What I've seen over the years is that the person who remembers your name is
one who is genuinely interested in the person, rather than the conversation
you had Or.....he has a job in which it pays well to remember names so he
can impress customers later and generate more sales.  In my experience both
are salesmen.  On the one hand selling God's Kingdom and on the other hand
cars or whatever.  It always amazes me when I go to an assembly of ours and
one of the Circuit Overseers remembers my name having only met me once 2
years ago etc..  It always makes me feel ashamed that I can't remember his
so I am trying to develope a system to help me do that, just for my own
satisfaction if nothing else :-)

It really is a sign that you have respect for a person when you remember his
name.  I know I always feel respected when someone remembers mine :-).  If I
make it to PF this year I plan to work very hard at this in case I meet them
again or have an opportunity to chat on a list etc..  To me, meeting people
at the shows is the highlight because they always have something interesting
to add to my knowledge base and because I enjoy meeting and talking with
people.

Subject: Dual exhaust on inline six


I know some one here has done this before, putting the newer style dual exhaust
manifolds on a 300 six. I was wondering how the pipes are run from the manifolds
out to the rear of the truck especially clearing the starter. I am putting a
Fuel injected 300 out of a newer truck into my 78' 2wd and want to know if I
should use the stock manifolds or if i should look into a set of headers. If
some one has some good pitures or something could you send them my way.

Thanks,
David Wild


I would also like to add that this list has helped me in many ways such as finding
people in my area with things I have needed. Without this I would have no one
to ask these kind of questions. (Everyone around here thinks I'm crazy for putting
my time into this old truck). But you guy's give me hope and confirm that I
am not completely nuts. My thanks goes out to the admin Mr. Ken Payne, without
this site I would not be exposed to this kind of knowledge, and believe me I
need all the help I can get

Keep up the good work.

Sounds exactly like my Henry. Many times my problem can be attributed to
variances in the voltage regulator for the gauge cluster (EVR?). Mine is the
original.

I have one. The truck runs colder during the cooler times of the year, just
takes longer to reach the top of the gauge when idling with the air
conditioner running.

I'm thinking this is the only recourse left. I have the stock shroud, but an
after market ss flex fan. I just don't pull enough air at idle. If you have
the stock fan and clutch, look for a stock shroud, then consider replacing
the fan clutch. The its electric fans. Keep us posted as you try things.

Gentlemen, this is a scary subject!  A nurse once told me that the reason
mechanics don't get infections is because even bacteria can't live in grease
and oil but we know that is not quite true which is why I keep a box of Real
Bandaids in my shop, tool box, bathroom and anywhere I am working so they
are handy.  I always get the cloth ones as they stay on the best.  Recently
I tried some of that synthetic skin on my nose where my glasses were driving
me nuts and, while it has a place, that was not it :-(  Regular cloth tape
worked the best but who wants to walk around in the store with tape all over
his nose.....

Super glue works where it doesn't have to cover a large area, to hold the
skin together etc. but is very hard and brittle so won't flex at all.  This
is a good idea but I haven't actually tried it yet.  I find that as I get
older I don't cut myself as much as I used to :-)

Some shop degreasers and cleaners have chemicals in them which are extremely
toxic when they find a way into the blood stream so I would sincerely
recommend that you don't use them to clean wounds, that's what soap and
peroxide are for.  I realize that there is a lot of sillyness going on here
but remember that there are teenagers listening in here too.  I'm sorry to
be such a wet blanket but I just go back from the hospital with my wife who
had an Arterial Gram today due to Arterial blockage in her brain and
cleanliness was right up there in my mind :-)  She survived the procedure
with no stroke symptoms and will be going on blood thinners so again the
talk of cuts raised my hair a tad.

Seriously, we've all used silly stuff to stop a cut from bleeding so we
could keep working but it only takes a few minutes to clean it properly and
put a decent bandage on it.  I knew a fellow once who seemed to be as
healthy as any of us that got a cut working on his truck and wound up with a
serious infection, blood poisoning that ran up his arm and had to be
treated.  The doctor told him that it could have resulted in gangreen if not
treated quickly.

Seems like I've seen this too.  You'd think the fire would burn it out but
apparently it doesn't.  If I remember correctly my 460 forged pistons came
with an arrow either embossed or stamped into the head of the piston.  I
would not stamp the number very close to the edge near the ring groove since
that is the thinnest area and prone to get hotter than other areas but if
you sand the burrs off I don't think there would be a problem with marking
them that way.  I've seen factory stamps in them before but typically they
are shallow and the characters are large enough that there are no thin areas
of the character to get hot in that case.  Most cheap stamps would leave
some thin areas in the number which could, if too deep cause them to over
heat and cause detonation so care in that regard is certainly recommended
:-)  Care in actually stamping them is also recommended of course so you
don't damage the top land or skirt etc..

Subject: Re: Torque of outer nut on D60
Date: Tue, 6 Mar 2001 19:53:10 -0800


The one I remember only locked the top one as I recall and the washer is,
indeed, keyed to the spindle as you say which is what prevents the outer nut
from moving.  Typically this is enough to prevent loosening since the torque
locks all three parts together and even if they should loosen up a tad the
washer keeps them pretty close to the original position so bearing preload
isn't affected too much but this should never happen if you torque them
properly and bend the tabs and the key is in good condition on the tab
washer.  On the 44's only the torque keeps the outer nut in place, the inner
nut is locked by a pin in a keyed spacer which is, again, sandwiched between
two nuts.  In that case though the torque is relatively high, about 80# as I
recall.

