Subject: Re: Engine won't start Date: Fri, 26 Jan 2001 20:47:37 -0800 Did you place the plug wires on the distributor in the right order and direction. Some dizies turn clockwise, some counter-clockwise. I'm not meaning to sound mean here, I did it once on a buddy's rig. He and I rebuilt the 302, put all fresh parts in it, and installed the plug wires in the proper firing order, but for a dizzy that runs clockwise (all of them I'd worked on before did). Well, many hours into the night later we took another look at the motor manual, and realize the 302 dizzy turns counter-clockwise. DoH! Hope this helps.

Subject: [61-79-list] Engine won't start Hello. I have been rebuilding my 78 Bronco, and went to start it today. It will crank just fine, but it will not run. I checked for spark at the coil, and this was fine. I then checked at the plugs. There was spark, but not as often as I expected. The fuel pump and lines are new, so I doubt this is a problem. I am still running the stock ignition system from my 78 Bronco. The engine is a 460 from an 86 F-250, and the starter is also from the Bronco. A couple of times, it sounded as if the starter was being kicked backwards when I released the key.

Subject: NOS Truck Parts on EBAY Hi All! As a mental note, please watch your bidding carefully when buying on EBAY. I'm like the rest of you and need to save every penny I can when restoring my old Fords. But there is a couple of sellars on ebay that is getting prices higher than Ford's Retail price for currently available items! They hope that most people will believe that a 30 year old part has long since been made obsolete. As I have preched to fellow FTE members before, this is not always the case!! Ford still offers FAR more parts for there 60`s & 70`s F-Series Trucks than they do any of their Cars from these days. For example: In the past six weeks I have watched one sellar offer an NOS Windshield Washer Reservor for the 68-70 F-Series TWO times. And both times he sold these for over $45!!!! Folks, this item is still available from your local Ford dealer. Have them order part number C8TZ-17618A. Current retail price is $29.28 and for those of you with inside connections the Dealer Cost is $17.57 . Many of the ebay auctions list the Ford Part number. Take this number and call your local dealer for current pricing if it is still available. The partsman will love you for having the number already!! Happy Shopping!

Subject: Re: Engine won't start Date: Sat, 27 Jan 2001 00:22:50 -0800 Ok, the bronco probably came with the 3 pole starter but you should be using the 4 pole with the solenoid on it. Bolts on the same way and hooks up with one wire just like the other one but has more torque. You may have fried the starter trying to start it. The 351m/400 takes the same dizzy as the 460 but the springs and other parts are somewhat different so a dizzy from a 460 is better but that won't prevent it from starting, just won't have the pep it should. Firing order is counter clockwise as you look down on the dizzy as was pointed out and Number one cylinder is on the passenger side. Ford numbers are sequential per side so 1-4 is on passenger side etc., in case you weren't aware of that. New lines don't necessarily mean fuel is getting through. I'd still make sure you are getting plenty of juice at the carb the old fashioned way by pulling the line and running it into a can. 460's are typically cold blooded so don't be afraid to get some gas into it. You can dump nearly a pint of fuel in the carb at a time and it will just drink it up :-) I've had good luck with the cheap brand of hot shot too but have been told by experts (dirt track racers) that too much will blow the heads off and just got over an incident where I actually did flood an engine and no amount of cranking would dry it out and hot shot didn't work either....I had to actually pull the plugs, blast them, gap them and put them back in before it would start and it started right up then :-) (that one had me going cuz I'm used to them drying out quicker) Nothing else occurs to me right now, hope this helps :-) -- Happily Retired (but broke) Michigan Pot Hole Jumping, 78 Bronco Loving, Gary -- > The engine is a 460 from an 86 F-250, and the starter is also from the > Bronco.

