I did no paint mine. If you use late 50's ford 15" truck rims the hub caps fit right on over the three tabs on the rim. I also use the chrome beauty rims.

The hot line phone number is 1-810-468-1356. If you are building a 5.0 HO pick up the April issue of Mustang 5.0 magazine, it has an article about a 600 horse power 302 that is street drivable. I am following the article with a few exceptions, mainly the blower, and building that engine. I have access to a dyno and if interested I will post the HP when I finish. It should take me about a month to finish.

Ken Payne Admin, Ford Truck Enthusiasts ------------------------------ From: "Ron byron" Subject: Starter button Date: Thu, 9 Mar 2000 22:21:30 -0500 Hello Tom, The truck was originally positive ground and thus the starter button is a little strange. The button has one wire that connected the metal dash (pos battery) to the starter solenoid. The solenoid then connected the negative side of the battery to the starter when the button was pressed. You can use the original starter button in a negative ground system by adding an additional relay. You can pick up any 12 volt relay at your local electronics shop. We would use Radio Shack here in the states. Connect +12 to one side of it's coil and use the starter button to ground it. Use the relay contacts to apply positive voltage to your solenoid. Hope this helps Ron Byron 50-F1 ------------------------------ From: "shandy erisman" Subject: window glass 66 F250 Date: Thu, 09 Mar 2000 21:25:28 CST I have recently purchased my second ford truck A '66 F250 unfortunately it came without drivers side window glass or a rear window I have found a sliding rear replacement glass, yet none of my sources have the window glass.

Used to be you could get 4bbl and six-pack manifolds by Offenhauser. To my knowledge, nobody is making these intakes for Y-blocks anymore. Leastways, I couldn't find one when I was in the market. So I bought a used one from John Asaro at Street Dreams Automotive, (535 Berwyn, Dearborn Heights Mich 48127 (313)565-1106). It cost $140 plus shipping. A brand new carb set me back about $220. I believe that a 450 CFM would actually be big enough, but the 650's are cheaper and easier to find. If you're switching from a 2-bbl setup as I did, you'll need to change your linkage as well...

What type of adapter plate did you use? I currently have the 4 barrel that needs work and I thought changing it out to a new one would work better.

If the engine is stock, it will only use about 250 cfm, if that, at 5500 rpm. How many of you guys drive a Y block at 5 grand? The most economical and street worthy carb easily available for this application is a vacuum secondary 600 Holley 4160 (0-1850). If the motor is modified with a cam and headers, you might get away with mechanical secondaries (Holley 4150). Don't try mechanical secondaries on a carb this big on a engine this small unless you like pain and embarrassment. The 4160 bolts on a 4 BBL manifold in the stock location with stock linkage. Check for throttle plate interference with the manifold bores, you may need to use a spacer. On my 292 I've long used a 500 CFM Holley two barrel, it runs as good or better than the 4 barrel I used to have, and fits like stock. 2300 series Holley, Model 0-4412. Check it out. Summitracing.com or Jegs.com. 47 Fred ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 10 Mar 2000 08:44:55 -0500 From: 47Fred Subject: Re: Need more help Steve Schnitz wrote: > > Hello, need more help from you guys.