Really, the friction between the three parts is what does virtually all the
work and the pin or tab is only there as a precaution to prevent the wheel
coming off.....just in case :-)  This is a different strategy from the
typical front spindle of a car or 2wd truck which is just a tad over finger
tight and held loosely with a cup and cotter pin.  Full floating axles can't
be done that way because you can't run a cotter pin through the spindle tube
so the other method is used.  They also are typically subjected to greater
forces so if the nuts were left loose more wear would take place in the
threads of the spindle and nut eventually causing them to fail.

Grinding wheels which can be subjected to some serious torque when hard
plunge grinding operations are done only have one nut and one keyed washer
and there is no other retaining or safety device and the torque is much less
on the nut than on a dana 44.  The wheel is not keyed so could turn if not
tight enough but they seem to hang in there pretty well with nothing but
friction to hold them.  The keyed washer prevents either the nut or the
wheel from moving in relation to the washer using only friction in both
cases.

I'm stating the principles as I understand them, not arguing with anyone's
interpretation or opinion and not stating any book explainations here either
so please accept it as my "Opinion" :-)

Ever notice how your hand can be over your stomach when layin under your

Cool, now that it drives the rest is on a convienence basis.

> The truck occasionally runs a little on the hot side.
<snip>

With what you have said I would first try to find a stock fan shroud that
fits the radiator and position the fan properly in it.  I remember hearing
that the best position of the fan to shroud is with the shroud covering half
the thickness of the pitch of the fan.  IE half the fan in and half out.  It
seems reasonable that if the fan is not inside the shroud to some extent
that the airflow created by the fad could be moving around the radiator.  Or
the fan could just be churning up the air under the hood without really
moving it.  If you do decide to use spacers on the radiator be sure to use
something to block the gaps around the perimeter of the radiator.  You want
to force the air throught the core and not allow it to go around the edges.

After that (or maybe even before) I would probably get a good mechanical
temperature guage and verify that the truck is running hot.  It could be the
instrument voltage regulator is causing too much current to flow and forcing
a false hot reading.

A third thing to try is have the radiator rodded out.  If you pull the
radiator yourself should be able to get it done for less than $50.

A 160 degree thermostat would probably be my last choice.  At best it's a
bandaid to mask a real problem.

<snip>

Check all your grounds.  Take the connections apart and make sure they are
clean.  The other thing to check would be the supply wire.  There should be
an orange (it is on my 76) wire about 12 or 14 guage wire that supplies 12V
for the rest of the truck.  Look for it on the passenger side fender.  I
can't remember where exactly it connects but I think it is on the battery
side of the starter solenoid.  There is also a plug connection under the
passenger side of the dash.  Make sure these connections are clean and
solid.

<snip>

Shouldn't be too hard.  The switch unscrews from the jamb and the wire comes
out with it.  The shop manual shows twisting the wire before installing the
switch so that when it is screwed into place it unwinds.  Just unscrew the
switch, pull the wires off it, plug in the new switch and reinstall.  There
are several sources. Try Ford also LMC Truck, Obsolete Ford, AutoKrafters.

<snip>

If the AC works well you might want to try to pull it out as a closed
system.  We wouldn't want to release and of that 'BAAAAAD' R-12 to the
atmosphere would we.  You would need to pull the condensor, pump, drier, and
evaporator as one unit.  The worst par is you would probably have to either
cut it out of the radiator support or pull the support with the rest of the
system.  You would also need the air box under the dash and under the hood.
If you did swap the dash then the controls would already be in place.

Despite having spent the past 3 days extricating a cat from the ceiling in
the basement of my new house (which I've finally cat-proofed), I still
think cats are good pets to have. Not only do they require far less
maintenance than a dog, they are also great lazy pets. Whereas the dog has
to be let outside, taken for walks, etc., the cat will be content to lie on
the couch with you all weekend while you watch all the automotive shows on
TNN.

Plus, a dog is not going to keep squirrels and other vermin out of your
garage! Very irritating to have a squirrel nesting inside your truck...at
least the little bugger didn't chew up the seat...

I really ought to get outside and fix my garage door opener this
week...it'll be a little awkward wrestling an engine in through the side
door. My 4x4 is making all sorts of nasty noises while driving on the
highway...the motor will be dead by summer I thinks...

to calm your nerves when ya need em too, and if all else fails, they taste
like Chicken!  Anyone wanna swap recipees?

Dont hold me to it, but I seem to remember something about Super Glue being
origionally designed to replace sutuers (stiches) in operations, etc (medical
type stuff). Cant remember why, but it didnt work quite as well as they
wanted. But yes, it does work well on Fords. Even put a few Bomber parts
togather during my service days. Wonderfull Stuff it is!

Correct Azzie!  There is absolutley no way that the outer nut can add to the
torque, or pressure if you will, to the wheel bearings.  I thought I read
somewhere on the list that someone said that the outer nut affected bearing
pre-load.  If this was said on this list, I cant wait for your disertation
explaining this phenomenon:)))

Can someboby explain to me what exactly club FTE is all about?  Other than a
Tshirt, what is its function?  I was trying to donate to that #$*&  pay pal
earlier with no luck.  If I can give the same amount of money and get
something in return....Hmm, Yea, I'm greedy. :)

Don't really like to agree with this one, but I'm afraid I must. The
promotion of the FTE memberships, donations and shopping at the online store
is the answer, at least so far from what I see.

Charging a fee for being on the listserv-style discussion list, I think
would kill it very quickly.

        No, no, no, outside, bottom edge of door. It concentrates the pain
in a long & narrow spot and makes for an unusual lump.