Subject: Re: Hydraulic lifts Date: Sat, 27 Jan 2001 00:35:07 -0800 Azie, Azie, Azie, I would never do such a thing as that :-) I'm thinking in terms of something close to the ground to lift axles etc. so I don't have to drag them and tear up the lawn :-) I have a "Real" hydraulic lift, remember?:-) (and it has mechanical safety built into it :-)) Even chain is not safe to work under (and we all do that I'm sure) so invest in some jack stands and stay out from under those chain falls :-) I've taken lots of chances in my life and never had a serious problem but I have always been aware of these things and taken them into account so didn't put myself in harms way in the "Normal" situations like these......I just pull 80' barns down on myself because I didn't have quite enough chain....stuff like that :-) Dropped a full stake truck bed on myself one day too but that's another story:-) (missed me but sheared my disk grinder right in half, clean as a razor:-)) Before I knew any better and before I had actually seen one collapse I used concrete and even cinder blocks (didn't have any money for tools in those days) but even then I used wood to pad them to prevent stress fractures from sharp metal contact with the blocks. Got away with it but chills run down my spine now every time I see anyone doing that. I saw a 4x4 up on 4 similar blocks about 3' off the ground a guy was working on in his yard....just cringed every time I drove by. -- Happily Retired (but broke) Michigan Pot Hole Jumping, 78 Bronco Loving, Gary -- > I'm sure both of you know this, but please always prop the > vehicle with something > strong enough to hold it up prior to getting underneath it and > wrenching on it. > > Azie Magnusson > Ardmore, Al. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 27 Jan 2001 00:56:35 -0500 From: Dan Herrmann <herrmann in-motion.net>
Subject: Re: NOS Truck Parts on EBAY Hello Again! Just noticed another auction running now very similar to the example I gave earlier. The sellar has up for bids a NOS Winshield Washer Reservor for the 71-79 F-series trucks and many Bronco's. His starting bid is $22.00 . You can order part number D1TZ-17618B from your local dealer and pay a Retail price of $22.67 with no additional freight charges added. If you have the dealer connection then their cost is only $13.60 . FYI! Take Care!

Subject: Header problems Date: Fri, 26 Jan 2001 23:24:25 -0800 Hello, I am new to your list, and somewhat to the whole world of restoring an old pick-up to. I have recently purchased a truck that was being restored, but not finished. It is a '78 F150 4x4, 400 motor, 351 heads, C6 trans, posi rear-end with 4:11 gears. My current problem is this; the guy I bought it from had some headers that were professionally modified to fit the cleveland heads, but when I put them on it doesn't look like there will be enough room to have a "y" pipe made to go from the headers back to the single exhaust. The reason is that the headers end to closely to the cross-member. He did also give me the stock heads & headers, so my question is this: does anyone make "block huggers" headers for a 78 F150 4x4? I have not found any luck finding any so far. Any suggestions or help from people with experience would be greatly appreciated. -Jake Jake Kinnison jake airjunky.com

If it has stock exhaust, I don't think they can do a thing to the truck. If a car or truck will pass state inspection and has plates, and doesn't violate any other restrictive covenants (such as parking a truck/boat on the street, or the truck has to go into the garage) then they can't decide to enforce a stricter standard. This sounds like a questionable standard anyway - no loud vehicles - do they have a decibel standard? If not, I think that whole covenant could be successfully challenged. A more important question is why did they buy the house if they knew this would be a problem? Did they not read the covenants before purchase?

If a certain county has enough 'pollution days' then they have to implement plans to reduce pollution. One of the first things they do is start testing cars for emissions. Here in NC, there are about 10 counties that have emissions testing, the rest don't. The bad news is our county was only 2 days away from being forced to test last year. The even stupider part is that our country measuring station is in the far western part of the county, on a strip that sticks out into the next county, and the prevailing wind is from the south. So we are eventually going to be tested because the county to the southwest of us has pollution problems. Incidentally this is the county that contains the city of Goldsboro and Semour Johnson AFB (Gee I wonder where the pollution comes from.)

