Subject: Re: Daytona 500 Date: Mon, 19 Feb 2001 17:33:54 -0800 I watched a news conference today with one of the physicians who worked on Earnhardt after the crash. The HANS device was brought up several times and the doctor said repeatedly that it was very doubtful as to whether the device would have saved his life. The human body is just not meant to sustain the G forces released in 180+ mph rapid deceleration regardless of any safety devices. Even if you are able to prevent the head from moving independently of the body, the internal organs, specifically the brain & heart, are moving at the same speed as the whole body. They don't like deceleration either and so the brain collides with the inside of the skull, the aorta is torn from the heart, etc. /// Friends help you move...Real friends help you move bodies \\ ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dennis Pearson" <dpearson ctc.edu>

Subject: I love junkyards I thought of you guys today, my first day cleaning out my friend's scrapyard before the land becomes a parking lot for a rapid transit station. In came a complete '78 250 with a dead 460 and lots of rust. I thought about the motor mounts and the Dana 60, but we were busy. The boss said we were taking no more cars unless it was a big tank. At the end of the day, the big tank came in, a '75 Merc wagon with a 78,000 mile 460, C6 and a/c. The motor ran perfectly. When I picked it up with the forklift to punch the tank I saw the shiny new transmission. It's enough to make you cry. Well, almost.

As you know we have had a few hot heads on the lists over the years and often they are incompetent and immature so tend to blame everyone else for the problems they have. Sounds like we may be seeing it again, eh? I once rebuilt the shock towers on a Brand X for a young......man which was not in especially good shape in the exterior paint dept but wasn't bad to look at. I charged him 1/10 what the job was worth and he had the gall to tell me he wouldn't pay because I scratched his freshly painted car. Turns out he was an Ex-Con who's family had a history of trouble makers even though his dad was a preacher. I knew there was no hope of winning such a battle over a few dollars so let it go but I spread the word that he was not to be trusted in business dealings. I'm not a fighter so I just let stuff like that slide but I do learn from mistakes like that. I only work for people I know pretty well now and either like them enough to do the job for free or trust them enough to feel secure that I will be paid :-) Fortunately, since I don't make my living that way, I am free to take that attitude :-) To be fair we can't expect a dealer to send the right parts if we don't give him the correct information either. I've seen this issue before as well but most dealers do make an effort to meet us at least part way in such instances so my hat's off to the honest dealers out there, keep up the good work, eh? :-) -- Happily Retired (but broke) Michigan Pot Hole Jumping, 78 Bronco Loving, Gary -- > I have received copies of emails from Tim Boyd in which Joe > was cussing him out, calling him names and making threats.

Mainly I'm looking at the intake manifold (4BBL). The engine apears to be a Y-block of some sort- (rear dist, ram's horn exhaust), but I know these larger trucks had some engines from the MEL family and I know nothing about these. I couldn't find the rating plate to identify the engine and I did not have the opportunity to look for casting numbers on the block. I did, however, get the casting number from the intake. It was C1TE 9125-C. My questions are: What type of motor would this be? Will the intake bolt up to my 292? << Somewhere back about the '57-'61 time frame there was a larger Y block in the Lincolns and maybe the larger engines for the Mercs also that was something like a 361cu in. Not sure that is exactly the cu in, but close. I do not know if those engines and the 272/292/312 are the same family or not, but if you can find someone with a '57 T'bird or Ford car intake for 4bbl they are better than the '56 and earlier.

Right again, but if you can find an Edelbrock 573 intake, I'd use that instead Dont buy an Edelbrock 257, the carbs in good condition are few and far between, I know this for a fact, as I have one as a paper weight, I guess I should mention Vintage Speed Equipment at this point.... www.vintagespeed.com The first image you'll see is a 573, I think, the 257 is a dual 4bbl small bolt pattern intake, which I think I'll turn into a blower intake.

That was other thing that was odd on it. Gary, All I know is that it had an F-600 badge on the side of the truck. I couldn't find anything to confirm this however since the only remaining markings on the drivers door jam was the metal VIN tag and I couldn't tell, from reading it, what it was. :-( Well thanks all for the quick education on these old Ford trucks.

Subject: Re: Now Old Ford ID (Was: I love junkyards...) Date: Tue, 20 Feb 2001 04:36:51 -0800 I know it's terrible but I haven't even done any skulking since I retired. We used to have an old truck yard here but the old man died and none of his offspring had any interest in it. He was a "Truck" enthusiast and didn't care if he made any money or not, he bought every truck he could find at auction and all the county trucks etc. but it's all gone now :-( That's where I got my 62 F-600 CO which I dearly miss. He had some really neat old trucks in there that he just kinda kept guard over :-) BTW, that button you mentioned was for the 2 speed rear end. Mine had one of those and they are really cool to play with. With a Clark it gives you 10 speeds but you have to know which is which because in some gears the axle takes it up and in others it goes down (has to do with the gear spacing in the tranny :-)). In case anyone is interested the way you shifted those is to hold the gas down to load the gears, press (or pull) the button and it would wind up a spring in the rear end to preload the shift fork and when you suddenly let off the gas the spring would do the shifting very fast so there was no grinding. If you didn't do it that way it would grind every time. Mine even came with instructions to that effect so I went out and practiced. It really worked too :-) When I first got mine it had been sitting for a long time and I had to remove the mechanism and clean it up after which it worked great:-) -- Happily Retired (but broke) Michigan Pot Hole Jumping, 78 Bronco Loving, Gary -- > First GaryBBB <gpeters3 lni.net> wrote:

Not to disagree but to add to... I seem to recall that the EGR valve can cause similar problems. -- John jlagrone ford-trucks.com <]:-) <]:-)<]:-)<]:-)<]:-)<]:-)

I didn't have a split fuel line after all. I drove Henry to my mother's and back to get a load of dirt on Sunday, a 110 mile round trip. He runs like his old self again. No more gasoline smell. I think he had had too much city life for too long. I think the Blue Oval is about to gain a convert. My son, who has always driven a chebby, is about to buy a very nice 92 Explorer if everything works out. -- John jlagrone ford-trucks.com <]:-) <]:-)<]:-)<]:-)<]:-)<]:-)

Subject: Re: Timing alignment Date: Tue, 20 Feb 2001 06:27:04 -0800 I remember my 70 montego with 250, I-6 would knock on anything less than Sunoco 260 back then. Stupid emissions junk anyway :-( They were desparate back then to outdo each other so put stuff on the market that wasn't acceptable. What it boiled down to was the engineers decided how each person would drive his vehicle and made sure it couldn't be driven any other way......sort of like modern billy bob programmers......:-( As long as you pretended that you were 120 years old and didn't have the energy to compress the gas pedal more than 1/16" at a time you would never hear it knock...... I pulled a 4000# horse trailer with mine at 80+ mph on the Eway.......I did trade it for a 68 F-100 with 352, 3 speed eventually though....they called it a trade "Down" :-))) I've never looked back since :-) -- Happily Retired (but broke) Michigan Pot Hole Jumping, 78 Bronco Loving, Gary -- > I didn't say it, but what I was thinking was running premium and advancing > it MORE! ------------------------------ From: "Garrett Nelson" <garrettnelson writeme.com>

Garrett, Before you saw it out, you need to compare a truck of the same cab design. In other words, don't compare a 66 to a 79. Another option might be to build a cover for the brace using some thin plywood or paneling, then covering that with carpet. If the brace is vital and you saw it out, you could wind up with a broken back glass. -- John jlagrone ford-trucks.com <]:-) <]:-)<]:-)<]:-)<]:-)<]:-)
