If this is the original engine in that car, it is probably a 351 Windsor,
and not a 351 Cleveland. According to my books, the last year Ford made
the 351C was 1972. I know a few Mustangs (and maybe Cougars and Torinos)
had left over 351Cs in 1973, but most 351s in cars from 1973-on were
Windsors, until the 351M came out in 1976. Interestingly, in their sales
literature, Ford referred to the 351M it used in some mid-70s passenger
cars as a 351 Cleveland, but it was not.

The easiest at-a-glance way to tell the difference between a Windsor and
a Cleveland (or 351M/400, which used the same head design as the
Cleveland) is to count the bolts on the valve cover or look at the shape
of the valve cover. The Windsor has 7 bolts on the valve cover and uses
the same style valve cover as the small block 289/302. The Cleveland
uses 8 bolts on the valve cover. Looking from above the head, the
Cleveland valve covers are square on the ends (rectangular overall),
where the small block (Windsor) valve covers are trapezoidal shaped
(narrower at the top -- toward the intake manifold).

This is a test. This is only a test. If this were an actual message, it
would show at least a little intelligence. I just signed onto FORDTRUCKS
and I wanted to let everyone know I'm here. I come from a long line of
FOMOCO drivers and I'm helping my 16 year old son restore his first car, a
65 Falcon convertible. I am working on my own 63 Econoline PU. Are there
any other Econoliners out there??? I'm in Baldwin, IL., just 45 miles SSE
of St. Louis. Does anyone know what happened to the Econo Club? One day I
was a member, the next day they disappeared. Happy motoring

to my knowledge the 351M and 400 motor perches work with the 385 series =
motors by making or buying the mounts from a company like L&L. on some =
perches the motor still sits a little high (on my 77 it does). the =
351M-400 perches are the only ones that work as far as i know.

Regular 87 octane normally runs around $1.15. Near where I work there is a
Diamond Shamrock and a Race Track gas station that have a price war almost
every month. Regular 87 can get as low as $0.97 a gallon and 93/94 octane
can get down to $1.15.

No special parts listed as far as I see, just a stock carb... Some of the
earlier models (70 - 72) used a two stage power valve tho.

It worked. I changed the spring from the plain to the brown and it cured
my problem. Works great. Now all I need to do is get to the junk yard and
get a newsed set of 3.50:1 gears for my truck. Then I need to find the 4
speed OD manual transmission that came in the '85 F150.

Thanks again!

Mike

Now if we can figure out the other guys problem...

another way to tell if it is a Clevland is look at the fuel pump. are the
mounting bolts on the top & bottom (Cleveland) or on either side of the
pump (Windsor).

Fellas,

I am a weekend warrior mechanic that really likes to buy tools. Last =
week I purchased a Snap On MT - 405 Gas Analyzer. The analyzer has an =
analog needle type indicator that reads CO and CO2 amounts. The exhaust =
pickup portion is a red box that is attached to the analyzer by a 25' =
cord. The box has an arrow on it that says up and has a plastic tube =
that contains what looks like desiccant. =20

I just had two vehicles emission tested today and then hooked up my =
meter and compared the results. Unfortunately, the meter isn't =
accurate. I assume that the contents in the plastic tube needs to be =
replaced. Does anyone have experience with this tool. If so could you =
e-mail me with suggestions. =20

I apologize for the non Ford content. =20

And what planet are you all from and where can I get an application. I
just saw a price of $1.38 and thought I am getting a good deal. True
this is at a name brand station, it was a little cheaper at the watered
down place in town. I haven't seen gas prices in the 1.20's for about 2
years now, or has it been three, and I am talking about 87 octane. Just
as a side not Deisel #2 is now up to $1.54 a gallon.

Okay...
Hard to find an easy answer to my question about hooking up my
throttle rod and transmission kickdown rod to my Edlebrock carb.

