Subject: Re: Virus protection Date: Mon, 15 Jan 2001 17:51:32 -0800 Yes that is an interesting test but it really has little to do with the virus issue except that there are "viruses" out there that open your computer up to attack. The bottom line on this particular virus that Ken is referring to is that if someone is <insert your favorite adjective here> enough to actually open up a .exe file that comes from someone with the name hahaha sexyfun.net then
they deserve whatever they get. Yes I know it is sometimes attached as a .scr file but the issue is the same. Unfortunately this virus also tries to self replicate by sending itself to others in the infected person's address book. Since this is a very unsophisticated virus which always uses the same name, a very simple fix is to add the above email address to your Blocked Senders list and you will never receive the virus again... /// Friends help you move...Real friends help you move bodies \\ ----- Original Message ----- From: "Greg" <greg gregster.com>

Subject: Exhaust Gaskets Date: Mon, 15 Jan 2001 21:54:45 -0500 My rebuilt 400 sounds pretty ragged, due to major exhaust leaks between both ex manifolds and the Y-pipe. My friend thinks it sounds great, and that I should keep it that way. Not so sure- I picked up 2 "donut" style gaskets at the auto store today to try and plug the leak. Well, they don't fit. The donuts have a taper on both sides- the taper seats into the flared pipe nicely, but just butts against the manifold- won't go in or on at all. I guess these were the wrong parts for my '77 351M, although that's what their computer said would fit. Not sure which way to go now..... I'm positive there were no gaskets, or pieces of gasket, on these connections when I took out the engine for rebuild. I think some kind of flat ring style might work, or maybe a big O ring?

Subject: Seat nuts Date: Mon, 15 Jan 2001 23:47:39 -0500 Not to seam too simple, but.........if you have a hole in body support and can put the nut on a socket (maybe with tissue stuck in it to keep out to edge), why can't you just hold it up there with extension and handle while someone tightens the bolt from above.

Just out of curiosity, have any of you guys with decent original, maybe low mileage 67-72's come across a computer or broadcast sheet in your trucks? In all the trucks I've looked at or scoured in the wreckers I've only found one legible complete one in a 72; tucked into the seat springs. I've also come across a couple of 68's locally that have the assembly date stamped on the upper left front of the cowl, above the m/c. I'm wondering if this continued into 69 or beyond.

Subject: engine opinions Date: Tue, 16 Jan 2001 09:13:56 -0500 I finally found it. Ran across a 70 camper special this weekend. The trunk has been sitting for a couple of years. The people just wanted it out of their yard, and I was happy to oblige for $300. I live in Ga, so rust isn't a big problem, and this one is better than usual. I haven't found any rust through, cab mounts and floor pans are all good, the bed still has paint on the floor, just surface rust. The interior is perfect. A lucky find. The engine blew a head gasket, and is the reason it was parked. I pulled the heads to see what kind of shape the bottom end was in. The #5,6 cyl are rusted bad, and the intake and crank case have water in them. I figure the motor is junk, and will part out what I can. Here's my dilemma. The motor in the truck is a 360, and I have a 360 out of a parts truck that is suppose to run, I also have a 460/c6 out of another truck that I drove before parting out the truck, and it runs good, but needs rebuilt, or I have thought about putting in a 390.

Subject: Re: engine opinions Date: Tue, 16 Jan 2001 07:28:41 -0700 Awesome deal on the truck man!! On the engine, I don't think it matters. I don't think there is going to be a noticeable difference between the 360 and 390. Between a 390 and 460 it might be noticeable but not substantial. I have a friend with a 360 in his pickup and I have a 390, no difference that I can tell. I would say stick with what you got...if you know the 460 is a runner and will be an easy rebuild just stay with that. Just my opinion.

I had 1/2 nuts (same size as the front bolts so install/removal would be simpler) welded to 1 1/2" x 6" pieces of 1/4" steel and then bolted the plates to the floor and then welded the plates to the floor as well. Ugly? Yes. Carpet is good. Overkill? Not when it comes to my family's safety... -----Original Message----- From: Hogan, Tom (Portland) [mailto:Tom.Hogan kla-tencor.com]

What do you all think? 360,390,460? > > jeff ~~~~~~~~~ Sounds like you picked up on a truck worth restoring. 1) If you're on a tight budget, then any FE 352/360 will get you down the road. 2) If you've got money to burn and don't mind doing some extra work, then the 460 would be the premium option. 3) If options #1 or #2 don't apply, then I'd suggest building a 390 with cast iron 4V intake, 600 CFM carb with vacuum secondaries, 9:1 compression pistons, 428 cam/hydraulic lifters, and headers.

If you need a running truck for the least cost I would put the running 360 to get going. Obviously it is a bolt in. Might be nice to check out the 'new' motor before you go to that effort. Then if you want more power you might want to rebuild the old motor to 390 specs. I would expect the head and block can be salvaged and you can get a 390 crank kit from PAW pretty reasonable.

Subject: Re: RamAssist PS problems I would look at the valve. Its pretty simple (if you have the bendix type) take the three bolts that hold it together out and it comes apart. there is a spring on one end, take the nut off of it and it will come in 3 pieces, in the center piece is the valve, take it out and see whats in there, it could just be dirty. I got a kit and rebuilt mine and it worked a lot better. I have never looked at the ram, but I know that NAPA can get rebuilt ones. All the hoses are pressure except the one that goes from the valve to the back of the pump, so I doubt that they are collapsing. while you got the valve apart, jack up the front and turn the tires both ways to make sure fluid comes out both lines, maybe even cycle it back and forth to get all that old nasty fluid out. Holler if I missed anything. At 04:47 PM 1/16/2001 -0500, you wrote: >Hey everyone, > >Im havin a lil trouble with dads 75 F-250 4x4.

Subject: Re: Temp & Oil Sender Wiring Date: Tue, 16 Jan 2001 18:50:09 -0600 Kourtney, please forgive the delay-I meant to dig this out last week. I happen to have the complete harness. Apparently you only have 1/3 of it. The harness consists of three wires. Coil, temp sending unit, and oil pressure sending unit. Follow your coil wire through the firewall to a flat three prong connector about five inches inside the cab. My harness has two male plugs and one female. The female plug is for the coil. That wire is red with a white stripe. The middle plug, male, is for the oil sending unit. It's white with a red stripe. And the outside male plug is for the temp sending unit. It's red with a green stripe. Hope this helps. I'm in the process of re-installing the factory guages and knew I'd need this harness, so I grabbed it at my local salvage yard.
