Subject: Re: PLEASE PLEASE HELP Date: Sun, 19 Nov 2000 21:06:55 -0600 Dan, if your sungle pulley/balancer combo has the correct bolt pattern, chase the threads with a tap to clean them, and try the big pulleys on to check for the proper alignment. If your current pulley/balancer doesn't have the bolt holes, you'll have to switch to the thicker balancer. If you switch to the thicker balancer, you might also have to get the proper spacer for the alternator. I think it will have to be thicker. As a matter of fact, why not just grab the water pump pulley, so you have a matching set? Good luck! Jason Kendrick ------------------------------ From: "John Watson" <johnw illawarramercury.com>

Subject: [61-79-list] Re: temp sensor question HOLD UP!!! The factory location or a temp unit is on the absolute backside of your head between the back of the motor and the firewall-- I've installed every kind of Autometer gauge known to man on my '300, and that's the one I used because the split manifolds covered the other one. Depending on what kind of guage you are buying, you can't use a mechanical sending unit on some because the temp pobe is too long and will hit the cyl wall. If you are using an electrical sender, you'll be fine.

Subject: Re: PLEASE PLEASE HELP Date: Sun, 19 Nov 2000 22:12:47 -0600 Yeah, I did pull the water pump pulley too. It looks like everything will line up although I might need to change the spacer on the fan, too long with the new pulley. The pulley on the crank has the correct holes but the new pulley won't fit over. The alternator is as far forward (toward the front of the truck) as the bracket will allow. Can I add a spacer behind the alternator pulley itself? I can't thank you enough for your prompt reply. I really appreciate it.

So what you are saying is that it takes more torque to slip the tires and move the vehicle? That doesn't mean that the torque is multiplied. Just the input torque is raised (by the engine). The same thing occurs when climbing an obstacle while rockcrawling. For example I have 300 lb/ft available and a 100:1 crawl ratio. If I'm not at the peak torque to crawl up an incline, I add throttle input until the peak torque RPM. I haven't changed my crawl ratio, just raised the input torque from the motor.

Subject: Re: Hubs locked? was D 60 Date: Mon, 20 Nov 2000 00:10:14 -0800 The point is that you don't want to drive down the highway at 70 mph with 300# torque on the transfer case gears and the disparity between the axles does produce some mechanical advantage in addition to the torque the engine produces. It actually uses the other axle to "Drive" through the transfer case to build more pressure on the system than is normal. Again, this only can happen when you have perfect traction and no tires are slipping such as when on dry pavement at speed. You can see the result to some degree in a parking lot when you attempt to turn into a parking space while locked in and pavement is dry. Every couple of turns of the wheel causes the tires to break loose with some very noticeable steering input and shaking of the whole vehicle. With a 203 case or other full time case this doesn't happen. For rock crawling we expect this on an intermittant basis for short durations at very slow speeds. Because they are short durations and at low speeds there is less heat produced. On the highway the added pressure will produce enough friction to cause premature wear and the extra heat produced will undoubtedly damage the oil and bearings over time, further adding to the problem. You don't need to take my word for it, ask any reputable gear head. The torque I am talking about is not related to the crawl ratio or any other gear ratio, it is developed by the disparity between the axles in a turn. The ratio in a bronco is 1.44. Where there is a ratio there is a multiplication.......The engine torque on the system is multiplied by the difference between the axles. In this case an additional .44 is added to any mechanical advantage in the system but against itself up to the point where a tire slips and releases the pressure. The better the traction the higher the torque can be multiplied before they slip, up to a .44 advantage. On a duece the tires can't slip so something else gives, your arms. I've personally experienced this and it's pretty scary, especially when you are close to an obsticle and the truck is still moving but with no steerage.......and it definitely can break your arm or wrist, easily. It's hard to describe just how violent this phenomenon is. It's serious enough that the military goes to great lengths to teach drivers how to avoid it and there is a warning sticker in the cab which explains how to avoid it as well.

Subject: Re: Hubs locked? was D 60 Date: Mon, 20 Nov 2000 00:22:45 -0800 In 2wd this is true. Some vehicles don't seem to use a whole lot more gas but others seem to be very dramaticly affected. For reasons already mentioned it can be said that it is actually "better" to keep them locked in 2wd. The lube effect of running the moving parts actually overcomes the wear factor most of the time. I would venture to guess that most of us don't think about the rust on the seal surfaces of a dana 44 front end so don't lock the hubs on a weekly basis but I'm sure that would help quite a bit to reduce the rusting both there and in the ujoints which tend to dry out if they are not moved. If you want to be lazy, at low speeds, you can just flop it into 4wd for a few minutes to move the axles around and redistribute the oil around the seals but don't do this for long distances or at any speed or you will destroy the spider gears and pins in the diff.

Chances are any long block you get will have later heads on it so it won't be much of an issue. I'm running the higher compression, 70 vintage on garbage gas with never a peep and most will tell you this is a trait of the 460 design.

Subject: Re: Fwd: FE Pulleys Date: Mon, 20 Nov 2000 08:36:29 -0700 I just took apart a 74 or 75 for these pulleys. It had PS and AC. It also has 3 groove pulleys like you mention here. The AC belt went around the crank pulley AND the water pump pulley. So both would need three grooves. Hope that helps. Dan I need two grooves on the water pump pulley to run the power steering and the alt properly. I can see where the crank pulley is for AC if used. Any ideas what the third groove on the waterpump pulley is for? Thanks in advance Rollie ============================================================= To unsubscribe: www.ford-trucks.com/mailinglist.html#item3 Please remove this footer when replying. ------------------------------ From: "Nichols, Josh" <Josh.Nichols svseeds.com>
Subject: Re: D 60 Date: Mon, 20 Nov 2000 08:49:13 -0800 Don't the excursions have 10.25 rears--with disks too. I think the 250/350 superdutys have D50 fronts as well. Anyone have the specs on the D50 front? How strong is it compared to the HP D60 ? Josh -----Original Message----- From: James Oxley [mailto:luxjo thecore.com]

Subject: [61-79-list] Re: Another 460 Debate :-) I would venture to guess that at 1700 rpm there is a significant difference. Due to camming the difference diminishes at higher rpms......unless, of course you have added a roller cam to the 460 along with a new manifold and Rochester carb and........ But you are right, they are both awesome -) BTW, which came first the chick......I mean the 429 or 460? As I recall the first one was the 429 around 68 ? Doesn't really matter of course since the 460 is Ki............:-) (and the good 429 heads fit just fine :-)) BTW, before I ....