Seems after much reading that I really do need to hookup the Ford
Adapter to my Edelbrock carb. The adapter has the auto transmission
lever whereas the basic 1406 carb does not.
When the adapter is installed my throttle and transmission rods do not
line up with the carb.


Rather than bend rods etc...I was thinking of using a throttle cable
operated system. Did any of the 1973-1979 F100's use a throttle cable
instead of the throttle rod system? How about the transmission
kickdown...anybody know if a cable system was used from the carb to the
C6 transmission (1973-1979)? The transmission kickdown rod on my F100
has always seemed less than ideal for controlling the kickdown (kinda
flops around). Do you think a post 1979 cable system could be adapted
to my 1974 F100 throttle pedal assembly and transmission kickdown?
I already have an Edelbrock throttle cable adapter plate and universal
throttle cable bracket that I can use.

The following is the response I got from Ford's Customer Assistance
Center.

You recently contacted Ford Motor Company regarding a 1974 F-

The vehicle was assembled on 01/08/74 with the following options:

360 Cubic Inch V8 engine
133 Inch Wheelbase
Wimbledon White Exterior Paint
Regular Cab, Styleside Body
Ranger XLT Cab with Black Interior Trim
5500 Pound Gross Vehicle Weight Rating
Black Tape Stripe
Ammeter & Oil Pressure Gauges
Automatic Transmission
3.00 Conventional Rear Axle
Power Steering
H78 X 15B Belted White Sidewall Tires
Swing Lock Chrome Western Mirrors
Deluxe White Pickup Box Cover without Sliding Window
Air Conditioner
AM Radio
Tinted Glass
Protection Group
Mag Wheel Covers

I was very pleased to get this information...but it brought up a few
more questions.

1. What does the H and B refer to in the tire size H78 X 15B?
2. What are swing lock Western mirrors?
3. What is a Deluxe pickup box cover without sliding window?
4. Is the protection group the lap seat belts?
5. What exactly are Mag Wheel Covers?

Anybody care to take a stab at any of the above?

Don: From your internet address "pacific.net" I would guess your from
California. I was just in Las Vegas last weekend and you can get 87
octane from around $1.18. We here in California are being ripped off as
usual by our state govt for excess taxes.

My data shows that two different colors of white were available for the
1963 pickups, they were white and Corinthian White. Unfortunately my
book does not tell what the engine colors available were. May be someone
else will have that information.

Message-ID:

You might want to think twice before using an EFI 300...
I traded my 83 F250HD, 4 speed, A/C, 4:10 rear for an 87, same specs. 83 had
modified factory carb, and free flow muffler, and got 16 to 20 MPG (yes I
know, but I had the documentation). 87, even after some mods,never got above
10 to 14. Neither Ford nor I ever got it to idle as smooth as my old engine,
and power from 55 MPH up stunk (not that I would be admitting to exceeding
the speed limits or anything)...
I run a small fleet of Ford 250 / 350's, and we noticed this across the board
as we replaced trucks. We also noticed shorter engine life with the injected
engines for some reason. Rebuilds were more frequent. No idea why. We now use
351's [no 5.8's here ;^) ] in our trucks..
Just a lil snack for thought...

Another thing to check is the little ball and seat some Holley's have on the
accelerator pump discharge nozzle. If leaking, it can suck fuel thru when
running. Look down throat and see if ant fuel coming out discharge nozzle
when running.. Holley makes a differnt style nozzle that is less prone to
"drooling", I have P/N somewhere if needed....

One more thing that really gets me is that I can drive 30 miles to the
coast and the gas prices are about 10 to 12 cents more than here. Still
in the same state and still in the same county and the prices can very
that much. I am in Northern California, you guessed it. Anybody want
to start on the DMV?

To Ford Truck enthusiasts

I have a question to see if anyone else has run into this problem when
trying to install a aftermarket stereo in a 1980s Truck or Bronco. I
have a 1984 full size Bronco and have a Sony radio and cassette player in....