Clark, which is >>where Vegas, and I think Washoe which is around Reno. That is accurrate,we have yearly test here in Washoe county,but there are counties without tests less than 20 miles away. In these out lying areas you can have a wrecking yard, 10 horses ,chickens ,goats and whatever else in your yard if you like. The property prices,taxes and goverment service level is lower in these areas. In Washoe county you are required to have any vehicle that is not registered or is incomplete behind a fence or in a building.This ordinance is selectively enforced,usually after a complaint. What happens is someone will have a full blown wrecking yard in their front yard and others in the area may have a car or two in the yard.Some one complains about the wrecking yard,the Sheriff shows up and to be "fair" everyone in the area with a violation is cited. In the Reno city limits the rules are the same plus no vehicle can be parked in the street that for more than 48 hours.This ordinance is also selectively enforced. I have a substantial investment investment in my home and hope to make some money on it down the road,sell it and move into the country and retire.I like zoning regs.They help protect my investment. Let's say bowtie Billy moves in next door and fills his yard with wrecked che*ies. Then m*par Marv moves in acress from me and fills his yard with wrecked dod*ges. Let's just say the actions of Marv and Billy lower my property value by $20.000 At what point does Billy's and Marv's private property rights over ride mine? BTW Reno is a beautiful area and has many car events including Hot August Nights and weekly cruises and numerous Poker Runs etc. There is also ample 4x4 areas for every thing from the Rubicon to desert racing within a 2 hour drive. We have a paved oval track .a dirt oval and a drag srip all with a 1 1/2 hour drive. We have the National Automobile Museum and Summit's west coast distribution/retail center in the city limits.We usually have clean air,good water,and a beutiful view of the Sierras.

Did you ever notice how custom stuff is easier to find for new trucks than it is for old trucks? What are you going to find 10 years from now? There is always someone who buys a customized truck and wants it put back to all original. You may have to look hard for a buyer, but I would try to sell the parts first. Next I would give them to some one who would likely use them before I would put them in a dumpster. No comment on Ebay. -- John jlagrone ford-trucks.com <]:-) <]:-)<]:-)<]:-)<]:-)<]:-)

Another good example Tom! All it takes is two people despirate for the same item & willing to pay whatever they have to to get it and you have a bidding war! I'm just suggesting that people check the Ford number that is usually in the discription of the part and call their dealer for availabilty & price. Most people are surprised to learn that Ford still makes the item. Dan Herrmann ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 27 Jan 2001 19:33:05 -0500 From: Dan Herrmann <herrmann in-motion.net>

BTW, another example is a set of NOS 65/66 Ford Parking Light Lens currently on ebay with a starting price of $45.00 . You think "no-way does Ford still have 35 year old lenes available", Think-Again Folks! Order Part Number C5TZ-13208A from your dealer and you can get them all day long for $16.16 each!! (Dealer cost is 10.67). So look sharp! Dan ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 27 Jan 2001 19:41:38 -0500 From: Dan Herrmann <herrmann in-motion.net>
Subject: Re: [61-79-list]NOS Truck Parts on EBAY Chris, this has to be up to you and your future plans for the truck. On the other hand, original Ford truck parts and NOS parts sell very well on ebay. It is a good way to dispose of them items you'll never need. And I have seen an original 300 Intake sell for over $100 on ebay before. Good Luck!

Subject: Re: Won't start Date: Sat, 27 Jan 2001 20:22:47 -0800 An interesting point....I checked a battery that I had been keeping charged (I thought) on the shelf before throwing it in the bronco and it read 12.26v which is usually a good sign for a battery that has been sitting but on the first click of the key I got absolutely no response. Checked it again and got 10v which obviously wasn't right either so I charged it up. Interestingly enough though, when I jumpped it the battery acted like it had considerable charge in it so the cables may have been at fault but I just found the Voltage drop on firt hit to be rather incredible :-) Typically you can charge them and immediately take a reading and it will be over 13v but after letting it sit for 1/2 hour it will come back down to 12---v and if you short it momentarily it will come down right away. It's like there's a static residual of some kind in there :-) When I checked a friend's battery that would not crank but showed some signes of presence I got 4v. After charging it showed 12+ and during engine run it showed 14.4v or so. I've checked a lot of them but that one (first mentioned above) was a little stange to me :-) I wasn't very scientific about it so it could just be a cable thing, not sure :-) It's a new batter but that doesn't mean anything as we all well know :-) -- Happily Retired (but broke) Michigan Pot Hole Jumping, 78 Bronco Loving, Gary -- > Usually a sign of poor connections or a bad starter.
