Subject: Re: FTE 80-96 - Distributor

I did this with my '84 F150 with a 300, I converted it from a TFI-IV to a
Duraspark II. Out of a 78 Mercury Marquis with a 460, I got the ignition
coil and mounting bracket, ignition module, and all the the wiring harness
under the hood. If I remeber right, the section that plugs to the ignition
coil, and igniton module will completely unplug, but you will need the round
two prong connector that plugs into one side of the ingnition module, and
goes throuh the firewall. Then from my local autoparts store, I got a
distributor, cap and rotor button for a '78 300 six. I swapped out the
distributors, mounted the new coil, and ingniton module. Then from a
Chilton's manual I got the wiring diagrams for a '78 F150 and a '84 F150.
This told me where I need to make my new connections. It's been about a year
since I did this, and I don't remeber the exact wire colors or anything, but
there was about three solder connections that I had to make. When I was
changing it over, I use wire nuts for temporary connectors, then once I was
sure that I had it right, I used solder and heat shrink tubing to make
permanet connections. Then to finish the job, I added a piece of vaccum hose
from the distributor to the vaccum branch tree, and it worked great. I was
very pleased, the truck runs great. I hope this helps, but if you need more
information feel free to ask, I might even be able to dig around a find what
the wires are that need to be spliced.

What do I need to make this work assuming I can make it work? What wiring

Subject: FTE 80-96 - Bronco Drivetrain slack

Greetings -
I am experiencing a problem with my 88 Bronco. (302, E4OD)
I keep hearing a clunking noise that sounds like it is caused
by too much slack in the drivetrain. The clunking is evident
when the transmission starts to downshift. If I accelerate right
after the transmission downshifts, it usually clunks back into
gear. This is also apparent when in overdrive & I let off the gas.
When I step back on the gas, I hear (and feel) the clunk. The rear
end has been recently rebuilt. Could there be excessive slack in the
transfercase chain that is causing this? Anyone else experience this
kind of slack in the drivetrain? Please help, as I can't find the source
of this slack. Thanks!

Subject: FTE 80-96 - ZF and M5OD gearing...

Mark is right on with the gearing, minor differences I noted right out of
the Ford book (bible?);

Mazda M5OD:
3.39:1 (Reverse), 3.9:1, 2.25:1, 1.50:1, 1:1, 0.8:1

ZF Model S5-42 Close Ratio (Diesel):
3.79:1(Reverse), 4.14:1, 2.37:1, 1.42:1, 1:1, 0.77:1

ZF Model S5-42 Wide Ratio (Gasoline & Diesel):
5.24:1(Reverse), 5.72:1, 2.94:1, 1.61:1, 1:1, 0.76:1

According to my 1995 Ford Service manual, the model number S5-42 can be
described as S meaning Synchronized transmission, 5 designates the number of
forward gears, and 42 is the approximate maximum input torque capacity in
tens of lb-ft. So for this tranny, 42 implies it can accept 420 ft-lb of
input torque capacity.

The wide ratio is made available for all vehicles over 8500lbs GVW, all
engines except F-Super Duty Commercial Stripped Chassis w/diesel. The close
ratio is for 7.3L diesel engines and GVW over 8500lbs.

I know the fast idle is normal. In fact, I want it to fast idle when I
start it. The problem is, after the first start it will fast idle for a few
seconds, and then it chokes itself out. The RPMs drop and the
engine dies a couple seconds later. I have to press the gas to the
floor once again, release, and then hit the key in order to get it
started again. Then it'll fast idle like a normal vehicle should.

Thanks for the idea. I did notice the truck needs a pre-heater hose,
that might have a little something to do with it. I will also try
replacing the vacuum lines this weekend. I don't know if it's been
done, and who knows, some might be cracked, etc. I'll give that a
shot this weekend and see how it does the following week.

I'm looking for more suggestions to try. Thanks.

If it is the rear seal, it means dropping your oil pan to replace. You will
probably have to loosen the engine mounts and raise the engine and pull the
pan. However, check the valve cover gasket. It may be leaking and running
down the back of the engine.

Hey, Slik-
Have you done this on the I-6 engine before (drop the pan and replace the
seal)? I have not done it yet, but my engine neds it. I read through my
shop manual and it implied that you had to drop the transmission and pull
the flywheel. When you do that, then the oil seal just pries out and you
tap the new one in. I have not done it myself, though, so I was wondering
if you had. Thanks!

From: "ken haley"
Subject: Re: FTE 80-96 - rear engine seal

Okay, folks, a quick explanation of rear main seals:

There are 2 types of rear main seals: 1-piece and 2-piece.

1-piece seals can only be replaced by removing the flywheel or flexplate,
whichever the vehicle is equipped with. Of course, the tranny and case must
come off to do so.

2-piece seals do not require dropping the tranny, case, flywheel, etc.
Instead, you drop the oil pan, loosen the main bearing caps, and hope you
can get the oil pan resealed, which requires more sealing surface prep than
most people are willing to do while stuck under a truck with all that oil
dripping and such.

Either way, it's a pain in the beegeezus, so if it isn't too bad, most folks
just live with it. Of course, those of us who drive trucks without all the
bells and whistles can pull the engine, change the seal (1-piece), and have
it all back together in about 2 hours. The old seal pries out with a
screwdriver quite easily. Ford tool number T82L-6701-A is used to install a
1-piece seal, or an appropriately machined piece polyurethane and a rubber
hammer, which is what I use.

I don't think either style of seal performs better than the other, but Ford
gets to sell you a tool if you go by the book replacing the 1-piece.

Good luck!
Ken

I replaced the rear seal on my '93 F150 (the shop manual told me to refer to
the I-6 Seal placement) It is a one piece seal. Drain and remove the
tranny, remove the flywheel, and you are there. I used a scratch awl to
poke 2 holes in the old seal and a large screw driver to pry it out, DO NOT
use just a screw drive as you will knick the mating surface. Took me about
two days and about $50 bucks (seal, trans fluid 16qts., tanny filter, and
oil and filter) to complete the job. The Haynes repair manual is really
clear on the steps check it out.

Subject: Re: FTE 80-96 - rear engine seal

You shouldn't have to pull the flywheel. The rear seal sits on the oil pan
at the bottom of the crank shaft. Once the oil pan is removed, you need to
pull it out and clean out the area where the gasket was. Then get a one
piece pan and seal gasket and replace everything. I've done it on my 351W
(new engine, but had to replace the oil pan), but not on the 300.
