David- I, personally, would not run a 195 deg. thermostat in this old of an engine, unless you need it in Minn. in the dead of winter to give you decent heat (and the engine would probably never see 195 degrees even then). You seem to have jumped from 195 way down to 160. Why not a 180 degree thermostat? That's what I run in my 1980 I-6 and it seems to like it. It should be warm enough for you in the winter and not too hot in the summer. I know the emmissions are reduced some with the hotter thermostat, but face it, this old of an engine was never going for any environmental awards, even when new. Why put the added stress from the higher temp on hoses, manifolds, oil, bearings, etc... Jim Cannon Houston, TX "A Ramblin' Wreck from Georgia Tech '29 Ford Model A Phaeton and a helluva' engineer!"

I have a 1967F150. It currently has a blown 302EFI. I have a 351 police cruiser engine with TBI. Everything is intact. I also have the puter. It am having trouble finding a 351 intake reasonably priced. I also realize that the injectors would have to be rearranged. Couldn't I just use the TBI that is on the engine if I disconnect the electric fuel injectors and just use the mechanical one already on the engine. This way I would only have to purchase an exhaust system and lubricants. The engine has a 4OD. should be able to adjust it to work in place of my old C6. Anybody have any feedback for me on this. Very much appreciated. http://www.ford-trucks.com//lc/lc.php?action=do&link=http://community.webtv.net/DBblueboy/DayBreakblueboyblue ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 03 Jul 2000 23:34:58 -0400 From: Ken Payne Subject: ADMIN: Web site updates The Picture Gallery on the web site has been updated.

A mech friend advised running the A/C once a week, needed or not, which we have pretty much done. Her car is 11 years old now and no maintenance yet and still works well. ------------------------------ From: "Dave Marshall" Subject: 1991 Aerostar Driving lights Date: Tue, 4 Jul 2000 09:17:53 -0400 Started the 1991 Aerostar yesterday. In Canada we have daytime driving lights. The lights normally come on whenever the ignition is turned on. This time they came on very dim. Turning the headlights on and off again, brought the driving lights up to the light level they should be. Drove the van for a couple of hours and now no driving lights at all. The fuse is fine. Headlights are fine. Any BTDT's that can point me in the right direction to getting these lights working again? Thanks Dave Marshall Owen Sound, Ontario, Canada ------------------------------ From: "Nelson Vasconcelos" Subject: AC hiss Update. Date: Tue, 4 Jul 2000 23:09:29 -0400 Just an update on my ac hiss problem. I've noticed that the loud hiss happens once in a while when either the ac or heat is on. I had the ac on the other day but it just wasn't very cool, at least not how it was before. Also, when I turned the radio down I could hear a clicking. When I got home I found out that It was the ac compressor clutch pulsing on...off...on...off. It sounds strange to me, as I can remember it only clicked once when you turned on and off the ac, It didn't pulse at all before. I'd appreciate any help...
