re: wooden carb spacer/adapter Date: Thu, 26 Oct 2000 17:08:43 -0600 Possible alternative materials to plywood which are really easy to machine: Polypropylene Sheet, 12" x 12" x 3/4" - $11.83 (MSC catalog) Nylon 6/6 Sheet, 12" x 12" x 3/4" - $42.91 (MSC catalog) The catalog lists the temperature range of the polypropylene as 32F to 210F, which may not be adequate. The temp range for nylon is not listed, but my materials book lists the melting point of nylon 6/6 at 509F, versus 347F for polypropylene. (Doesn't mean the working temp range is this high). Anyway, just a thought. (although the expense of the nylon may defeat the purpose of using plywood in the first place?) -Randy '79 f250 460 supercab -----Original Message----- From: 61-79-list-bounce ford-trucks.com

Subject: [61-79-list] wooden carb spacer/adapter I made a 3/4" birch plywood 2v - 4v adapter so I could mount a Motorcraft 2150 on a Motorcraft 4350 specific intake manifold. After about 10 miles of city driving it seems to be working fine. It really is an amazing heat insulator. Anybody have experience with "store bought" or homemade wooden spacers? I wonder if the glues used in furniture grade plywood are going to have trouble standing up to the gasoline exposure.

Subject: Re: wooden carb spacer/adapter Date: Thu, 26 Oct 2000 21:07:21 -0400 Made one a few years ago for a hot running 350R Ol*s motor from veneered particle board- working fine. I'd say the glue actually helps the situation. Natural woods tend to warp when exposed to extremes. You do want to use wood, rather than plastics, for the insulating properties (and for the fact that plastics soften well below their actual melt point....= leaks! ----- Original Message ----- From: Greg <greg gregster.com>
