Subject: Re: Brake pedal "stuck" Eric, I'm in digest mode, so perhaps this has already been suggested. I had to install a spring under my dash (to pull the brake pedal back up) on both my 68 F100 and 68 Torino. I used a carb-return spring in both cases. Mind you, the brake pedal in neither goes all the way to the floor, so the spring just helps return the pedal to the fully-up position. I also found the brake linkage on my Torino was a bit stiff (even w/ the MC pulled out), so I had to pull it apart and lube it up. Helped a lot. As a funny note, one day the spring in my truck broke when I applied the brake. The spring shot out, hit me in the place you don't want to be hit (No. Not in the eye...), and ricocheted out the open window. *Doh* Scared the bejeepers outta me at the time b/c I didn't know what hit me. Funny now, but not so funny at the time. :-) Hope this helps. Ohio Bill 1968 F100 360 2v 4 speed 1968 Torino GT 429 4v 5 speed >I've got one more question about my '79 F-350.

I've been following this with vague interest as it gets discussed quite a bit, but its always interesting to find out if they really have an ls rearend or not, but Michael, this post has me completely shaking my head ... > There are 2 types of LS commonly used, a 2 piece case, and >a 2 pinion LS.

So ... then how does this 2 pinion thing work ? I mean great, you put an idler on the other side of the ring gear, that would be a second pinion I guess, but it still wouldn't give you a limited slip ... somehow you have to connect the two axles in order to set up a limited slip or locking scenario ... And what exactly do you mean by "resembles and open differential by appearance, but is noticeably different" ?

Subject: Re: 4spd 3rd gear shift grinding > When I try to shift into third gear, I have to push (moderately hard) to the > far right of the gate, and then up, for it to go in. Otherwise, it grinds. Probably just worn syncros. My 78 150 with 4 speed sometimes needs a double push to hit 3rd--first push enough to feel the syncro resistance, then back off, then go all the way into gear. Also have to be careful not to shift from 3rd to 4th if I've been driving steady-state or decelerating in 3rd. I'm guessing with the 3rd to 4th quirk that a shaft somewhere has ovalled its mount, and acceleration forces are needed to keep it pushed against the correct side of the slop. Sometimes such quirks irritate me, other times I just remind myself that old vehicles aren't unreliable, they just have lots of character :).

Subject: Re: It Worked Dan, Congratulations on the power steering swap. I did the same and my biggest fear was that I would spend all that money and time collecting used parts and the steering gear or the pump would be shot. It didn't turn out to be the case. And it sounds like it didn't happen to you either. I have two comments about the swap. One - I also had a problem with the length of the new shaft (from a power steering truck) I used in my old column housing (from my manual steering truck). I ended up adding some big washers to the bottom of the shaft to change the point at which the lower bearing contacted the shaft. I also had to grind off some material from the little clamp at the bottom. It turns out that there is a clamp which is specific to the power steering trucks (different part number). Also, the center shaft came up past the nut on the top too far to put my horn button on. I ended up cutting a hole in the back of my horn button. It worked fine, turn signals and all The other thing you did not mention was the sheet metal "thing" that mounts to the firewall and holds the bottom of the column in place with a clamp. It is different for the power steering trucks. Using the old manual "thing" puts a downwards stress on the column. I'm thinking it would wear out the steering column bearings prematurely.

Subject: Knock Knock update #1 Coolant was low, which explains the hot running. I'm usually very particular about keeping fluids at their proper levels, so that's an embarassing find. I've tried the heater hose stethoscope trick three times now and can't hear anything strange. Not much sound at all when placed against the water pump, nothing but quiet valve train sounds on the valve cover, and what I assume is normal smooth running sounds at various points on the oil pan. To make things even more fun, the knock has become even more sporadic. I'll pull into the driveway with it clearly audible in the cab. Grab the heater hose, crawl under the truck and go through the motions. Find nothing, poke my head back in the cab to see if the knock is still there. Nope, gone. Maybe it's an atomic particle knock--the act of observing it makes it disappear :). One more, maybe unrelated question. When starting the engine after it sits for a day or more, I get a whooshing scraping sound for maybe 1 second after the engine catches. This only happens the first time the engine is run after an extended sit. Is that the sound of lifters that have drained down, or would that be more of a clatter? This isn't a new noise--has done it since I bought the vehicle. Just curious... --sean ------------------------------ From: "Jason Derra" <derrar internetcds.com>

Except for some knowledgable four-wheelers, and a few drag racers (who actually use spools more than the locker you are referring to): to most people locker, locking diff, limited slip, Posi, and Trak-loc all mean the same thing: a clutch type limited slip unit. So if anybody tells you they have a locker, ask them what kind. If they don't say Detroit Locker, Air Locker, Powertrax, Lock-Right, True-Trac (which is a limited slip, but not clutch type, it works with gears and is based on the Torsen units) or spool, then it is most likely that they have a clutch type limited slip.

