Ken
I mailed you $10.00 about 2 months ago.
My name did not appear on this list nor
did I receive the stickers. Just to let you
know. Thanks,

Subject: V8 firing order, book to read

I read a book called, appropriately enough, Truck - about a guy
fixing up an old truck. (Touted as the Zen and the Art of Motorcycle
Maintenance for old trucks.) In the book the guy tore apart and
rebuilt the engine, put everything together, fired it up. No go. I
think he had same symptoms as you. He remembered that he'd had
difficulty installing, I believe, the cam - getting the valves up in
the correct position, etc.

Someone already mentioned that the cap may have been installed
180degress off - but maybe not. Maybe the cap was installed
incorrectly and the cam is off 180deg. The other reply mentioned you
might just start swapping the wires at the cap. Try advancing them
all four spaces each, and keep the regular order of course.

And as for that book - in case someone doesn't know about it:

TRUCK: On Rebuilding a Worn-Out Pickup, and Other Post-Technological
Adventures.

I really doubt you can buy it but your local library should be able
to borrow it from a library that owns it. We call it Interlibrary
Loan.

Subject: More Power from 4.9L engine

Hi all, I am new to this list so please be gentle,
I have 1990 "E" truck with 4.9L 6cyl. engine that I like to do some
modifications to.
I have already purchased Clifford 264 hyd cam with springs & lifters for
this engine (not installed yet).
By phone call Clifford claim that, this cam and headers & ROM chips =
approx 35-50hp gain and better low rpm torque, true??
aa)
Does anyone have any experience with the Clifford stuff
bb)
Can anyone point me to any article, books, archive or other sources for
tech data on tuning 4.9L 6cyl. with EFI.??
cc)
Has anyone done turbo mod on 4.9L EFI engine?
dd)
Has anyone modified the 4.9L EFI engine for more power but still kept
the low rpm torque?

Subject: Cheap blower?

I think I read somewhere, motortrend I think, about a blower for smaller
engines (4cyl,3)
that was only around 800 dollars(this was when I had my jeep so I wasnt
paying much attention). I am going to look again but if anybody has any
info post it.

Subject: Ranger Temp

I have a 94 Ranger with 2.3 and most of the time the temp gauge doesn't
even make it to the N on NORMAL, but recently if I excellerate hard it
gets up to the O but soons as I let off of it it goes right back down!
Sometimes it just does it for no reason but not often. I realize that the
temp is not to high but why is it so erratic? Seems like something might
be going wrong but not sure, any suggestions? I was thinking about having
it hooked up to a computer and see if anything comes up(sensors) but my
engine light does not come on. I occasionally get an unburnt fuel smell
if I am climbing a hill...maybe have something to do with it! It does
have a few mods but were done before this started! Well thanks for any
help!
Chris

Subject: Replacing axel pivot bushings

I am replacing the axel pivot bushings (and the radius arm bushings) on
my 1980 F-150 2WD. Can anyone share with me your tricks or shortcuts to
easily get the axel pivot bushings out of the axels? Everything came
apart easily and I have tha axels out, but the old bushings do not want
to budge.

Thanks!
