Hi Fordtrucker's,

Got to up the antie to $.05 after looking up, and Miking Pistons.

Here are the specks as I know them,

292 CI....Same family as the '54 239, '55 272, and '56 292 also for '56 was a 312.
Bore....3.75

Rod length................6.455 Pin c/l to rod bearing c\l

Compression ratio lower for earlier year engines, but for the later ones it was 8.8:1
Large trucks had heavier pistons, as this engine was available for Semi trucks. I don't think a twin screw was available....Does anyone know?

There has been some messages about chevy owners giving Ford owners grief. Well here is some that was just told to me.
A chevy owner was telling how much of a shit box my truck is, sooo I set him straight. His truck a 1996 chevy stepside with 9000 miles so far to date has had the following probs. 1) blown motor (350 ci)
2) electrical shorts( not just one)
3) the driver's side window motor does not work
4) and peeling paint My truck in reference 1995 F150 FlareSide 4x4 Super Cab My probs. 1) replaced the steering wheel cover
2) replaced the power mirror switch because the word mirrors had rubbed off.
My truck has almost 50,000 miles and tows a 5700 lbs boat ,takes me hunting, goes 4wheeling , and works on the farm, etc.

My son just acquired an '88 F150 4X with a 302 and automatic (I don't even know if its OD). The truck has 127,000 miles and sounds great. He's absolutley enthralled with it, and likes it better than the 95 GMC he just had. I'm looking for any maintenance suggestions that the new owner might do following purchase, such as change the under frame fuel filterers. BTW this 302 has the eight injectors, and dual tanks.
Also does anyone know an external method of determining if this engine has roller or tappet lifters? My literature indicates the block (?) was configured for either. Let's see should we change the ignition part (what part?) and how long is reasonable before changing the timing chain?

Subject: '70s Voltage regulators
To: FORDTRUCKS lofcom.com

Hi Fordtrucker's,
Guess I've got to get technical again.
The small voltage regulators used in the '70s was fairly simple, and a complete wiring diagram is in the Haynes '64...'73 Mustang V8 manual...yes, it is for a Mustang, but the wiring is basic, and will work well on a retrofit.
My understanding on the subject is to first lay the regulator flat as it would be mounted, with the connecting pins up. the pin on the left goes to only the field connection on the Alternator, Next pin from the left goes to the C-3 Connection on the alternator, also to the electric choke,if so equipped.
The third pin from the left goes to the idiot light on the dash marked "alt"
Last pin on the right side goes to the battery along with the big connection on the alternator.
If there is any doubt about which pins are which...use an Ohmmeter...The first two pins should raad a fairly high resistance, where, the last pin to the right should show an open circuit everywhere.
Good luck

Good work, you got it going, and yes the charging light is needed for reliable operation of the alternator. It supplies a small current to the field winding to start the alternator going, then when the relay (inside the voltage regulator) connected to the stator connection closes, the light is disconnected from the circuit and is no longer needed. They will frequently start without the bulb just from residual magnetism, but not reliably. The wattage of this bulb is not critical just so long as it supplies the needed startup current to the field. A bulb the same size as the low oil pressure indicator (or any of the dash lights will do for that matter) should assure a reliable startup.

As to your question about the ammeter, there are several ways to connect it and I am not familiar with how the aftermarket folks do it. If the wires going to the meter are heavy wires they probably carry full alternator current and would be connected between the starter relay + post and the B+ connection on the battery, and you would need to remove the heavy wire that is now there. This is not a good way to do this but since it allows the use of a cheaper meter, this may be the way it is done. If the wires going to the meter are small it is a shunt type meter and would be connected across a shunt that is placed in the line going from the starter relay to the battery + post. The factory installation may use the wire going from the relay to the battery as a shunt. Sorry I am not much help on this, but you got the alternator going, I suspect you will figure out the meter also.

Roger Meier

Hi Roger,
Thanks for the quick response. You have peaked my interest now in reguards to the charge light. There was only 1 wire that comes into the cab and that one is the energizer wire for the reg. I have it wired to the back of the ign, a circuit which is only on when the key is on. I guess my question is where does the charge light hook in? I assume it would have to be inline so the current could pass through it? I think if I hook it to the energizer wire it will just stay on since it just has 12v going through it when the key is on. Anyway if you know give me a holler.
Thanks again for everything see ya later,
Charlie

Greetings --

Shouldn't the shunt go between the starter relay (solenoid) and the rest of the electrical circuit, not between it and the battery? Otherwise, the full starter current will flow through the shunt.

I hooked mine up by disconnecting all the wires from the battery post of the solenoid, except the battery cable, and then connecting the meter shunt between the battery terminal of the solenoid and the wires I disconnected.

Subject: '70s Gen to alt & regulators

Hi Fordtrucker's,

Just had to comment on the hookup of ammeters.
I consider it a bit risque to install an aftermarket meter that carries the entire load of the alternator, as it takes a run of #10 wire...two of them one side to the Battery, and all the load,except the starter, and the other side to th output of the alternator.
Th reason I consider it to be risque is the fact that these wires are unfused, and if they wear, and short to ground....You may be calling the fire dept.
If you use an OEM style Ammeter it requires a .02 Ohm shunt, which I made from existing wire on a conversion now has both idiot light, and ammeter.
What I did for proper OEM operation was to use the wire routed from the alternator to the battery connection as the shunt, by connecting the #18 guage wires from the meter , one side directly to the big terminal on the alternator, and the other to the closest connection to the battery ie, at the solenoid.
Works great, only it will have you thinking, as the meter works backward from what logic tells you to polarity - wise connect the meter...I had to reverse mine for proper ammeter swing.
Good luck

I know how you feel, although it does get great gas milage for a truck, it does
lack passing and towing power.

Well, for starters, you can remove the baffle behind the air filter, and take that
air muffler that is between the mass air flow sensor and the throttle body off
and replace it with a piece of 20 gauge stainless steel pipe that you can either find
or do like i did and roll it, then tack or spot weld it together, and to make it
look really nice, polish it with a polishing wheel, or you can use sandpaper.
That added a little bit more hp and made it a little louder also.

There are some more things you can do to it, but it will cost you a little bit more
money. You can throw a cam in it, you can put a supercharger on it, (if you are brave, you can go NOS), K&N Air filter, Flowmasters pipes, etc....

...OR...

you can do what im planing to do and swap it out with a 5.0L ;)

Buy a K&N Filter Replacement for it. Also get high performance spark plugs and wires. If you really want to go the extra mile, install a new custom dual exhaust system from the catalytic converter back. I have done all of this and more and my warranty still holds true.

Would this work on my 84 bronco II as well?

How much does it cost about?

>From myfive concentric.net Sat Apr 5 21:10:25 1997 From: "The Knopf's" Subject: 351M vs. 351W
To: FORDTRUCKS lofcom.com

I own a 83 F250 4X4 for daily driving (351W with the 4 speed manual), work and occasional plowing. I recently purchased a donor truck (84 with a 351M and C6 automatic).
Both being high milage, I have to rebuild one of these drive trains.
The question is, which drive train would better serve me? I'm leaning toward the 351M with the C6. I'd like some opinions?
Thanks and the information would be greatly appreciated.