The difference is unimaginable, you thought you liked to drive your truck before, now it's even better. Not that tough either, is it... You said that the shaft is a little too long, did you try to move the column? My '73 column has oval holes where it bolts up under the dash, maybe you could loosen the column and slide it up so it's closer to the steering wheel. Might be able to move it far enough to cancel the signals. Just a thought. Marty _____________________________________________________________________________________ Get more from the Web.

I appreciate your comments or experiences you have had. Regards Erol B. Istanbul-Turkey>> Erol, first of all, your mounts for the 302 are ava. through many aftermarket outlets including JC Whitney. they also carry a mount for the trans as well, but a crossmember from a later truck will fit too (up till 1972 i believe). they also make mounts for 460's, 351m-400, FE's, and Ch*vies. the disc brakes are a bit trickier, but Bob's F100's makes an adapter to use GM calipers and Mopar (?) roters. As long as your going thru the trouble you can swap the steering box for a unit from a early 80's toyota 4x4. you get a tighter box and power steering too. the toy box has a GM spline size too, so you could use a GM tilt collumn as well. nice setup for sure.

Subject: Re: Limited Slip Dana 60 Rear? Date: Wed, 13 Dec 2000 20:16:39 -0800 I used to call them pinions too because in certain types of gear arrangements they are pinions but in this case they are called spider gears, the pinion is the drive gear that connects to the ring gear as stated below. In an auto tranny they would be called "planet" gears because they rotate around the "Sun" gear but in this case they "crawl" around the side gear like little spiders :-) Perhaps they are loosely called pinions because they are mounted on "Pins" :-) Sorry to be so silly tonight but I have had a very bad week so far and needed to just say something light.......I'll explain later :-( Along with the "Locker" discussion, most of us loosely call anything that connects the axles "Lockers" but as already pointed out there are True lockers and Limited slips which have significant distinctions. My only experience with either was a factory "Traction Loc" in the rear of my 4x4 van and I can tell you that this van was pretty awesome even when it was 2wd due to the "Locker" in the rear :-) In my Bird and Aerostar I will eventually put some type of LS, probably a True Trac but in my trucks I am leaning toward a true locker, probably a Detroit but I might try the cheaper lockright just to get an impression of how it will function in snow etc. for work purposes, plowing in particular (got stuck the other night :-)) Perhaps a cheap locker for a cheap vehicle.......don't ask if you don't already know :-) Happily Semi-Retired, Michigan Pot Hole Jumping, 78 Bronco Loving, Gary :-) > Replies within: > > > A 2 pinion ?

Subject: Re: 4spd 3rd gear shift grinding Date: Wed, 13 Dec 2000 20:35:55 -0800 If it is syncros then you can alleviate the grind by short shifting at exactly the correct speed for the gears to be matched. This means like a grandpa, not a hot rod but it gets you down the road :-) You can also double clutch if you want to hot rod it but that takes a lot of practice to get right and you will grind a few pounds before you get it perfected. Don't know why pushing to one side or the other makes any difference. That has little to do with the way the syncros work??

Subject: Re: Painting ??'s Date: Wed, 13 Dec 2000 20:00:07 -0600 I would think that ANY HVLP paint gun would work with that compressor. If fact any normal paint gun should work with it too, depending oh how often you spray compared to how often you pause to let the compressor catch up. Spray guns really don't take all that much air to operate, since they usually run at 40 PSI or less. Try the Eastwood Company, the sell paint guns, HVLP and regular style... otherwise a local auto parts store should be able to hook you up. Good luck! Anymore questions, let them fly!

My wife just bought me a 5 HP - 13 gal air compressor for my b'day. Has anyone made a HVLP paint gun that will run off of this small of a compressor?

I had to install a spring under my dash (to pull the brake pedal back up) on both my 68 F100 and 68 Torino. I used a carb-return spring in both cases. Mind you, the brake pedal in neither goes all the way to the floor, so the spring just helps return the pedal to the fully-up position. I also found the brake linkage on my Torino was a bit stiff (even w/ the MC pulled out), so I had to pull it apart and lube it up. Helped a lot. As a funny note, one day the spring in my truck broke when I applied the brake. The spring shot out, hit me in the place you don't want to be hit (No. Not in the eye...), and ricocheted out the open window. *Doh* Scared the bejeepers outta me at the time b/c I didn't know what hit me. Funny now, but not so funny at the time. :-) Hope this helps. Ohio Bill 1968 F100 360 2v 4 speed 1968 Torino GT 429 4v 5 speed >I've got one more question about my '79 F-350.

Glenn ====================================================== GLENN if your only going to use a HVLP 1 or so times why not just go rent one with the right compressor for it I Know i used to use them and the compressors they came with only put out about 15lbs or so if you need 40 lbs of pressure then you may as well use just a regular spray gun then gordon ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 13 Dec 2000 20:00:00 -0700 From: Dave Oneal <dave davesmonsterpit.com>
Subject: Re: Painting ??'s A good regulator and water separator is an absolute must. The compressor doesnt matter as long as you have a good regulator,10-20lbs is all you need for HVLP. 5hp is fine.
